Lyrics for PreSchoolers
“Mommy why can’t he have a screw?”
Turning down A/C in car to hear the 4-year old…
“What honey?”
“Why can’t he get a screw, that guy?”
“What guy?”
“The guy on the song. He needs a screw. And he can’t find one.”
…thinking…thinking…listening closer to music on radio..day after day…I get angry…and I will say…OH.MY.GOD.
“So the guy singing the song???? You think he needs a screw???”
“Yeah. That’s what he said. I’m sure Daddy can get him a screw out of his tool box. Then we can give it to him and he will have a screw.”
“Suuuuurrre. We can do that…”
“OH WAIT! Its ok Mommy-he FOUND it!”
“Oh…did he?”
“Yes, he found the screw in his PANTS!”
“Good for him.”
“Why would he keep a screw in his pants? Now THAT is JUST HILARIOUS Mommy!”
Sigh

Been there, heard that… and it gets worse. Wait until they’re somewhere with a lot of people and they start singing a song they shouldnt be singing.
My stab in the dark is; ‘Why Don’t we Get Drunk and Screw’ by Jimmy Buffett.

Why can’t I get just one screw?
Why can’t I get just one screw?

I have no idea what song that was either. I didn’t realize I was so clueless about music!

I have no idea what song that is, but I’m laughing my ass off over that conversation.

What I’m getting here…is I’m the only one rocking out to Violent Femmes in my minivan….???

I am too…and worse…listen to the lyrics of Nickelback or Red Hot Chili Peppers. Not many are appropriate for kids! I have been listening to Pepper (have you heard of them? I love them!) lately and those lyrics aren’t so good for kids either. Luckily, all my kids except my youngest know not to repeat any of the lyrics.

uuhhhh…as a parental tip - how did you explain the rest of the song? The part where he becomes less subtle about what he wants…
September 5th, 2007 at 2:03 pm, Rob Says:
“No really - I’m sure you heard wrong…he’s asking why can’t he get just one DUCK!”

OH COME ON PEOPLE, you seriously don’t know what that song is?! ADD IT UP! I knew what Waffles was talking about before you even wrote down the lyrics. LOL! Good thing Rob is thinking ahead for you… giggle.

Um, I knew the song the minute I read him asking about why the guy needed a screw.
Then I started humming it.
You aren’t the only one that listens to Violent Femmes….
