Our kids have inherited our enjoyment of classic rock. They're as much into (insert generic Disney/Nickelodeon kid star here) as the next kid, but they also love a good Journey, Foghat or Lynyrd Skynyrd tune. It's part Guitar Hero influence and part coolness, we like to think, and it makes them a lot more fun to hang out with than they were during the Wiggles years!
So the other day in the car, my husband decided to play "Welcome to the Jungle" for our son to see if he liked it. It's nothing we'll put on his mp3; the lyrics aren't awful, but still a little too rough for a nine-year-old boy to hear on a regular basis, I think. But it's one of our favorites so we wanted to give it a try.
The song finishes and just as we're about to ask our son how he liked it, we hear "AWESOME!"
From our five-year-old daughter.
Yes, our sweet little girl was listening! We started the song again, and sure enough there she is moshing her head to that dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun leading to the first familiar riff of the song. Really adorable, if not a little disturbing. Unfortunately, my husband has a newfound fear of my daughter as a future metal band video slut. I'm doing my best to talk him down.
Oh, and my son loved it too. :-)
