Please take note that I am a daycare worker and I hear what you are saying...\n\nI think that the lack of children's music in our society could be corrected, but only if people want to correct it.\n\nLook at it this way:\n\nI think that there should be a kids radio station.  We have channels on TV that are specific to just children for the better half of the day; we have childrens CD's that have just children's songs on them; we have movies that are just for children as well.  They are starting to come out with more things like a child's personal CD player.  But we also have a DVD player that just hooks up in the car.\n\nReading just what I put up there just goes to show that it's way easier to plunk a child in front of a visual product than just a listening product.  Children are more entertained by what they see than by what they hear.\n\nThere are so many points that could be brought to argument like infants liking music b/c they don't understand TV, children learning listening and memorization skills from music instead of just mindlessly watching a TV... etc, but a majority of the time, if you give the child the option between listening to music and watching a movie, they will probably choose the movie.  Sometimes, if you give YOURSELF the option, you would much rather put a movie on than listen to, "mom, i don't like/know this song.  change it."  And then you have the whole issue of listening to the same damn song over and over and over.  You get that with movies, but at least they are longer than the average 3 minutes!!\n\nMovies these days are getting better and better b/c there are more songs in a movie that a child will learn to recognize so that once they hear it on a CD, they will know where it came from.  If you flip it so that the child heard it only on the radio for a while and then heard the song in a movie, they would probably know the words, but could only sometimes tell you where the song came from other than "mommy's car."  For example: a child i used to work with LOVED Toy Story.  I played a few songs from the Toy Story movie before he even saw the movie.  He didn't even really acknowlege the music until after he had seen the movie.  "Hey! Buzz Lightyear!"\n\nThe point I am trying to get across is that it's been proven that children learn from visuals and playing.  Music can help aid in the learning, but it doesn't directly aid in the development in an expansive way.

Her name is Laurie Berkner.\n\nHer DVD's and stuff can be found here.  http://www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref=br_ss_hs/002-0207397-4903227?platform=gurupa&url=index%3Dblended&keywords=laurie+berkner\n\nAlso, her music is available for download on iTunes.\n\nAnd for all naysayers, Laurie Berkner has absolutely fantastic children's music.  Far better than most.  Anyone who bags on her can just shut the hell up.

Isn't that a Helloween song? They were like Judas Preist if I am correct. That's the only reason I can see it being under music.

Consider the audience. As Children age, they go through stages of cognitive development. What is literal and makes sense to a child may clearly be a fallacy for an adult. \n\nFor that reason, I think explict music should not be played over easily accesable airwaves. I have no problem with these lyrics per se, having several titles within my own collection that are, for example, overly violent, expicitly sexual, or deal with heavy, dark themes. But if we are in fact a civilized society, we do have an obligation to censor some of the more adult themes out of the general public.\n\nFor those of us who don't understand my viewpoint; I understand the co-existance of public behavior and private behavior.

Xp... maybe it has something to do with the fact that a 10 year old wrote it... and your picturing some 10 year old screaming HELP!!! while running around in circles and yelling incoherent, crappily put together sentences, about how he wants to know what that one 50 cent song is...

i'd have to agree with one of the other people that said, not all people like this song but, one reason might be because the human brain like's to find the pattern in things.  such a repetitive and catchy hook makes your mind sort of...um..record and play back very easily??? i need to go to bed, i'm losing it!

I like it, but it gets stuck in my head (though it doesn't help that they play it every five minutes when I'm in Walmart)

Yes I have...great song...and everytime I have to go off to sea, my kid plays that song. Because its the facts. One day we are living as a father and a husband and brother so on and so forth...and once you get a "call" or whatever it may be..that changes everything and you have to go do what you have to do regardless. Its a job. Its a life. Its your way of life.

When you have five kids that watch Disney movies ALL the time, I can name a few: fantasia, Aladdin, the little mermaid, lion king, Bambi, dumbo, Pinocchio, pochohauntas, peter pan, Cinderella, snow white, beauty and the beast. I know a ton more, but I think that The best songs are a whole new world, kiss the girl, can you feel the love tonight, colors of the wind, baby mine, and beauty and the beast.\n\nI think it is so cute, all my kids know all the songs word for word! We listen to the Disney sing along in the car and watch movies every night.

I have a co-worker who listens to some abysmal radio station that plays that song every five minuets. It sounded horrible the 1st time. Now that I have heard it about 8 million times, it sounds like hell itself has opened up and is trying destroy my soul. \nOh, and whoever sings that "I want to go home" song needs to be stabbed in the neck with a screwdriver.

That's called "The ago of Innocence isn't it?"; I also believe we live in a society were singing artist's should watch what they say in their lyrics, today's teenagers swear too much yet come from well oiled backgrounds they listen to music or watch soap drama's on the TV and all you get is the "F" word and this is before the 9 o'clock watershed.\n\nAs with your little toddler it is the age of innocence, he clearly knows it's wrong to say the f word yet too young to understand how to get the message across so that you know he knows without saying it, and you can't punish him either as it was in all innocence...\n\nOn a funny note, I couldn't stop laughing as it brought back untold memories of my children's calamities of yesteryear's and their little outbursts, Thanks for sharing the moment.
