I liked rock sort of āmehā when I was a kid, being born in 1964 a lot of it was old hippie stuff that never clicked with me like Zeppelin.
Then one day I was playing D&D at a friendās house and he played Mongoloid by DEVO. Holy shit I lost my mind. There was music out there that actually spoke to me!
As someone who was inspired to ask this question after sitting in a coffee shop that was playing the Radio Disney songs of my youth there is no judgement here
Take On Me by A-Ha, when I was four I use to beg my mom to give my change for the jukebox every time we went to the local cafe, then proceed to dance about to it, week after week.
Made all the more favorite by the fact that I listened to it in the living room, on cassette tape, and my grandmother marched over, took it out, and chastised me for listening to such filth.
Then broke hte tape with her big wooden spoon that she had on the wall.
I like big spoons and I cannot lie
Other grandmothers canāt deny
That when the kid comes in with a tape full of sin
It gets crushed, want to grind up dust
Cause you heard that the MC cussed
On the wall that the spoon is sharinā
With the room where the speakers was blarinā
Oh darling, canāt let you hear that
Canāt even let you near that
My bridge club tried to warn me
But that tape you got made me so onery
Oh little munchkin
Do you wanna play connect four once again?
Well lookie, here lookie
Does my dearie want another cookie?
Iāve seen you napping
To hell with that rapping
This house is neat, sweet
So shoes off and then wipe your feet
Iām tired of MTV
Saying hip hop is for Gs
Take the average Gran-Gran and ask her that
Do the little ones need that rap?
So Hilda (hello!), Matilda (hello!) Have grandsons found that smut? (Heavens no!)
Tell them to sit down, put milk in a cup
I think Grandmaās still got those buttercups
āMixtapeā got whacked! (Heavy spoon and a plastic shell case)

Unfortunately Im out of time and have to go meet a friend.
Iād like to save this and finish it later but Iām too sleep deprived to remember.
