Title: I'm quite frightened Post by: Abagadro on January 03, 2009, 01:07:11 AM My FOUR YEAR OLD asked my mother in law today which version of Womanizer she liked, the one by the "the guys" or the "the lady".
How the hell did this happen? Title: Re: I'm quite frightened Post by: Righ on January 03, 2009, 01:31:43 AM I had to Google just to get an inkling of what your post was about. It appears to be a Britney Spears single. You're not really providing a safe environment for your child.
Title: Re: I'm quite frightened Post by: Abagadro on January 03, 2009, 01:36:51 AM Hell, I'm at work all day. The kids these days...
Title: Re: I'm quite frightened Post by: Ironwood on January 03, 2009, 01:56:01 AM You shouldn't mind as much, that's quite tame. What you should worry about is the single itself is possibly the worst screechings of a brain dead monkey leper. Seriously, listen to it sometime. It's total shit.
You might wanna sit the child down and give them a wee talk on 'Music; What's Good.' At our Christmas table, two of our under 8's were singing 'Smack That'. It's unbelievable. Title: Re: I'm quite frightened Post by: Abagadro on January 03, 2009, 01:58:17 AM Oh, I'm quite relishing introducing the wee one into the world of good metal. :rock:
Title: Re: I'm quite frightened Post by: Sir T on January 03, 2009, 08:31:54 AM I heard that single played last week on the show after my radio show. Apparently it's Britney coming back "with a bang"
It sounded like a cat being stuck in a blender and beaten to death with a clawhammer. Title: Re: I'm quite frightened Post by: schild on January 03, 2009, 08:42:39 AM I'm failing to see the surprise.

Apparently it's Britney coming back "with a bang" It sounded like a cat being stuck in a blender and beaten to death with a clawhammer. I've always been partial to "Deaf woman being tortured with a curling iron.".

What you should worry about is the single itself is possibly the worst screechings of a brain dead monkey leper. Seriously, listen to it sometime. It's total shit. Fuck's sake. I had to Youtube it because I just needed to know. Wow, that IS complete and utter shit. Does she even sing or did they just use a text-to-speech program to make up the "vocal" track? Title: Re: I'm quite frightened Post by: Yegolev on January 05, 2009, 08:28:56 AM My son's latest is Cat Party. Yeah, that Cat Party. It's awesome because no one knows what the hell he's talking about... even him. He just knows it's one of my ringtones. Previously it was "Oh yeah, oh yeah, it's my birthday" and variants, which he probably got from his new favorite show, The Mighty B. Before that it was "Who let the dogs out? WOOF WOOF WOOF!" which drove my wife nuts.
Normally, the wife and I only expose him to good music but his tastes are a bit off since he currently likes listening to Smashmouth. Blame lies with America's Funniest Pets and People, for this and Tag Team, and so many other things. Title: Re: I'm quite frightened Post by: Oban on January 05, 2009, 08:30:18 AM Does she even sing or did they just use a text-to-speech program to make up the "vocal" track? Welcome to overproduced music. Title: Re: I'm quite frightened Post by: Righ on January 05, 2009, 09:05:38 AM I'm not going to listen to it, but I bet they're hitting the auto-tune pretty hard and losing all the portamento.
Title: Re: I'm quite frightened Post by: Abagadro on January 05, 2009, 08:00:13 PM My kid's other favorite is apparently Hot N Cold by Katie Perry. (http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y222/Abagadro/mad2.gif)
Maybe he just likes boobies. Title: Re: I'm quite frightened Post by: Lakov_Sanite on January 05, 2009, 08:18:44 PM No matter what music YOU like, they will hate.
Title: Re: I'm quite frightened Post by: Trippy on January 05, 2009, 08:20:18 PM That's not true. My mom likes The Beatles and I do too.
Title: Re: I'm quite frightened Post by: UnSub on January 05, 2009, 08:35:31 PM My kid's other favorite is apparently Hot N Cold by Katie Perry. (http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y222/Abagadro/mad2.gif) Maybe he just likes boobies. My four-year old boy was being teased to the point of tears by his cousins that he "kissed a girl and he liked it". He doesn't roll that way yet, apparently. My kids walk around singing the 1960's Spider-Man theme. This makes me happy in the soul. Title: Re: I'm quite frightened Post by: DraconianOne on January 06, 2009, 05:34:51 AM My three-year old quite like its when I play NIN's Ghosts in the car. I'm not yet tempted to play any earlier stuff to him yet.
My 8 month old just goes to sleep - fortunately with a smile. (She also relaxes to Mozart though.) Title: Re: I'm quite frightened Post by: Merusk on January 06, 2009, 01:02:47 PM I remember well the :uhrr: and :ye_gods: reactions I got from you all 6 years ago when I said my then-4-year-old's favorite song was Rob Zombie's Dragula. Someone pointedly asked me wtf I was doing letting my daughter listen to it at such a tender age.
The lack of Mz. Spears, Cheetah Girls, Johnas Brothers etc in my house right now was so very, very worth all of the hazing. Phhbt. Title: Re: I'm quite frightened Post by: Bunk on January 06, 2009, 01:09:29 PM Based on the music that comes from the cubicle of the 25ish girl that sits behind me - the averge youth of today's musical tastes does not improve with age.
Every day, I hear this same song - no idea what it is, but it sounds like a group of women singing "One banana, two banana, three banana, four..." Title: Re: I'm quite frightened Post by: Nebu on January 06, 2009, 01:14:33 PM I need to be careful about being too judgemental about today's music. When I was in high school in the early 80's, I thought most fo the music was shit and preferred to listen to the stuff from the late 60's and early 70's. There's always a lot of crap around.
Title: Re: I'm quite frightened Post by: Cranky on January 06, 2009, 01:37:23 PM Every day, I hear this same song - no idea what it is, but it sounds like a group of women singing "One banana, two banana, three banana, four..." Coincidentally I think that could actually be Britney Spears' Womanizer. It rhymes anyway.

