Yes, I know.
A a youngster, there must have been plenty of tunes that my parents were driven crazy by as we repeatedly played them, but I swear to goodness, the ones the kids play now, are pure rubbish, noise, not music or melody, and even shouting on occasion!
I am going to list five that they have played recently, ones that really get my goat, and I end up wanting to bury my head in the ground.
1 – The first is the latest one that Lil Princess has discovered. It is entitled Yodelling Kid and started out as a random video of a child yodelling in Walmart of all places. Since becoming infamous there have been countless remixes, and I am now faced with a yodelling kid of my own! Seriously annoying!
2 – The Yah Yah Yah Song… Listen to the lyrics… I’m sure you’ll get why it kills me…
3 – Dobre Brothers – You Know You Lit – I can’t explain how I want to shake the first singer, no expression… but it’s strangely addictive too… STOP LISTENING RITU! COME BACK TO US! It’s one of those so bad it’s good songs…
4 – KSI – Lamborghini – is this called Grime? One of Lil Man’s songs…
I just don’t get it….
and last but not least…
5 – Taco Song – The TEN HOUR version! Yes seriously, my son, Lil Man thinks this is a great song to game to! TEN HOURS!
Apologies if you end up with some really BAD ear-worms because of me… but I have to suffer this daily. And they say Sharing is Caring, and you all know how caring I am!

The first one and last one are the only ones I consider music. The rest are just noise especially the one that really doesn’t have words. The first one is annoying though. The taco song is cute but not for 10 hours.
