"You give me that funny feeling in my tummy…"

So, today in the car, on a mundane trip home from the grocery store, my three year old pipes up from his carseat in the back:

“MAMA. May I have the Rollercoaster song, PWEEEEAASSEEE?!?”
Yes…he meant RHCP: Love Rollercoaster. (now playing over there —> )
And yes, he can sing along with the chorus, the “ooh, ooh, ooh, oooh oooohs” AND the “one, two, one two three” parts.

*sigh*

As if that wasn’t enough to plaster a stupid grin on my face, next he asked for:

“The Woo Hoo song, Mama…the Woo Hoo song!”
Oh, yes. He meant Blur: Song 2
Polite kid that he is, he LOVES the “pleased to meet you” part, and sings along with gusto.

To complete my afternoon o’ happiness, he finished his set request with:

“Mer’yun Toast Burning, Mama! C’mon!”
Seriously. My son LOVES Beat Soup: Miriam, You Toast is Burning .
Asks for it over and over and over.
At three, he’s into obscure ska. I friggin’ LOVE it!
(You’ll need to stop the music player to the right to start this youtube. Not the greatest – the album version is much better, but it’s all I could find on the web.)


Am I a proud Mama? Ohhhh, yes.
He may not have any idea what the “Wheels on the Bus” do when he gets to Pre-School, but I don’t consider that any great loss…heh.
