Funniest thing I have ever heard!!!

[oliegirl]

So my son, who got out of school yesterday, and I are driving all over town running errands today. He is bored out of his mind so I throw Kids Bop 6 in the CD player. For those of you who don't have kids and aren't familiar with Kids Bop, they take popular songs and have kids sing them - it's very annoying but it keeps him quiet, so I view it as a necessary evil in life.

Anyway, today we make it to track 5 or so, and the song "Are You Gonna Be My Girl" by Jet comes on and we are singing along. We both love that song and sing it on the radio too so I knew he knew the words. Halfway through I hear him say something, and turn down the radio and ask him to repeat it. Conversation went as follows:

Me (reaching to turn down the radio): What did you just say?

Him (looking confused): I was singing

Me: I know, but what did you say?

Him: Big black boobs, long brown hair, she's so sweet with her get back stare...

Now, as you all should know the proper lyric is "Big black BOOTS, long brown hair, she's so sweet with her get back stare"...I was laughing so hard I literally had to pull over into a parking lot until I got it out of my system!

I just had to share :)

My 4 year old loves that song as well. Didn't buy the whole album though. Just bought the song off iTunes. I must admit I like the song as well.

Does he sing the lyrics right? ;)

Darn, probably should have mentioned that the 4 year old is my daughter. For the most part she sings the lyrics right and for the words she doesn't know, she just mumbles, but she mumbles with conviction.

[illinifan999]

I have an unhealthy dislike for that song.

Don't worry, me neither.

[Antmeister]

Don't worry, me neither.

I'm surprised, they used to overplay that song for weeks on MTV.

It was also one of the songs used in a few IPod commericals

You're not alone in this feeling.

[ThunderingHERD]

I'm getting older-ish now, and I have alot of friends now, like about half my friends have kids. And I think thats, uh--rude. And the thing that bothers me is that they swear, each one of them, to a person, always swears "I'm not gonna be like that guy that's gonna bore you with all the stories. Trust me, man, we know what it was like when Innis had his kids and we're not gonna, we're not gonna do that to you."

And they say that, absolutely, up until the day the baby comes out them it's like BOOM, memory erase. Cause then they're like, oh, they just start regaling you with these wonderfully long-winded stories of banal minutiae that the kid did. Like, "Oh, David, you should have seen him, he's great, he's such a funny little guy, I mean just yesterday, yesterday, yesterday, yesterday--he was staring at this grape."

What? I--I can stare at grapes. I'll stare at grapes with you. Come on. What the fuck happened to our friendship? I really think it's our obligation as friends to be brutally honest and be frank with them and say, "Look, I'm sorry, but your baby is <i>fucking BORING."</i>

"Ok, kid, what do you got for me? Really? That's what you had yesterday and the day before that. 'BLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAH,' <i>next</i>! Why don't you come back in four years when you accidentally say something funny. Alright?

I'm sorry, it's just what came to mind first :D

[Radii]

In that case I probably have heard it but don't know it by name.

(What's it from?)

SI

[ThunderingHERD]

(What's it from?)

SI

David Cross - It's Not Funny. The track is "Certain Leaders In Government Look Or Act Like Certain Pop Culture References!"

[cuervo72]

No idea on the song.

("as you all should know", grumble grumble)

[stevew]

Kidz Bop is insipid garbage marketed to children, complete with risque lyrics that arent even edited/toned down when they contain questionable subject matter.

[Ksyrup]

I wanted to write Jet off as an AC/DC ripoff band, but there are a few surprises on that album, and I actually ended up liking it. Haven't listened to it in about 6 months, though. Maybe that'll go on the trip to JAX this weekend...

[Antmeister]

This is amazing. This thread started about how a child misintrepreted a song lyric and it became the anti-Jet, anti-Kid's Bop with sprinkles of people who liked the album.

Only on the FOFC!

[Ksyrup]

I love the song Big Old Jed Had a Light On. How about you?

Threadjack complete.

I just think that when you market something as tame and children friendly, perhaps you should watch the song selections a bit, or reword a few questionable lyrics. But undoubtedly that is each individuals parents decision to make.

[Neon_Chaos]

Jet's a good band.

Hey, I'm not offended, I just find it humorous. This thread could be about how someone hates toasted wheat bread and the thread will turn into the fallacies of the wheat industry and how white bread is getting a bad rap. :)

[Samdari]

Odd, an FOFC thread that starts with boobs as the topic and gets dragged off topic. Isn't is normally the other way around?

I don't know what song you are referring to, but we have Kids Bop 1 - 6 and I don't have a problem with any of the songs on there. In places they have changed words, kind of like a radio edit, and my son sings along to most of them...but as you said, to each their own :)

[timmynausea]

Trust me, man, we know what it was like when Innis had his kids and we're not gonna, we're not gonna do that to you."


Just so I can be the ultimate David Cross nerd for the day: that should be Ennis as in John Ennis from Mr. Show.

[lighthousekeeper]

huh, i always thought it was "jet black stare", not "get back stare". good thing my mom didn't hear it, or it'd be all over the internets.

[Passacaglia]

That David Cross CD is awesome.

[jeff061]

Agreed, that disc is the best comedy out there since Hicks.

"Before I leave today I'd just like to say I hate ........"

Wait a second. They actually play music on MTV? Since when?

[Mustang]

Along the same Here are a few items from someone I know...

1. Song comes on the radio.

Person: "Oh, Scooby Dooby song, could you turn that up, I like that."
Me: "The what??"
Person: "Scooby Dooby"
Radio: Chorus of an Ashlee Simpson song hits - "Stupid Cupid, stop picking on me..."
Me: Blank Stare

2. Just sold an item on Ebay to someone in London and the buyer wrote back asking about where to send payment and such.. person was over shoulder reading..

Person: "That the buyer?"
Me: "Ya, he is overseas. London area.."
Person: "His English is pretty good.."
Me: Blank Stare

3. Person went to store, while there they called me to tell they didn't have the brand of beer I had requested.

Person: "They don't have that.. they only have Munchey beer.."
Me: Munchey? What the hell is Munchey beer"
Person: "I don't know.. just says Munchey"
Me: (Oh no I think..). "Spell it please"
Person: "M - U - N - C - H - E - N" Munchey beer..."

[BigJohn&TheLions]

Don't know the song, don't care to either. But I'm with the kid here... I like big black boobs!

You stole the words right out of my keyboard.


It's Not Funny is definitely funny, but it doesn't even come close to touching "Shut Up, You Fucking Baby". "I don't know, faggot"

While i think bothe albums are great, i think It's Not Funny is funnier from start to finish.. "You want to know what's hard? Talking your girlfriend into her third consecutive abortion. Yeah. That takes finesse."

[jeff061]

David Cross, the man who has a theory that god kills children in order to molest them in heaven. Truly one of the greatest minds of the past decade ;).

Hmm, this thread has gone off topic.
