It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these… So I thought I’d actually go with Robin’s original inspiration and cover something involving music.
I’m currently caught between two muses: really awful kids’ TV music and the grownup CDs I’ve been listening to.
So first the embarrassing one. This would be The Fresh Beat Band. I have only caught one or two of the shows on Nick Jr. (it must be on when we’re not watching – which would be sometime between 8 p.m. and 7 a.m.) but their music videos play after almost every other show that airs. It’s bad, bad, kiddie crack. And I’ve taken one too many hits…
Should I be worried that I’m only half faking it when I dance with my children to this?
Yeah – that’s what I thought. So I’m going to wash my ears out with the antithesis of happy, snappy kid music.
I’m going with Pink. And she will have to be my savior since the disco and cheesy 90’s dance music that’s been making all too frequent appearances in our CD player when I’m left to my own devices will only get me half way there.
So Pink it is. I think I’ll start with this (said in my best “help me Obi One Kenobi – you’re my only hope” voice):
Sorry it’s not much of a visual – but I can’t embed the actual video. If you need something a bit flashier, go HERE. Either way, that oughta do it….
Don’t forget to grab a button and add your Monday’s Muse link over at Cinnamon & Honey every Monday!
Our computer died last week, and we haven't updated it properly yet, so I not only can't see the images on your blog, I can't watch the videos. Wah. But I love Pink – you rock on you!
I love that you did a music post! Even if it's kids' music 99.9% of the time! :) I hear similar stories from friends who have all sorts of kiddie tunes stuck in their brains driving them nuts! You definitely need a reprieve every once in a while… I highly recommend some sort of waterproof iPod device for the shower! That way you'll get a few minutes a day of adult tunes! :)
Fun muse… thanks so much for linking up! :)
OMG, two of my favorites.
The Fresh Beat Band is not exactly a favorite but like you I can't help but bebop to it when I watch it with the kids.
And Pink….you know I LOVE her! Seriously, her music, her performance, her being-herselfness and just her!
:)
Oooh that first one – ouch. Pink is a definite improvement!
If the life you live each day isn't enough to drive you around the bend, The Fresh Beat Band is definitely crazy-making stuff. The rap segment gave me a major headache and it only lasted a few seconds. I can't imagine having to listen to something like that again and again. I guess I sound like the old fogey I am, but that's the way I see it.
I love So What. It's like my own mini anthem sometimes.
Ut Oh, Oh no, Whatcha Say?
We are big fans of The Fresh Beat Band. My daughter is in love with the tall dorky one.
