The other day, Hayden and I were driving to the grocery store. I turned on the radio to the oldies station—right at the very beginning of “We Will Rock You.” We reached the grocery store before the song was over, so naturally we had to sit in the car and finish “We Are the Champions.” Then a day or two later, it was “Eye of the Tiger.” And on the way home, “Mony, Mony.”
Aside from all the important, responsible things I need to make sure Hayden learns, now I realize I have all these silly incidental things that I have to teach him so he can attend sporting events, follow conversations, spontaneously burst into song and otherwise become a productive adult (or at least fit in with my family).
So, what songs do you think fit on this list? So far, I’ve come up with:
- Take Me Out to the Ball Game
- We Will Rock You/We Are the Champions
- Eye of the Tiger
- Mony, Mony
- Flower of Scotland, should we ever attend a football game there. (Hey, it’s a possibility.)
- Takin’ Care of Business
- Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye
What else?
