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?

You have to introduce her to some Stevie Nicks!

Any particular video you'd suggest?

None of the videos are particularly great but "Stand Back" has some funky 80s dancing and "I Can't Wait" is a big power ballad cheesefest.

I'll give them a go and let you know what score she gives them.

I never watched them when I was a kid but I know I would have loved them. Then again, that was then...
