So I'm sitting here at the computer, cranking out a bit of work and a few emails, with the TV on Nickelodeon in the background. I'm not really paying much attention to the tele until I hear what sounds like a bunch of kids singing Beyonce's super catchy song "Crazy in Love." Sure enough, there is a compilation CD being hawked called "Kid Bop" or something stupid like that, featuring, you guessed it, a bunch of kids singing the latest pop hits. "Crazy in Love," "Hey Ya," and "Here Without You" are just a few of the songs on the CD. I cannot imagine ever letting Bailey listen to such hideosity. If she's going to hear someone sing "Shake it like a polaroid picture" it's going to be me, or Ice Cold Andre 3000. And yes, I do sing "Hey Ya" to Bailey. I might even do it while helping her stand up and shake her poopymaker. It's quite adorable actually.
(Disclaimer: I have not slept since 5:30 yesterday afternoon.)

Also, I've had about 3 hours of sleep in the last 48 hours.
You've never seen the "Kids Bop" CDs? There are like 20 of them out now and they have their own website. It's quite hillarious some of the songs they sing are not meant to be for kids and they have no clue what they mean (I still don't know what "Hey Ya" is about).
Although, I'm still waiting for Punk Kids Bop... there's nothing like a bunch of children singing "Where Eagles Dare".

Hey Ya, has an explicit version as well from OutKast, what got me started thinking. Most of the songs are pretty harmless. I just check whats on them before my kids bounce around to them.
