Kids. Music. Beyond Bad!!

So i do a little deejaying on the side and i have played for several dances at the school where my mom works. So sometimes the kids give me lists of songs that they want to hear. Sometimes it's a good dance where alot of the kids will dance and sometimes it's mostly the girls. It's 6th, 7th & 8th grade. They also slow dance like robots (it's pretty funny to watch). Anyway, I played this song, "Chain Hang Low by Jibbs. (He's a young rapper maybe 16 yrs.) The kids screamed like they just met Shaun Cassidy. (Oh wait, that's who I would've screamed for) so anyway they begin to sing the little rap on top of their lungs. It's a catchy tune, "May your chain hang low, let it wobble to the flo', does it shine in the light, is it platinum or gold" to a familiar tune. blah blah blah...They kept coming up to me and saying, can you play all these sexual type of songs. Did i mention this was a Catholic school as well? This week the big requester is, "This is the Way I Live" by Baby Boy da Prince. Oh my god. This song absolutely sucks! It's probably one of the worst songs I have ever heard. The guy sounds like he's barely opening his mouth. But yes I will play it because I found a clean version on the internet. I am always weary of playing the clean version of songs as well. You always can hear a little bit of whatever was supposed to be cut out. I always tell my freinds that a bunch of us should get together and put out a song. Almost anyone these days is cutting a record. There are so many untalented singers making songs that kids become immune to how terrible the music actually is. Thank god for people like Jack Johnson, Ben Folds and Guster. I love you and I always will. You guys are my savior! If I am having a bad day, I turn you on and remember the good times. Of course I love other music but that would be way too many to mention. But you 3 are my true faves. Thank you for being there!
