Proceed to Party

Tonight, Julie and Clara got caught up inside the KinderCare so Ted and Joe beat them to the car. When Julie opened the door to put Clara in her car seat, the Glee cast's version of Michael Jackson's Man in the Mirror came pouring out. (Longtime Fans may recall that several weeks ago, Julie and Ted gave a car concert of this song on the way to Target one Saturday morning. We're almost ready to take our act on the road. We are no doubt available for your upcoming event so keep us in mind.) Clara, rather charmingly, as is her wont, immediately began to bust a move. When the song ended, she immediately requested "more, more," and both Birds were dismayed to learn that Joe had already requested Sing With Me. Sing With Me is the lead off number on the second of MacPhail Center for Music's second children's music album. It's fine. Sort of a folk vibe. Not even rockabilly, which, frankly, Fans, we could not describe, but is at least fun to say. In any case, let's just say that the King of Pop wouldn't have covered it.

But just as you're thinking that Joe's musical tastes leave much to be desired, he requests "See the Party." Translated, this is Red Solo Cup, the chorus of which includes "proceed to party"--hence, "see the party." For our Fans who are perhaps dismissive of country music, we should add that Red Solo Cup is a sort of stupid, but fun, Toby Keith hit. Our Hero sang us home. Proceed to party, Fans.
