Music Video Critics

When I pick up the boys, I switch off the NPR and turn on the music channels. The boys usually latch on to certain songs that are currently in pop music rotation. They have been obsessed with anything from Lady Gaga, Katy Perry's Hot and Cold, and Green Day's 21 Guns. They are trying to learn all the words and I think it is hilarious when they start busting out the song on their own. (Although I wonder what must their teachers must think when they start busting out some of the songs in their repertoire like Flight of the Conchords' Business Time.)
Because they are obsessed with these songs, I sometimes like to play the videos for them on You-Tube. They make me play Lady Gaga’s over and over. When we played the Green Day video they were disappointed. They asked where Lady Gaga was and I told them she wasn’t in this one. They told me that the video would be much better if she was in it.

Did you show them Gaga's SNL performance? Ron and I actually watched both of her performances without fast-forwarding. This is unprecedented in our house! Post more videos soon I love to see those two dance it out ;)
