PARENTAL ADVISORY

So I was outside the stadium at the NFL Experience ("The Official NFL Experience of the Super Bowl") which is where you, the Ordinary Fan, can experience what it's like to be a real NFL player by throwing a football, kicking a football, beaking Joe Theisman's leg like a pretzel, etc. There were many kids in Colts and Bears jerseys running around, and it was all very wholesome, except for the music blasting over the PA system, which was a woman proudly singing:

My humps! My humps!
My lovely lady lumps!

At least that's what it sounded like she was singing. Is that a real song? Does the NFL ("The Official NFL of the NFL") know about it?

It's a song from the Black Eyed Peas. "My Humps"

[AFKAT]

FIRST to admit I have no idea what that song could possibly be...

[AFKAT]

*ahem*....or not...

[Cretin]

The song was also made popular by one Alan Kalter: http://youtube.com/watch?v=tUPpcA8Eapw

[CJrun]

Forty seventeenth to find out there is, indeed, such a song and it has something to do with Black Eyed Peas and the Olson twins.

[Beppie]

That is indeed a real song for the whole family to enjoy.

[Beppie]

Well, actually, that is a good song to teach your young daughter to sing. It's about "Hey, slob, you can look, but don't touch!" in much more crass terms than that, granted, but hey, it gets the point across.

[crossgirl]

not only is it a real song, it has a such a catchy tune with such simple words that first graders across the nation can sing it straight through along with the gwen stefani banana song. sure miss the old days when kids just sang along to clapton's "cocaine".

[Bo]

My wife is a figure skater. We know an 11-year-old whose parents are letting her ice-skate to this song. Sigh.

[Marceita]

What time is Billy Joel going to sing the National Anthym? I am ready to turn the TV off!

Dave,
As game time draws closer, you might want to be on the lookout for the world-famous (at least in Chicago) Man in the Bear Suit, who happens to be at the game with my brother-in-law, Mike.

I just learned that they have already had their picture taken with Chicago's Mayor Daley and been interviewed by Bif from the David Letterman Show. So they are clearly big enough celebrities by now to warrant coverage by the Blog, presuming you see them. No Parental Advisory required.

I've always wanted to teach my 4 year old nieces (to whom Mr. Barry has authographed several books) Jimmy Buffet's classic "Why Don't We Get Drunk and Screw."

[crossgirl]

the first song my middle one ever learned was queen's "fat bottom girls". i was so proud.

[Suzy Q]

BIG SNORK at crossgirl for "cocaine."

[Beppie]

NOthing is more embarassing than going to Karaoke and hearing you dad's rendition of "Why Don't We Get Drunk And Screw". Enough said.

[CJrun]

*snork* @ cg.

Waves @ Mary. Wouldn't you know she'd show up on a thread about dirty song lyrics? We're gonna need a bigger Sharpie!

[crossgirl]

hey there, maybe you better have your kids explain thet song to you....

[judi]

EMERGENCY. my daughter has the book i wanted to read tonight. AT HER HOUSE. which is not near mine. what can i do?!

she keeps stealing her books and then i want to read them. i'm very disappointed in her.

speaking of parenting and all.

[marytheblogkidsmom]

CJ -- Whenever I see the term "parental advisory" I feel it is my moral obligation to learn about whatever it is I'm supposed to be protecting my children from.

*Waves back, Sharpie in hand.*

[Edgar Greenberg]

Weird, really weird. Bet it's a real earworm. I'd stay far away from anyone singing it.

[Steve (The 24 Guy)]

Judi, inform her that you'd like to have her over for a visit. Oh, and to bring the book too.

[CJrun]

Judi; order a pizza for her, then have the driver pick up the book when he's there. Then order a pizza for you!

[Steve (The 24 Guy)]

I like CJRun's plan better

[OtheU(manity)]

CW music alert:

My oldest niece knew the words (and always sang along with Johnny Holm) to Lightnin' Bar Blues when she wuz four years old ... I wuz so proud!

Judi - Call 911. Have her arrested. Post her bail only after you retrieve your private library from her domicile ... nah ... let her stew in jail fer a while ...

... merely sayin' ... my kids have done the same, and I've been sooooooo tempted to do merely that ...

[crossgirl]

psssst, judi, there's a big football game on tonight. you won't need a book. go retrieve it tomorrow after you raid her fridge, use her washing machine and listen to her phone messages.

[judi]

but who can watch football on tv without a BOOK?!

[Cookie]

How about the Sunday paper? That's what I'm saving it for judi.

And aren't you going to be live blogging the The Dave? And us?

[Eleanor]

Cookie is Eleanor. I can't get rid of it no matter what I try. :(

[CJrun]

El, as irony would have it, I think you have a 'cookie' issue. I had the same problem with a screen name I couldn't get rid of. You need to do a "History Erase" and get rid of your cookies/ temporary internet files. Please do not toss your cookies.

[Edgar Greenberg]

Eleanor, you can't just change your name to cookie, and expect all your problems to disappear. I could change my name to cake, but I'd still be Edgar.

[Guin]

That's the only song I have ever deleted from my daughter's iTunes. It does NOT get played in my house or in my presence, ever.

judi - maybe your local library delivers? (ha ha) Or you could try Google's beta book search - if they've scanned it you can read it online.

[Kristina L.]

Judi,

Congrats on raising a book-loving daughter, although I can see where it has its drawbacks.

[Thor]

Not only is it a real song by the Black Eyed Peas, but it was wildly - absurdly - popular last year. It has since been taken over by breakaway female singer Fergie's two huge hits: "London Bridge", which not only contains the lyrics "I'm such a lady but I'm dancin' like a ho", but has a catchy background consisting either of "Oh, snap! Oh, snap!" or something much more vulgar; and "Fergalicious", which expresses the following sentiment: "I blow kisses that put them boys on 'rock rock'." Pay attention, because someday soon Sophie will want to be her.

[Thor]

Not to bring up a years-old issue, but I think if you held the Bad Song Survey today, "My Humps" would win by a wider margin than the Colts.

[Scott Small]

All parents should get busy censoring any song that might suggest sexuality ... if you disallow it in your home, your kids will NEVER be exposed to it anywhere else. Prevent them from any exposure and they'll NEVER develop sexual curiosity -- they can stay virgins till they marry or even longer! Plus, if they should ever come across such brain-damaging, soul-killing content on their own, they'll know to keep it secret from you. Much better that they learn any "dirty" stuff without any parental guidance or perspective!
