You are my sunshine
(lemmy.ml)
Ahahaha. Love it
least brutal 3-year-old/freshly born.
I'm imagining toddlers growing up to hate their parents' music taste, because they already fucking hated it when they played it to them when they were a fetus in utero.
The dad hyped up "fuck yeah I'm gonna teach this kid to love Slayer because I'm playing it to him now when they're in there!". And then they hate it like "THIS IS WHAT THAT SHIT WAS, I HATED IT ALL THE FUCKING TIME, FUCK YOU!"
Like there was for a while the whole "Play Mozart/Beethoven to your kid in the womb and they'll be smarter" and shit - there's no way everyone universally likes classical music. I know several older people who don't enjoy music at all, which just seems bizarre.
It's not like every kids gonna pop out and be like "That Mozart's Requiem was some shit, man! Play it again!".
It's also a fucking dumb approach to making the kid smart anyways. You don't need a high iq to appreciate classical music, and there is nothing inherently intelligent about listening to music
There is evidence listening to music in your native language is good for language development. Probably any pop music is more educational than classical music to a baby.
I can believe that. I have an immigrant friend that learned English because of Taylor Swift
Yeah well dumb people will try dumb ways to magically make their dumb kids smart. Wicked smaht. We played them Mozart 24/7 so they'd be smaht and look at him. So smaht. And the kid grows up to be an insomniac serial killer who grew dissecting any animals they got their hands on.
Music wasn't always so easily accessible as it is now. I think really only the radio was something everyone would have access to. If you had vinyl, CDs etc then you were at least somewhat musically inclined and some folks would just not be and never really get into it or invest in getting their own music. Not that they would literally never hear or listen to music but it wasn't one of their hobbies. Compared to today where we all have access to music on demand and it would be weird if you don't have at least some preferences or something.
Young kids do not have the mental capacity to differentiate between "I learned something new" and "I always had this opinion". They are simply incapable of the former position.
There are psychology experiments with children that show this effect, it's pretty wild.
Yeah chilhood is insane and super interesting the way we process information and emotions and the weird reality we've just been dragged into.
I would sing my daughter Johnny Cash in NICU. She loves it now. Best part is the chords tend to be easy if she wants to learn to play, or if I ever want to learn LOL

Forcing my fetus to listen to cbat. Fuck you little shit. You going to hate me, ill give you something to hate me for!
I read this as "listen to chat" and decided that twitch has gone too far
Fetus listens to TTS, but I abort every time chat talks about Logan Paul
Add a thumbnail of a cut-through, sad looking Logan Paul, a dead baby, the streamer face-palming and the LOL emote. Easy 20 million views
Fucking cbat. Lmao
That's baby making music.
This is as inhumane as it is inappropriate.
Ah, new prologue to "Making a Murderer" just dropt

That's just animal abuse.
The original You Are My Sunshine had something ridiculous like 48 verses many of which have been lost and it went on for twelve minutes. Though I forget where I read that, and I can't find it again, so it may have been some kind of weird fever dream.
That's not a song that should be sung to kids
People should sing whatever songs they want to their kids. Kids understand that the lyrics aren't necessarily supposed to be taken literally or even applied to them; kids just like the attention and how relaxing it is to listen to the most comforting voices they know sing songs that they love.
My wife sang our kids "You Are My Sunshine" and "Puff the Magic Dragon." I sang them love songs, break-up songs, songs about death, and everything in between. The only difference in our day-to-day life and personalities is that they are developing great taste in music and that I spent much more time singing to them than I would have had I been bored to tears singing "appropriate" songs.
Me: you are my sunshine...
My kid: I'm a star?! That makes no sense, what even is your stupid song.
And moreover, I'm YOUR star? What is this capitalist bullshit, should everyone have their own star now, can't we just share 1 absurdly massive pile of hydrogen? Damnit, wish I was born in the East. Bunch of loonatics here.
Meanwhile in the East - What te fuck mom.. WHO do you say is our frickin' star..?
I've only ever heard the first part sung. The second verse being sad feels more like a fun fact to me than anything.
The third verse seems like a thinly veiled threat to me:
I'll always love you and make you happy,
If you will only say the same,
But if you leave me to love another,
You'll regret it all some day.
Damn, that song is vicious and exactly what a baby needs to hear to be ready for the world.

Really?
The first verse:
The other night, dear
As I lay sleeping
I dreamt I held you in my arms
But when I woke, dear
I was mistaken
So I hung my head and I cried
I always took it to mean the person is mourning the loss of a loved one and they dreamed they were still alive.
Also, I once heard that this song was about a horse named Sunshine. 🤷♂️
It goes on like this:
You told me once, dear, you really loved me
And no one else could come between
But now you've left me and love another
You have shattered all of my dreams
So it's really about a break up
But maybe they broke up with a horse, don't judge.

Yeah alright, a three year old already knows to hate. Yeah.
Bruh, have you never met a child? Hate is one of the first things kids learn.
At three, I hated lots of things. Girls, Brussels sprouts, wasps, Darth Vader, and taking baths.
I'm glad you had such a sheltered life.
But how did you feel about sand?
I love it! It exfoliates my feet, I use it to make little sand castles and other sculptures, and it cleans off of my stuff with just a little spray of water!
Could this have been at all motivated by spite of Darth Vader?
Could be, as I had, and still have, a giant ceramic Vader 'lamp' that scared the fuck out of me as a kid, hence the hate, and not just because he's a dick in Star Wars.
Granted that would mean I was clairvoyant as a kid, given that the hatred of sand wasn't known until 20+ years later. MAYBE I AM FORCE SENSITIVE!
Look at this rich kid wasting water, where did they raise you, on Naboo?
Wait, you guys remember when you were three?
Just today my 3yo has hated: dance class, her sister, and carrots.
She loves them now though. They're a fickle bunch.
Carrots are many a childs' first scathing hatred.
Her dance class or the carrots?
A bunch of dance classes is too much for a 3yr old. No wonder they hate'm
At 3, I already had a kid I hated. I know this because apparently I saw him one day, made sure to point him out to my parents and blatantly told them I hate him. At least that's how my mom tells it.
3 yo me was right to hate that kid. From age 3 to senior year, that kid was a Grade A douchebag.
Okay
Yeah, generally. Is 'terrible twos' a saying in your area? It is in mine. Toddlers suck.
a 3 year old? That Happened.
You've obviously never met a three year old
