In high school, my buddies and I (well really just Nora, Shelby, Maria, Gottshall, & Ashley) would obnoxiously sing in the car, no matter the song, windows down, and as loud as we could. And in the vein of being a good father, I’m trying to pass these values – never be embarrassed in public to sing and dance, never be embarrassed to not the know the words to a song, make sure you laugh at yourself as much as possible – onto the kids. So far, the two big ones have their favorites, but I’m trying to expand their repertoire.<\/p>\n
Luka’s favorite is – Uptown Funk (Mark Ronson ft. Bruno Mars)<\/p>\n
Amelia’s favorite is – All I want for Christmas is You (Mariah Carey)<\/p>\n
And I added these two the list, but they’re not picking up just yet…<\/p>\n
Walking in Memphis (Marc Cohn)<\/p>\n
The Shoop Shoop Song (Cher)<\/p>\n
