Forcing my fetus to listen to cbat. Fuck you little shit. You going to hate me, ill give you something to hate me for!
I was singing to my daughter when she was around that age and told me to stop singing. I asked why and she told me, because you can’t
That’s not a song that should be sung to kids
People should sing whatever songs they want to their kids. Kids understand that the lyrics aren’t necessarily supposed to be taken literally or even applied to them; kids just like the attention and how relaxing it is to listen to the most comforting voices they know sing songs that they love.
My wife sang our kids “You Are My Sunshine” and “Puff the Magic Dragon.” I sang them love songs, break-up songs, songs about death, and everything in between. The only difference in our day-to-day life and personalities is that they are developing great taste in music and that I spent much more time singing to them than I would have had I been bored to tears singing “appropriate” songs.
Me: you are my sunshine…
My kid: I’m a star?! That makes no sense, what even is your stupid song.
And moreover, I’m YOUR star? What is this capitalist bullshit, should everyone have their own star now, can’t we just share 1 absurdly massive pile of hydrogen? Damnit, wish I was born in the East. Bunch of loonatics here.
Meanwhile in the East - What te fuck mom… WHO do you say is our frickin’ star…?
I’ve only ever heard the first part sung. The second verse being sad feels more like a fun fact to me than anything.
The third verse seems like a thinly veiled threat to me:
I’ll always love you and make you happy,
If you will only say the same,
But if you leave me to love another,
You’ll regret it all some day.
Damn, that song is vicious and exactly what a baby needs to hear to be ready for the world.
It’s clearly about romantic love. Don’t think that’s right
