Listen At Your Own Risk

I get songs stuck in my head all the time, usually really annoying ones. Last week after reading a music flashback post on another blog I had Electric Blue by Icehouse stuck on continuous play for at least two days. Lord help me. Although I think the worst song to get stuck in your head is Manfred Mann’s Blinded By The Light. Seriously, watch the following video clip at your own risk. I will not be liable for you being wrecked up like a douche (Can you believe the actual lyrics are revved up like a deuce? And Bruce Springsteen wrote it?).

Now that I have a child and am becoming more familiar with children’s programming there is a whole new world of crap songs to get stuck in my head. For example, the theme songs for Franklin (the whiny ass turtle), Wow!Wow!Wubbzy!, and anything from that obnoxious show Lazytown. And Ni Hao, Kai-Lan has a pretty obnoxious theme song (She’s the Chinese Dora for those of you not watching Nick Jr.). And I freaking hate The Wonder Pets. That stupid duck, Ming Ming, with the speech impediment needs a one way ticket out of the classroom. “There’s an animal in TWOUBLE.” On today’s show they were climbing the “PYWAMIDS.”

There are a few shows that I do enjoy, like Jack’s Big Music Show. That’s a cute show and the music doesn’t make your ears bleed. Maybe I’m just a sucker for puppets. And I like Oswald. It has Fred Savage from The Wonder Years and the guy that played Squiggy in Laverne & Shirley. So there you go, a new Mom’s perspective on Noggin/Nick Jr. I should be in a focus group.
