Boinga

My mom told me she had this song in her head today. See lyrics below. If you just read it, it doesn't really do it justice 'cause the tune is cute, but I couldn't find a video for it. The song I had in my head at the time however was The Noodle Boys song which is on this random Nick Jr DVD I have featuring "The Little Buddies." I just think it's funny that my mom and usually my sister and I too, always gets these kid songs in our heads. Laurie Berkner never fails for a catchy tune and I've been known to quote Stephanie's songs on Lazytown all day and then some. And most of the time, I usually actually like the song. I don't love the cartoons so much, but I love the theme songs. I happen to love the opening for Oswald and Franklin. I don't let Griffin sit around and watch TV all day, but I'll admit there has been some days where it felt like that's all we did, and whenever there is a kid in the house, there MUST be a cartoon on sometime. It's just the norm. So, you discover which cartoons you like and don't like, and you can control it until your kid gets older and starts to voice his own opinion. Drat. (: Anyway, I could really go on and on about cartoons the same way I can with fashion and celebrity gossip, but only certain friends want to hear about just that. So, read it, it's s cute! I wonder how people come up with these things!

P.S. These lyrics say that the mom's voice is Alicia Keys and I didn't guess that, but I could see that happening. Also though, I have no clue if the person who posted this really knows either.

P.P.S. I really must say that most of the songs from The Backyardigans are really good and cute. BUT I could go without the Polka one and the Circus one.

Of all those cartoons you mentioned I don't know any of them! And its not like I'm going to see them anytime soon since we don't get any of the American cartoons here (we do get funny Hungarian ones though). Christian is going to be so out of the loop when we move back to the states!
