Mine, (DS-3) LOVES 'Paranoid Android' by Radiohead. We have to play it every morning in the car.

Cheery

My ds1 can sing "If You Really Love Me" by Stevie Wonder and "By the Way" by RHCP all the way through and often does. Although it goes "Daddy the girl is singing songs to me about a monkey"

All the Young Dudes - Mott the Hoople version.
Also now becoming keen on 'That's Entertainment' - the Jam.
Am very keen on an all round musical education, as long as there's no metal involved. DH has other ideas and I occasionally come across AC/DC in the car {sticks nose up in the air in disgust icon}

I know what you mean, SW. Hope his mental health does not suffer, but he seems to really love this tune, much more than any other we play in the car

'Laura' by Scissor Sisters. I have to have the CD in the car all of the time so that he can sing along! (He's 4, by the way). He's even got his little brother into it too!

Ds has always loved "We will rock you" by Queen (insert retching emoticon).
Was all set to share my love of Scissor Sisters until I listened more closely to the lyrics
LOL re THINKING ABOUT YOUR HOLIDAYS, ah that takes me back

Tetley, what about the rest of the album though...I think they are such a great band, just worried about ds trilling Tits on the Radio or Filthy/Gorgeous in the playground...

So far he hasn't picked up on any dodgy lyrics - but perhaps I ought to censor things a bit more

ds1 also loves 'Aeroplane" RHCP and it does say MF twice, suppose I had better be responsible and take it out of circulation

DSs love The Darkness (AKA Guitaroo Man - means nothing unless you have the game!), and had a big thing last summer for the Ozone 'Mai a hee' song. DS2 will sing along to almost everything on the radio - we listen to XFM or Virgin, so thankfully no Busted, McFly or suchlike

DD, 2 and 4 months, loves The Thin Ice from The Wall - we really do LOL at her singing "dragging behind you the silent reproach of a million tear-stained eyes"

DD loves anything by RHCP. She also loves The Road to Mandalay by Robbie Williams although I have no idea where she's heard that one... {hastily stuffs Robbie's Greatest Hits CD down the back of the sofa}

busted and mcfly make me feel like a grumpy old woman. I did the spotty teenage boy thing in the 80's, I've given myself permission to moan about them now

Me and DH love watching TOTP and grumping about 'modern music'.

i like busted and mcfly basically cos they are a true 'band' play their own instruments and write some of their music themselves

so there
