My son and his music.

My seven year old son was singing the other day in the car, I thought he was singing this.



Now I never really cared for this sort of music in high school but I thought it was cool that he knew it and started singing along. After a few minutes I realized he was actually singing the Chorus to this.



Now this is an excellent rap I enjoy it and as my son dances hip hop it makes sense that he would have heard it. However it is not particularly appropriate for a first grader to be singing. Even worse I don't even really care to explain to him why it is a problem. Admittedly it isn't as bad as you would get from the chorus, but it is a song about spending money on strippers. So I used a ploy that worked when he was a baby. If he was playing with something that for whatever reason I didn't want him to have, like my keys, I would give him a toy he would like better. Now my boy likes hip hop but he loves punk and metal so I found him a copy of this.



Problem solved. If the song had actually been about oral sex which is what I thought after I heard him singing the chorus I would have probably taken a little stronger stance to discourage him but as it is this has worked out perfectly. I also discovered an awesome new band. I listened to the rest of their catalogue on YouTube and they are incredible. I am going to have to download some from ITunes for my collection.

testing 123 is this commenting on the spin me round post?

Nevermind. Check the older post for my comment for this post.

I think it is working now your comments came through

Tracy said...

It isn't showing a place to leave a comment. Just an envelope. I went to the older post and clicked newer post and then it allowed me to comment for this post.
???

Tracy said...

I'll check again later.

Ryk said...

Interesting, it is showing the bit that says 5 comments on mine right before the envelope. Very odd. I have checked my page settings but nothing seems amiss

Tracy said...

Still isn't working. Yes, it is odd. I checked some other blogs I follow, and their comment thingy works. Hopefully it'll work itself out. I don't know what to tell you except... I'm going to bed. :) We are going to the museum tomorrow. Big day planned. Goodnight.
Perhaps you could contact another blog friend and see if they are able to comment. Maybe there's something wrong on my end???

from what I can see, on my main page where all of my posts show the comments thing is there but on the page just for this post it is not. Can't figure out why. I am also done blogging tonight. The wife wants to play video games.

Tracy said...

I am officially following your blog.
Your comment thing seems to be working now.

Tracy said...

It's not working anymore.

Ryk said...

AAAARRGh I dunno whats up. I will post something else soon and see if that fixes it.

Tracy said...

Do you literally say AAAARRGH?
My son does.
Funny!

Btw, there was a barn fire at our orchard. It was a storage barn. I don't know how extensive the damage was. Just thought I'd mention it because I talked about the tornado with you.

Did you notice the blue pic I selected to follow your blog? A little color for your dark blog does good. :0)

Ryk said...

I do like it and I am glad you are following:)

It seems that few people are nowadays.

I took a bit of a break from atheist blogging because I was preoccupied with work and family and many people lost interest.

I had at one time a 50-60 unique views a day and several commentors. I am now down to a dozen or so views and one commentor, so thanks for keeping on.

You are an interesting guy!
I'm glad that you follow my blog too.
