I am sorry but I have no friggin sympathy. If I have to watch Top Gun one more time I think I will blow up the TV. I think I could handle it if it were my child, but this is a grown man who has inflicted this onslaught since this movie was made. He must feel the need to re-live his F-14 days from the Navy. It must make him feel like he’s young again and flying through the sky. It’s not the music so much that gets me. It’s that toothy grin on Tom Cruise.

Hilarious. I spent 7 months having to listen to Gwen Stefani’s “Rich Girl” (referred to as “Na na Girl”) 187 times a day. But it has now been replaced, because my 5 year old is currently obsessed with Lady GaGa. As soon as we get in the car she begs to hear “Poker Face”, and let me tell you there’s nothing like hearing your 5 year old little girl singing “I’ll get him hot, show him what I’ve got” at the top of her lungs.

I have a 5 year old daughter who was very into the Doodlebops from the time she was 18 mo. until she was about 4. Queen Deedee needs to go choke on a bag of D**ks. We then switched to Hannah Montana. A bit more bearable since she has millions of songs. My son, who is 18 months, however, has taken a liking to the “Who said?” and “Best of Both Worlds” songs that his sister’s Hannah Montana Barbie sings. He steals her doll, which is usually naked, so maybe that’s why he enjoys it so much, and repeatedly hits the button on Hannah’s naked belly which results in her singing just the chorus of each song. He does this for 15 minutes at a time, about 4-8 times a day. If you try to take Hannah, he screams for 45 minutes, as does his sister b/c she suddenly decides that she must play with her. Why is it that the battery in my cell phone, the baby monitors, I-pods, and flashlights go dead after 5 minutes of use, but Hannah’s never die?

I avoided the Danger Zone by teaching my kids inappropriate songs about killing Barney and ensuring that they could quote the entire Princess Bride movie, which still amuses me 15 years later, for some reason.

I have a hereditary hearing deficit for which I have worn bilateral hearing aids for several years.

We were driving to visit my son, wife and their 4 young children. During the first mile, my wife asked if I had forgotten my hearing aids.

I replied ‘no.’ She opened her mouth to ask why I wasn’t wearing them, thought again about our destination and then lapsed into what I can’t only infer was a jealous silence.

Too funny!! I’m 46 and now have a 3 yr old who’s big thing is Handy Manny. Every thing we do and everywhere we go it’s Handy Manny! He has to sing the song, read one of the books, “watch tools”, “watch Manny”…and my son has a developmental delay which makes him want to parrot everything…repeatedly…over and over and over! I seriously wonder if he does it sometimes just to screw with my head. I think he’s one of those evil genius toddlers…lol. I swear if I watch one more episode of Handy Manny, I’ll know how to repair more crap around the house than Ty Pennington could ever fix!
It makes me miss the good old days with my daughter when she was 2 (19 years ago) her big thing was the B-52’s “Love Shack”. She’d just randomly start belting out the song, in school, in church, in the store…’wuv shack babeee, wuv shack baby!’ Try explaining that to her teacher or pastor…lol!

So I read this the other day, and now Kenny Loggins seems to be popping up everywhere. Thanks so much. I’ve heard “Danger Zone” twice on the radio in two days. But wait, there’s more! I was minding my own business with the kids watching “Imagination Movers.” (Is it sad that I actually think they’re pretty hip? But I digress.) At the end, this scary looking guy sitting in a ginormous red chair is singing some nonsense about a caterpillar and a mountain that may or may not be there…and then I realize it’s Kenny Loggins. Nooooo!

I have this same problem with Darth Vader’s Theme from Empire Strikes Back, of all things. If she can’t get her hands on the CD, then she wants it played on the cell phone.

For us – it was Purple Rain, or Poople Wain, Poople Wain. From 18 months until about age 3. Every time we were in the car. On repeat. We were standing in the Poople Wain.

I read this last night, then let my 9 & 13 year old sons read it. They in turn told their brother, 8, and sister 3 1/2. For the past 24 hours they have all been singing “HIGHWAY DO DA ANGEE OWN!!”

Make it stop…please…make it stop.

Perhaps you should introduce him to the soothing sounds of Kenny Rogers instead?

Dude…we have this really cute rockin CD of Saturday Morning Cartoon songs sung by cool bands like the Ramones (spider man) and most horridly of all, Josie and the Pussycats sund by Juliana Hatfield and Tanya Donnely. Two awesome cool singers and the song is really fun. The first 200 times you hear it. My daughter who is 3 insists upon it every fucking car ride. Over and over. I rarely relent but then I listen to her scream and whlne about it while I say really parenty type things like, “I don’t hear you when you don’t use your nice asking voice” or “I will have to turn off the radio altogether if you don’t stop screaming because we can’t listen to you whine and the songs.”

In this case, I have only myself to blame. We try to avoid any kid type music because much of it makes me want to gauge out my eyes. We are close friends with the kid band Milkshake so they are the only concession. It is my fault. I know it. Aside from serious intended infliction of head injury..what do you suggest I do to her to make it stop?

Hi Wendy!

Awesome Awesome blog! You're about as funny as I wish I could bit with your dry sarcastic humour. I am an instant fan, and have subscribed to your blog!

Just incase you were wondering, I found your site by Googling your name after I received your letter to James Thatcher via email from my friend in the UK. Toooooo funny and sooooo true!

Anyhoo... Just thought I'd let you know that you are now world famous!

I have limitless sympathy for your situation. My sister’s first son also suffered from Loggins Syndrome. It’s unfortunate that more moms don’t speak up because they’ll never fund research until the silent epidemic is unleashed. Unfortunately, my sister had developed an immunity to the disease, one that can only be acquired by a mother whose sole planetary purpose is to encourage her son’s dog and pony show. She even went so far as to name her next-born son, Maverick. You can call her if you don’t believe me. References provided upon request.

I, on the other hand, have an 8 year old daughter who got her hands on a copy of a song, lovingly entitled, “Smack That Ass.” It gives the term “danger zone” a whole new meaning. It makes me almost gooey for the Kenny Days. I even found myself using words like “love” to describe my fondness for him. To which my daughter sassily replies, “Like you want to marry him?”

The current favorite is “I Can’t Drive 55″ by Sammy Hagar. Every. Single. Day. I may have to switch my 20 year loyalty back to David Lee Roth.

This happened with my now 16-year old son, only it was the GoGos “We Got The Beat.” If I ever see Jane Weidlin, I’d punch her; but she’d probably enjoy it.