I don't know if I should be :awesome_for_real: or :uhrr: - but that sounds like someone has done a cover of the banana splits theme song. Which is super mega awesome, and is still imprinted in my brain from when I watched it 25-odd years ago.

Title: Re: I'm quite frightened Post by: Fraeg on January 06, 2009, 02:36:33 PM Oh, I'm quite relishing introducing the wee one into the world of good metal. :rock: No such thing as too young for metal. My dad got me started with Iron Butterfly's Inagadadavida on my mono Fischer Price record player. If your child has been exposed to Britney it might take a swift dose of death metal to cleanse your child.

Which is super mega awesome, and is still imprinted in my brain from when I watched it 25-odd years ago. I whistle that song when I'm questing in WoW, breaking out vocally at the TRA-LA la la, la-la-la-la, la la la la-la la-la la part. My wife just shakes her head and sighs. Even more awesome is when Cartoon Network, Boomerang or Adult Swim tosses on some of the clips or the theme song at commercial breaks. "Restored" theme song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2se2I70CJ0) Wow, I didn't think it was possible for YouTube to have worse quality vids but that one tries. Ah well, he's giving effort and nobody cares except about the song anyway. Oh, also Liz Phair did a cover. See it here. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49oDGIg2QXY&feature=related) While I'm thinking on it; get your kids into Rock Band and Guitar Hero if only for their exposure to rock music. :rock_hard: :rock: :hulk_rock: Title: Re: I'm quite frightened Post by: Trippy on January 06, 2009, 02:56:11 PM That's from the album Saturday Morning Cartoons' Greatest Hits.

Title: Re: I'm quite frightened Post by: Merusk on January 06, 2009, 03:45:22 PM Ah ok. I'll read the comments next time. I was wondering who the fuck this Mark Buran guy was, and why he was included with the artists I actually recognized. Looks like they did that for several of the artists, like not listing Helmet or Matthew Sweet. How fucking bizarre.
Title: Re: I'm quite frightened Post by: DraconianOne on January 07, 2009, 04:04:30 AM My nephews weren't allowed to visit Uncle Iain's place anymore after one of them came home singing 'Head Like a Hole'. I used to sing that to my son when he was a couple of months old to get him to stop crying. It always made him stop and start laughing - whether it was the song or my singing is irrelevant. His godfather serenaded him with "Body Count's In The House" much to his mother's consternation. Not that she knows who or what Body Count is. She'd rather play Celine Dion at him but I put my foot down. (Needless to say I didn't marry her for her music tastes.) Someone did: http://www.amazon.com/Saturday-Morning-Cartoons-Greatest-Hits/dp/B000002OYG I have that CD, love it to death. I have a CD called This is Cult Fiction Royale (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cult-Fiction-Royale-Various-Artists/dp/B000026M6A) which is full of old film and UK TV theme tunes (like Bullitt, Get Carter, The Persuaders, Man in a Suitcase, The Sweeney, The Professionals etc.) It's pretty damn awesome but they obviously ran out of ideas by the end of the second CD as they included the themes to The Magic Roundabout and Tiswas too (which UK folk of a certain age may remember with a certain fondness. Or not.) Title: Re: I'm quite frightened Post by: Lantyssa on January 07, 2009, 08:10:55 AM I used to sing that to my son when he was a couple of months old to get him to stop crying.

Title: Re: I'm quite frightened Post by: Draegan on January 07, 2009, 10:49:12 AM Wow I just rubbernecked and listen to the song. What a fucking piece of shit.
Lily Allen did a cool job with it though. Music kinda reminded me of a Beetle song that I can't remember the name of. Title: Re: I'm quite frightened Post by: Murgos on January 07, 2009, 11:40:34 AM Because of this thread I youtubed 'Womanizer'.
Uh, post-processed much? It's cute that they blend some of it into a sort of Bollywood sound but I really didn't care for it otherwise. Edit: Also, the video. Can we say "body double"? Title: Re: I'm quite frightened Post by: Bunk on January 08, 2009, 07:25:51 AM Turns out, the One Banana Two Banana song is in fact Womanizer.
I still get the joy of hearing it in the background multiple times every day.

By the end of the year, most of them chose stuf like Soundgarden and/or Black Sabbath for the soundtracks for their animation projects and their Photostories. I was proud. :drill:
They also ended up liking Tenacious D an awful lot, the bits I allowed them to hear, anyway. But I have to be really careful what I play in the classroom. :awesome_for_real: Title: Re: I'm quite frightened Post by: MahrinSkel on January 17, 2009, 08:11:19 PM I had to go and download the Tra-la-la-la Song. Now I will have to go out and bang my skull against the concrete until the damned thing is out of my head. I hope you're happy, bastards. On the plus side, even for a bubble-head-pop singer, Liz Phair was pretty hot.

Title: Re: I'm quite frightened Post by: DraconianOne on January 20, 2009, 04:31:25 AM Looks SWG to me - Balgosa Windspire was a prolfic machinma creator making a lot of dance related videos. Most popular was probably Fette's Vette. The booty dance* was in SWG for a long time - certainly since before I joined which was august 2004-ish. No idea if it still is but it was a definite part of the dancer skills (says he who played a fat male human dancer for a bit)
