One thing I have noticed, though, is that there is much less a common body of songs for contemporary kids, with the exception of pieces from really popular movies and Hamilton. I remember a kid party years back where my tween was the one person under the age of 35 who knew all the words of "Eye of the Tiger"-which was amazing to me, because we're in Memphis-that's one of the unofficial fight songs for the UM football team, for crying out loud (I think my kid knew it due to sharing a gym with the UM cheer and dance teams for practice). My kids, several years older than yours, know all the words to "Eye of the Tiger" as well. It was about the only thing they liked about "Rocky" ("Did they not have consent when y'all were growing up?") and I think it got a lot of play on one of our Wii games. Everyone who works out should know this song. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happi duck Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 (edited) @MercyA Best lip sync ever!!!!!!

Pippen Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 4 hours ago, Junie said: Yes, I know this song. Although, to be fair, it might be because I worked data entry one summer during college and they played the radio in the office. The radio station was "the greatest hits of the 70s, 80s, and 90s". I called it, "We play the same 100 songs every day, just in a different order." I know this song, but I was just graduating from college. And I can still belt it out just as badly now as I did then.

SKL Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 (edited) I asked my 14yo daughters if they knew it, and they said yes. I told them to hum the music just to prove it to me, and they did. I am not a fan of that singer, I just listen to a couple radio stations (in the car) that play pop music from my whole lifetime, and that song has been on enough times in recent years for my kids to know it.

happi duck Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 (I feel blocked whenever I post something that isn't commented on until someone else posts the same thing. 😬) I especially liked the first five seasons of Supernatural.

rebcoola Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I asked my 14 & 12 yr old and they both know it and can sing quite a bit. It is not a song on any of the adults playlists. They say it's in quite a few movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I can't handle an actual horror movie!) What happi duck said! The first five seasons were my favorite as well. I love ghost stories and urban legends and the first few seasons, especially, are full of them. Great characters, great humor, very entertaining. I did have some quibbles in later seasons when characters would occasionally quote what was supposedly Scripture. I'd be like, "Hey! The Bible doesn't say that!" But they also got some things right(ish). I haven't watched the last couple seasons yet! No spoilers, please! 😉 Not for young kids due to violent and scary imagery. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you like sometimes campy, hunting of monsters along with touching moments of brotherly love that over the years builds a community with beings you would never think could be family - then maybe it's for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 12 hours ago, Terabith said: So, how is Supernatural? I've wondered if it's worth watching. I love it. I didn't start watching it until it had been on a few years but then binged 6 seasons all at once. It's on Netflix. You definitely can't take it too seriously. It gets super weird Meta sometimes, and some seasons are definitely better than others but overall it's great. I have certain episodes I watch when I need a pick-me-up. Once you get into it, it's also worth watching the outtake videos, tribute videos with clips set to popular songs, and check out tumblr with all the Supernatural has a gif for everything. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
