Son and I listen to tunes in the car for the half hr trip from work / day care to home.
I load up the iPod with the recommendations iTunes suggests but he vetoes the songs after listening to the intros and a few seconds of the first verse or so.
The conversation goes something like this:
Son: "put the music on...put the music on...put the music on" X 50.
Dad: ShitAlrightSettelDownImDriving
Son: "put the music on...put the music on...put the music on" X 50.
Dad: puts the music on
Dad: "New songs or ones you like already?"
Son: "New ones."
- songs play -
Son: "No."
- next song -
Son: "No."
- next song -
Son: "No."
- next song -
Son: "No."
- next song -
Son: "More"
- song finishes -
Son: "Again please."
- song repeats -
Son: "Again please."
- song repeats this time he's humming the tune and asks about the words -
Son: "Again please."
- song repeats this time he's singing along complete with bopping head and facial expressions like he's squeezing lemons with his eyes when he hits the high notes -
Son: "No more. Next song please."
etc.
Based on these trips I now bring you three songs he recommends over the last week:
- Sequel out me some skinny love
- Howl out at the moon with furr
- then hit me with that magic beam Sandman

I'm totally getting those tunes right now!
:)
hi honey. Your son has good taste in music. I love that Mister Sandman video. I put it in my faves...
My son likes to listen to Lady Gaga's 'pokerface.' and he likes Pink too.
xxx.
Ha Ha Ha! He sounds like a real trip to travel with. You are a lucky man.
the kid's got good taste? ... except the sandman song seems like it could be used ironically in a mass slaying scene in a slasher film, or something.
