The Mouths Of Babes

My kids like to sing, and it’s a wonderful thing. Though sometimes it gets a little annoying when they latch on to a single song and won’t let it go. Right now their favorite seems to be Crawling by Linkin Park. I like the song too, but 3 small children singing it over and over again is a bit much! They discovered the song in the form of a Naruto anime music video on YouTube. Earlier I’d discovered Linkin Park’s With You, also in an AMV featuring clips from Gunslinger Girl. So I bought both tracks from iTunes.

The real fun and lulz are had when kids are singing things that just don’t fit. One of my favorite AMV discovered songs is 4ever by The Veronicas which was used in a Haruhi Suzumiya music video made by AUN Studios. The kids like the video and sing the song too. But there’s something just too funny about a 6 year old singing “come on baby we ain’t gonna live forever”. LOL BTW, the media companies should take note that I bought 3 songs that I probably would never have heard of were it not for fan created music videos which exist in the grey areas of copyright law!
