Listen up everybody if you wanna take a chance.
Just get on the floor and do the New Kids dance.
Don’t worry ’bout nothing cause it won’t take long.
We’re gonna put you in a trance with a funky song.

If this really happens, I plan to be there. I might even break out the Aqua Net for the occasion.

We’re in the car, listening to Wilco’s “Sky Blue Sky.” Usually we listen to “Shake It Off” or “Either Way” repeatedly, per Poppy’s request. This time, though, we make it all the way to “Hate It Here” without a request for “one more time” on her favorites. About halfway through the song, a little giggle erupts from the back of the van.

“I like this song, too!” my little music critic exclaims. “This is a great song!”
