I am desperately trying to reclaim the music in my car, but have met with formidable opposition from the Pre-K and under set. Instead of fighting them, I am trying to shape their musical preferences to mirror mine, so I can once again listen to decent music in the car (although dad would claim that was debatable). At any rate, they are now lukewarm Modest Mouse fans and rabid They Might Be Giants junkies. So, I have now brought out the big guns and have started to introduce the Beatles!
I've been proceeding slowly as I don't want to mess this one up (and risk never being able to hear the Beatles in my car again); we have not yet progressed past Revolver. Generally, this is not a bad place to be, but the girls are fixated on five songs and five songs only. We hear "And Your Bird Can Sing," "For No One," and "Got to Get You Into My Life" intermittently, but they have two favorites that we hear OVER and OVER and OVER again. Not surprisingly to anyone who has ever had to wake her up in the morning, the Moo's very favorite song is "I'm Only Sleeping." And our little psychedelic Bean now knows all the words to the ultimate Beatles-for-kids anthem "Yellow Submarine" . . . as do we all!
