SKL Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I don't know, but we were on the way home from church today, jammin along with Billy Joel singing: "I'd rather laugh with the sinners than die with the saints; the sinners are much more fun." It struck me as not the best choice for that particular time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThisIsTheDay Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 How about Van Halen's Running with the Devil, and Foreigner's Hot Blooded. My kids are teens now. When I think back to what I listened to in the 70s and 80s, it gives me a great perspective on the insignificance of lyrics. I have chilled a lot on what my kids listen to, because I remember that we were really much more into the music and not the message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommyfaithe Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 My kids never get mortified....they like it. We say we have Musical Tourettes in this family because you just never know when someone will break out in some song having to do with the situation we are in.....:D My kids have been to all sorts of concerts....from Peter, Paul and Mary.....to Blue Oyster Cult....to the Hudson Valley Philharmonic.....to punk battle of the bands. We like music.....and we all bust into song. Funniest was Ds , then 7, singing his part of our Passover service just like Angus Young. We about split our sides. :lol::lol::lol: But, I guess if I had to pick one to embarrass with...it would be Meatloaf's Bat Out of Hell.

We have the attitude that it doesn't matter how you sound, singing it joyful, do it often!

He loved Rockin' Roller Coaster and we went on it multiple times that trip. He would come off the RC singing, "Love in an Elevator!" very loudly! Or he would sing, "Dude looks like a lady!"

Jenny in Florida Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Sadly, it's pretty near impossible to embarrass my daughter. Don't think I haven't tried! But she pretty much likes me, and we have a lot of things in common, and she's very clear on the fact that everyone has parents who are old and silly. So, since I'm (usually) at least a little less ridiculous than most parents she knows, she can't work up any embarrassment. My son actually listens to some of the playlists I created on his own iPod, and we sing in the car together all the time. He's a little easier to embarrass in public, but mostly just because I'm singing at all, rather than because of the specific song. It's sad, because there are certainly days when I've love to make them blush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have chilled a lot on what my kids listen to, because I remember that we were really much more into the music and not the message. Interesting perspective! When we think about what was going through our heads listening to the lyrics, it makes dh and I more strict :D Nor did I listen closely to the Grease soundtrack. Wow... :iagree: I didn't really get the Grease songs till I was over 30! (Yes, I'm slow!) But, I guess if I had to pick one to embarrass with...it would be Meatloaf's Bat Out of Hell. That's great! I was thinking Paradise by the Dashboard Lights! Of course, dd's have only heard it once, at a wedding, and yes dh and I could still sing it together, and yes, they had NO idea what it meant, and yes, they laughed at us. But at 17 I certainly knew what that one meant. We are very careful abut music in our house. We frequently are crazy, especially dh, so there is not much left for us to embarrass our kids with :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeslieAnneLevine Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Anything Weird Al. (Though I don't try to embarrass my son, it's more me being annoying at home lol) -"You can even cut a tin can with it, but you wouldn't want to!" (the B-52's song mentioned, which I JUST heard last night at the grocery store, reminded me of that one) -"A used, pink bathrobe, a rare mint snowglobe, a Smurf TV tray, that I bought on eBay" -"Meet the new sauce, same as the old sauce" -"I wanna bowl with the gangstas..." Add to this that I make up my own lyrics and my poor son isn't going to know what any songs are. Luckily at the bowling alley we sometimes hear "The Safety Dance" because before that he only knew it as: "We can dance, we can dance, but first you need to put on your pants" (as a way of telling him he needed to get dressed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
