My son loves to change the radio in the car to “his station.” I love music – but I don’t necessarily understand or appreciate “his station.” I do tend to sing along and make up my own words. My daughter finds this humorous, I think my son does too – but he acts more embarrassed.
During one song I started to sing put put my ham in the trunk – he laughed said Dad “she’s saying Whip my hair back and forth.” Then he told me about the song by Will Smith’s daughter Willow Smith.
When arrived at work, I saw this in my newsfeed:
I’m a Fan of both Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen – so I had to check this out
At first glance I did not realize that was not Neil Young. Suddenly I heard what he was singing – it was the same song – Whip My Hair – and that wasn’t Neil Young, but Jimmy Fallon – joined by 1970′s version of The Boss. Seeing Bruce doing a parody of of himself only makes me respect him more. Being able to hear a song my son likes, performed by Neil & Bruce – not sure it’s priceless, but it’s pretty damn funny.
This morning I tried to play both videos for my daughter – she loved Willow’s version and just that the other was sort of boring.
Awesome
