When Danny first started showing an interest in music, he came to me asking for some song suggestions for his iPod. Being that Tom knows very little music outside of the Classic Rock genre, specifically the "Lynard Skynard" station on Pandora, I felt that Danny made the wise choice in enlisting my help. He said, "Mom, do you have any hip hop or rap music that I could put on my iPod?"
I searched the music data base in my head, examined my iPod for some possible candidates, and came up with some classic, fun hip hop songs that I thought he'd enjoy. I took his iPod and uploaded the clean versions of "Without Me" by Eminem, "Bust a Move" by Young MC, "Just a Friend" by Biz Markie, "Girls" by the Beastie Boys, among others.
Later that evening, I asked him, "How did you like the songs I put on for you?"
He replied in a less than enthusiastic way, "They were okay."
"Okay?! Wow, I'm surprised because I thought those songs would be perfect for you."
"Well, I liked the song Dad put on my iPod much better than the ones you put on. His rap song was really good."
Unable to imagine Tom knowing any rap song, let alone one he already owned, I asked with shock, "Dad put a rap song on your iPod?! What song was it?",
Danny replied, "White and Nerdy by Weird Al Yankovic".
