When in Toy Kingdom, one would notice that the music being played there are usually current songs being sung by kids or other people who may or may not by the employees of SM. Now I usually wouldn't mind it. I mean it's weird to hear a real bad version of a song I may like, but ever since MYMP became popular, that is no longer a unfamiliar incident.

But last Saturday the song being played just really made me raise my eyebrows. I started to wonder if the guys who actually decide what songs they should play there have actually listened to those songs or thought real hard if a particular song is appropriate for children ears.

The song: Baby Got Back.

The song was part of a 80's medley therefore was not played out in full. It was thankfully cut before the word 'sprung' was uttered but uhm...hello I really think the lyrics 'I like big butts and I cannot lie' were just as damaging if not more. Kids would probably know what the word 'butts' mean and have no idea what 'sprung' is. But regardless of what section of song they played, the point is that they should not have included that in the playlist.

Why the fuck am I concerned about a simple song? Usually I usually wouldn't give a flying fuck but now that our little critter is picking up random words and repeating them, I'd really prefer if she not pick up those words as part of her vocab arsenal at this early age. Not to mention the fact that since I'm the more potty mouthed aunt, I am likely to be blamed for it.
