System of an AC/DC
Niall has two sets of favorite music. System of a Down — seriously, System of a Down — and the most banal set of children’s CDs that someone started calling “Children’s Music” to him. The latter are insipid, major-key jaunts on a Casio and nylon-stringed guitar, with a bad tenor and a bunch of breathy children singing the most profoundly weird songs.
I loathe them. I would have said, under other circumstances, that the producers should slip under a freight train for producing, distributing, and charging for these, but Niall really, really does like it, and sometimes likes the same song over and over again. Annoying, but not quite as annoying as his screaming his head off in the car. Usually.
One time, Jenn and I were driving along listening to one of these atrocious CDs, and I began questioning the surrealistic lyrics in progressively off-color but G-rated fashion. Jenn was laughing for a while, then chuckling. But the one that got her to snap was the following:
Song: Did you ever see a lassie, a lassie, a lassie? Did you ever see a lassie go this way and that?
Me: Is this one about a girl who goes both ways?
Jenn: STOP!
