My issue is I cannot get the fluffy bunny song out of my head. Little granny never gets more than two verses in before she is interrupted for the secret show, and I can't get it her out of my head. This brings to mind when the kids were little. The Barney "I love you" song going through your head. If you are a stay at home mom, Bob Seger slowly becomes replaced by Blues Clues. You are humming in your head and it is not anything on the Top 40. It is Dora the Explorer or something equally embarrassing. You find yourself with a spare moment, and instead of solving the world's hunger problem, you are singing the theme song to some show your kid watches that has nothing to do with world hunger.
See? We as women know, we are smart enough to solve wars and world hunger and all that jazz, but our children suck out our brain cells. Watching these shows is wonderful for them, they can learn their ABC's and 123's and all that. They all have messages about sharing and caring and being responsible and not being jealous and all that stuff. When my kids got older, the cartoons are just what they were when we were kids, funny and stupid and designed to make us laugh. Personally, I have been caught watching some with them, hilarious and funny and stupid. I mean, world hunger was never solved by Bugs bunny or the Road Runner.
So, while we need the shows to occupy their time so we can clean a bathroom when they are little, we need to not listen to the theme songs. Don't you get it? We can save the world, but Barney is blocking it. It is obviously some kind of plot. Cartoon creators don't want world peace, it is diabolical. They want us distracted by their theme songs and doubting our sanity. We are also doubting the fact that we were ever cool. I know I was cool, there are pictures of when I was cool. I had cool friends, we did cool things, now we all sing children's songs instead of U2......tragic.
So what is going through your brain at the moment? Are you hanging by a thread to coolness and singing Born in the USA by The Boss? Or, truth be told, you are singing something from some children's show? Face your demons, tell the truth and sing the farewell song. By the way, the lead character's name today, for security purposes, is Nincy Nancy LaLa.
God bless you and yours.

I have fallen into that trap. HOWEVER, there is a way out, it's call the B52's! Yes, you heard me correctly, the B52's. I was stuck in the kid music rut and missing my beloved alternative/punk music. I started thinking of what group I could play without fear of cuss words etc. that had a catchy kid friendly beat and I remembered I had a B52's greatest hits CD and VOILA, happiness everywhere. My darling daughter now requests "Rock Lobster" so she can sing the "ohh waa" part with me. It is great. The revolution has started and there is no stopping me now. (insert evil laugh track)
have you seen the Sherry Lewis and Lambchop show? I now have their song running through my head. This is the highlights...
this is the song that never ends, it just goes on and on my friend. Some body started singing it, not knowing what it was. And they'll continue singing it forever just be cause this is the song that never ends, it just goes on and on my firends. Some body started singing it not knowing what it was and they'll continue singing it forever just because this is ....
well you get it I think. I have had that in my head for the strangest times. It wasn't even on the air when my kids were young enough to watch it... my sisters kids learned the song and taught my kids and now in the strangest of places they will start singing it or it will pop into my head. car rides are tourture if someone remembers it then...LOL
