Lately I've been finding myself listening to kids music. Yes, children's music. Baby mania you ask? Not quite yet....maybe a 4 on the scale of 1-10. Honestly, I just enjoy the silliness. Most of my favorite songs have always had sing-a-long, silly type lyrics, be it Beck, The Beastie Boys or Mickey Avalon. So here I am sharing two very recent albums that will instantly put a smile on your face when you listen to them.
-Barenaked Ladies- "Snack Time"
-Kimya Dawson- "Alphabutt"
Listening to the Barenaked Ladies has always given me the feeling of home. Their album "Gordon" was the first cassette I ever bought, with my own allowance! I was fourteen.
These songs are so super cute, I just want to gush. There's one song that has recordings of kids and adults saying their names and then their favorite snack and Bubbles is one of them! *sigh*

Back in the day, my sister and I would listen to the Moldy Peaches. (be weary about listening to that at work or with small ears around) When she was here to visit last spring we went to see Kimya Dawson preform. Not exactly my taste in music anymore, but my sister really wanted to go. The show was made up of mostly annoying fourteen year olds that were there because of the movie "Juno" but whatever. Ms Dawson had a little girl in the last year or so and had a few songs that she played that were to be in her upcoming kids album. I was in love with the songs instantly. Songs about poo and farts and gorilla farts....how could you not?

Anyway, I don't have any kids and it might seem weird that I'm slowly collecting kids music, but look at it this way; when I do have kids....I won't be one of those parents that wants to shoot Teletubbies or Hanna Montana in the face if I had the chance. My kids might turn out.....kinda cool.
