Music for Young Ears

[dotinthesky]

My 10-year-old cousin wanted to hear songs that I like because she doesn't know anything other than Brasil's style of country music (Sertaneja). So I played her Alkaline Trio's "Don't Say You Won't" (got a bounce and some air guitar) followed by a-Ha's "Take on Me" (excitement).

I'm now going to show her some music videos and ask her to rate them from 0 to 10. First three up are:

- A-ha's "Take on Me"
- The Cure's "In Between Days"
- The Smiths' "Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before"

Which videos do you think she MUST see? Is the PG rated version of Gaga's "Telephone" appropriate?

She gave "Take on Me": 9.7 out of 10
and she gave Luan Santana's "Meteoro (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8gZgs72kwc)": 1000 out of 10

I still think Take on Me is the best video ever made.
