So I wake up this morning to the sound of Aqua.http://tinypic.com/5eagyr
Two of my sons are jumping on the bed singing “I’m a Barbie girl”. OK so I’m not really concerned but my hubby says they are totally going to be teh gay.:rolleyes: Out of the hundreds of CD’s in my house why Aqua. I am definitely getting this on tape so I can embarrass the heck out of them in the future. Is it strange that my six year old boys favorite song is Barbie girl?

They are either gay or Danish.
I'm not sure which is worse.

I'm gay and I hate that song.
Your son is actually a satanist. Get help immediately.

I'd be more concerned if they proclaim appreciation of fuchsia or mauve...

What the hell is Aqua? I thought you mean they liked MacOS X from the title.

The singer is pretty cute:

Let's just assume that is the source of their interest, and never speak of this again.

Didn't you say in another thread that Agua makes you throw up? If so, are you sure he's really your son?

So, hold on...
You're concerned that they like a terrible, horrible CD that... you... own?
Take the kids and move out, leave the CD. Then burn the house. Then burn the ashes again. Then burn whatever burned the ashes and send everything into the heart of the sun.
What's wrong with you?
Who actually owns Aqua?

The Bus would recommend The Who, but no songs in particular! :D

Clearly TracerBullet and wendersfan need to either trade musical tastes or trade penises.

Surely with a user name like that he'd recommend Magic Bus (I want it .. I want it .. I want it .. I want it ...).

The CD is mine I was probably around 19 when it came out. Plus I'm a girl.

I used to really enjoy Erasure, and still do some times. I never caught teh gay, so I would worry about it.
Now if they think they have to touch weiners to have a baby.......

I'll admit that I really like that Aqua CD. The music is fun and happy, and it always puts me in a good mood. It makes sense to me that it is the sort of stuff that kids would like.
I don't think it's strange or faggy at all.
But the videotaping is a perfect idea.

Put in the Venga Boys....they're much less annoying to have your kids listen to all day.

I own both the Aqua CDs and I've made most of their songs into ringtones for my phone. People that work for me used to bitch about Aqua when I would bring in the CDs but even they have to admit that when our kitchen is getting pounded during a dinner rush the upbeat music can really help you move a bit faster.
The female lead singer from the band went on to make another CD. It must not of sold well because the website for it hasn't been updated in ages but it was kinda the same style of music but not as sickly sweet.

Clearly TracerBullet and wendersfan need to either trade musical tastes or trade penises.My musical tastes are quite catholic. There's literally no genre of music I'm familiar with that I don't like at least some examples of it. Besides, "Barbie Girl" is a cute, catchy tune. It's not exactly something I'd listen to every day, but it's fine "driving with the top down" music, as is "School Days" by Chuck Berry and the first movement of Beethoven's <i>Pastorale</i> Symphony... :)

I'd be much more concerned if he loved "The Final Countdown" and started asking for magic trick kits for Christmas.
See? I'm not the only one. There's no reason to like Aqua. Vengaboys at least are so unbelievably kitschy (and honestly serious about their work) that it becomes hilarious (listen to the lyrics of "Superfly Slick"). But to be honest, I only know one other straight guy that likes them.

Sir, turn in your Good Taste in Music card immediately. We are cutting it up. It's OK to like Aqua. It is not OK to compare them to Beethoven.
And you bastards, I would recommend The Who's The Seeker, okay? Geez. :)

Announcer: Do you suffer from inexplicable anxiety?
Are you confused and upset?
Do you have an overwhelming feeling that you've done something wrong?
{ dissolve into flashback of Boy #1 twirling a baton in an empty gym }
Boy #1: Hi, Dad! This is called a Double Susie!
Announcer: You can't control whatever he is or isn't. But you can control how it affects you. Homocil can provide relief for parental anxiety disorder. Homocil can help.
{ show Boy #2 running effeminately with a volleyball at a school gym}
Boy #2: Hi, Mommy!
{ Mom waves back weakly, her eyes to the floor in shame }
Announcer: If you're obsessed about things you can't change.. If you are unable to cope with unforeseen developments..
{ Dad #2 opens Boy #3's bedroom, to find his son holding up a sparkly tank top }
Boy #3: Look what I made! Isn't it fabulous!
{ Dad #2 closes door and breaks down in a sobbing mess in the hallway }
Announcer: If you avoid prolonged contact with your children, due to these overwhelming anxieties..
{ Boy #4 enters living room wearing apron, holding out a platter of food }
Boy #4: Who wants crème brûlée?
{ Dad #3 grabs the bottle of Homocil pills and chugs it down. He chases the pills with a bottle of Budweiser.}
Announcer: When taken regularly, Homocil dramatically decreases parental anxiety.
{ shows boys playing basketball; cuts to Boy #4 performing as a male cheerleader amongst female cheerleaders }
{ cut to Dad in the crowd smiling painfully and near-catatonic, giving a forced thumbs-up to his kid }
Announcer: Homocil. Until you come around.
{ show Mom hugging Boy #2 }
Because it's your problem. Not theirs.

I think it makes sense that a kid would like them. It's silly cartoony pop music. In a year or two they'll listen to the lyrics and hang their head in shame, but for now I don't think it's a big deal. I mean, what should 6-year olds be listening to?

Bingo. It's called Bubblegum music for a reason. Catchy, happy tunes tailored for jumping up and down on a bed. Introduce them to Abba Gold.

You think that their interest in a song about a slutty girl getting some action means they could be gay (or your husband does??) I don't know....it could be healthy. And I could see the song appealing more to kids than adults. It's fun, like kids songs should be.
If in doubt, make flash cards of the band members. If they get more excited over the guys, you may have a problem!
