She may not always get to pick the music when we ride in the car together, but today she gets to pick what goes on this page, for better (the song below) or worse (the aforementioned links). That should partially compensate for the days she has to suffer through another version of something both written and performed by a human, rather than an iMac.
Today’s Rockin’ Friday song is Counting Crows’ Mrs. Potter’s Lullaby. It’s one of a rare group of songs that Mrs. Dude and I both agree on playing for our Little Dude. MPL is a song about longing, which is apropos because it’s a long song, clocking in at 7+ minutes. That being said, you might not think it’s a kid-friendly song, since their attention span often runs less than 2.5 minutes, but this song has such great lyrics and a very catchy chorus that it’s worth the time investment. Believe me, you’d much rather listen to MPL once than 3 Wiggles songs in the same amount of time.

Can you count all the Crows? |
Hey Mrs. Potter, don't cry
Hey Mrs. Potter, I know why but
Hey Mrs. Potter, won't you talk to me
Hey Mrs. Potter, I know why but
Hey Mrs. Potter, won't you talk to me
Do you and your significant other agree on music? How do you decide what to listen to?
Happy Birthday to the one and only Mrs. Dude!

Great music choice! I like dance music, but I turn it down because it's a purely guilty pleasure. Music with instruments played by real people truly makes me happiest...
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jennifer. I couldn't agree with you more.
