Things kids will never believe

[MK Shrimper]

Fair point! I like The Housemartins, so I'm going to play them in the car this weekend when driving around my children (both six). Let's see how we go, although I am already predicting my daughter saying "Dad, this is rubbish, put on Shawn Mendes"

Happy Hour is a sure fire kid hit, shurley? :unsure:

Perfect for the short drive to football training tomorrow morning I reckon!

'Sheep' as well - my youngest used to request we listen to that - their melodies are almost nursery rhyme esque.

Both Kimya Dawson and Laura Viers wrote album's for their kids which may be worth a go.

For the very young 'Punk Rock Baby' was classic punk tracks converted to lullabies and they went on to make 'Rave Baby' 'Ska Baby' etc - good gifts for new parents.

That's what happens when they go and release CD's of both bands on one. I think Paul and Jacqui are doing both bands numbers on their recent tour too.

We had a player that would score over 20 goals a season every season he was here , his name was King Billy Best .

True, but good point by Firestorm there. The version we have is very much NOT the radio edit!

Yeah I saw them in Badalona two years ago and there were covers of both band's songs in their set.Excellent evening.

My kids are into their music- Drake and Jeezy mainly. But i got the eldest into the Dave Brubeck quartet which is nice.

 

[MK Shrimper]

Mine loves The Beatles. I wonder how that happened. :unsure:

My wife has a story of being spoken to by a teacher as her kids were singing "inappropriate songs"
Their dad was driving them to school with a Dr Hook tape on, they had picked up on the catchy line "That's what I do when I can't get no pussy"

Our ITT 26 inch no less had buttons on the front for channels so we had a snooker cue for changing channels. Prompts me to remember that this telly was passed to me, survived for 20 years and was still going when I offloaded it. So for kids of today when you bought electrical goods they generally lasted years.

I remember that our first remote control telly would change channels when you shook a bag full of copper coins. Twas very odd (and fun when your dad was trying to watch the news....)

Video recorders where the "remote" was attached to the machine by a long cable...
