Queen's New Singer


I'm sitting right now in front of the computer when I heard my 13yo son put on the Queen CD downstairs in the kitchen and played "Don't Stop Me Now". He and my 3yo youngest sang along with gusto. My youngest knows most of the words and can sing in tune. What makes me smile the most is that not only can she sing well but they all appreciate Queen! It's nice if kids learn to like the music of their parents. My eldest has worn out the best of Beatles CD I bought last year. They learned to like Elvis when they saw the Lilo and Stitch movie. They loved it when we play Prez Prado and Glen Miller in the car. They're learning to play the blues in the piano along with their dad. They loved it when we saw a kids' BBC Proms concert (classical). What do you think, should I introduce them to Led Zep next?

It's funny how we do our family 'karaoke'. My husband would be manning the piano, while we would be singing from the recently googled lyrics on the computer monitor behind him.


Don't Stop Me Now

(Words and music by Freddie Mercury)

Tonight I'm gonna have myself a real good time
I feel alive and the world turning inside out Yeah!
And floating around in ecstasy
So don't stop me now don't stop me
'Cause I'm having a good time having a good time

I'm a shooting star leaping through the sky
Like a tiger defying the laws of gravity
I'm a racing car passing by like Lady Godiva
I'm gonna go go go
There's no stopping me

I'm burning through the sky Yeah!
Two hundred degrees
That's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I'm trav'ling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic man out of you

Don't stop me now I'm having such a good time
I'm having a ball don't stop me now
If you wanna have a good time just give me a call
Don't stop me now ('cause I'm havin' a good time)
Don't stop me now (yes I'm havin' a good time)
I don't want to stop at all

I'm a rocket ship on my way to Mars
On a collision course
I am a satellite I'm out of control
I am a sex machine ready to reload
Like an atom bomb about to
Oh oh oh oh oh explode

I'm burning through the sky Yeah!
Two hundred degrees
That's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I'm trav'ling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic woman of you

Don't stop me don't stop me
Don't stop me hey hey hey!
Don't stop me don't stop me ooh ooh ooh (I like it)
Don't stop me don't stop me
Have a good time good time
Don't stop me don't stop me Ah

I'm burning through the sky Yeah!
Two hundred degrees
That's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I'm trav'ling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic man out of you

Don't stop me now I'm having such a good time
I'm having a ball don't stop me now
If you wanna have a good time just give me a call
Don't stop me now ('cause I'm havin' a good time)
Don't stop me now (yes I'm havin' a good time)
I don't want to stop at all.
La la la la la ...

hi BongK, hehehe! I bet they will discover that by themselves once they hear what I've been listening to.

Theme songs? Oo ba, pero mukhang mas marami ka pang alam kesa sa akin. Btw, Sabado ngayon meron ka bang internet connection sa bahay o nasa trabaho ka?

cheers!

Uy, ilang panahon na lang may papalit na kay Freddie Mercury. Ang sarap naman ng pamilya nyo. nagkakantahan. Yung panganay ko, dati siya ang singer ko kaya lang nag-iba na ng taste e. Mga bago ng singer ang pinapakinggan and i can hardly keep up. Atsaka naging mahiyain na yata. Sigh...

Isn't it great when your kids can appreciate the music that you listen to? I know most people will think my kids are strange 'cause they know the words to a lot of 'oldies'. But the great thing is, they also keep us young. I would never know the new groups that are out now if it weren't for them.

Hi tito Rolly and Jmom, they're the ones who keep me up to date on the latest music. Sometimes they get surprised when I knew their songs. Hehehe! Pa hip-hop hip-hop na rin. Pero a lot of the current songs are just rehash of 70s/80s music. Kaya magaling pa rin yung era natin, di ba?
