Four year old Ben has an opinion about everything. Sometimes I amuse myself by playing him songs and asking what he thinks of them. Today I'll share his reactions to some 80's songs that came on the radio.
Song: Missing You by John Waite
Me: Ben, do you like this song?
Ben: No
Me: Why not?
Ben: I don't like it. It's not good music.
Me: What about it don't you like?
Ben: Everything. It's a bad song. I said to you already that I don't like it. I wish you would stop this song.
Song: Sweet Dreams by Eurythmics
Me: Ben, do you like this song?
Ben: No
Me: Why not?
Ben: The music part, hear that? It doesn't sound good. And that lady? I think it's a lady singer? She has bad singing.
Me: So you don't like it at all?
Ben: I don't like the music parts and I don't like the singing parts. It's, the whole thing, it's not a nice song.
Song: Down Under by Men at Work
Me: Ben, do you like this song?
Ben: Yes
Me: Why? What do you like about it?
Ben: The singing is good and the rest of the sound of it I like. I hear drums and this other sound I like but I don't know what it is.
Me: Do you mean the flute?
Ben: I already said that I don't know what it is.
Song: Rosanna by Toto
Ben (doing finger-pointing dance): I like this song! I really like this song!
Me: You do? Why do you like it so much?
Ben: Two reasons: one because of the good singing and two because of the music
Me: Cool! What do you think this song is about?
Ben: This part tells me what it's about.
Me: Which part? The "Meet you all the way" part?
Ben: You know which part.
Me: So you know what the song is about?
Ben: Yes, I know everything about this song.
Me: What is it about?
Ben: I'm not telling you.
I'd love to hear his review of I am Woman!
ReplyDeleteI am working on another post of him being a music critic. We aren't getting to I am Woman this time, but maybe soon. My guess is he won't like it. He tends to prefer male singers. *sigh*
DeleteLOL. ; ).
