From the Mouth Of Babes
Once again, I missed the trend wagon. From an article published back in January, six and seven year olds review some classic rock tunes. My personal favorite is their take on Led Zeppelin's Immigrant Song:
What the grown-ups say: "... bulldozer rhythms and Plant's double-tracked wordless vocal croonings echoing behind the main vocal like some cannibal chorus wailing in the infernal light of a savage fertility rite." (Rolling Stone)
What the kids say:
Holly: This isn't singing, it's just screaming.
Benjamin: I like the screaming.
Holly: I really like it apart from the screaming.
Ben: Is he upset?
Gabrielle: This sounds like Busted.
Sophie; It's a witch singing.
Beth: It's kind of eeeevol. I'm going to watch Lord Of The Rings Three next week.
Holly: No you're not.
Beth: Am.
Holly: Not.
Attention span: 43 seconds.
