To wonder what it is about Shotgun by George Ezra...

[DizzyPhillips]

...that seems to send preschoolers mental?!

Kids parties etc this song comes on and they go nuts! The girls in DDs nursery say the kids ask for it, but I have friends with kids at different nurseries who say the same thing so it can’t just be DDs pals.

I mean it’s catchy and upbeat but so are lots of songs 🤷🏻‍♀️

Oh god I’m sick of it! my five year old wanted in on repeat for an hours journey on Wednesda, I liked it for the first three times...

Oh Lord, my bloody brain keeps singing it to me now. It’s such an ear worm.

Never heard of this but giving it a go with my five year old.

my five year old son is obsessed with george ezra! he love shotgun and always wants me to put it on for him in the car. i actually kind of fancy george ezra tbh...

No reaction whatsoever put this on afterwards and he is bouncing away

I don’t know but it’s always on at my Son’s School discos along with Paradise and they even play it in Reception during golden time as a treat.

I think it’s a really good song for kids to like. I’d much rather this than Baby Shark. I don’t think he’s smug at all, I think he seems like a nice guy, slightly awkward and not even trying to be Mr Cool.

ooh, I love shotgun and uptown funk!

My DS6 can't stop singing this in the house in the car, he's not getting fed up yet!

It's the most annoying song ever (to me anyway)
I loathe it.

Maybe Iran because he burps at 59 seconds in.

I dont know but i think if i hear it one more time i might comit Hari Kari !

Its on local.radio at least once an hour and as its on all day at work there is no escape😠 that and about 8 other so called 'hits' shit over and over........its bloody torture.

It's Gerry Cinnamon with my teeny and his ilk (which I am not terribly pleased about, but that's another thread).

'SHE IS A BELTURRRRR'

I used to play him Baby Mozart

I’m in town and guess what the busker’s belting out?

I love this, and most George Ezra. Great voice and lovely moves.

Probably because he says things like 'see you later alligator'.

I’ve never listened to the original song, only to the David Cameron parody.

It is very catchy though.

For a little light relief...

at the Cameron version!

My 4 year old loves it.

My 17, 6 and 3 year olds all love it. As do I . It's a full house hit here! Not many of those around for the ages of my children!

Speaking of Mika, we play him a lot here. Try Popular... if you don't mind a good old ear worm

My kids all love Shotgun. I actually think Paradise and Budapest are much better songs.

Agree with PP that George Ezra always seems in on the joke and doesn't take himself too seriously.

Claim to fame alert. I had a fag with George Ezra outside the venue he was playing about 5 years ago just before he hit the big time. He was lovely, down to earth and very sweet.

My 2 year old sings along to this song!! And has been since she was 18 months. It's just catchy she also loves shut up and dance with me.

This is a timely thread, I was only thinking the same this morning. My 6 and 4 year absolutely love it and I often hear them singing it to themselves. I love it too. It makes me feel summery and happy.

Its ds 5 favourite song! God knows why
