Say It Ain't So
Thursday, February 12, 2009 at 1:50AM | Mr Lady
Call it a cop-out post, call it sacrilege, call it the most excruciatingly off-key mess you've ever heard, call it what you will. This is my life; welcome to it. This is what makes me laugh until I pee.
(I dubbed the actual song very quietly into the background for those of you who aren't well-versed in the greatness that is Weezer. You should work on that. Best band ever, not kidding. My 8 year old even knows this much is true.)

Maybe he'll be a bassist or something.

AWWWWWWW.
So sweet.
You want him to be a dog?
Oh. Not Basset.
I could totally eat him with a spoon. The little headbangs nearly made me wet my pants.
I WISH my 13-yr old listened to Weezer ... that'd be fucking cool. Everything off of the Blue Album = junior high + some high school for me. LOVE IT.
omg! Dude. that's AWESOME!! love it.
Umm, you're going to have to send him to me for "training" in Austin, then Seattle. I'll draw up a curriculum . . .
LOL
We so need to get our boys together on rockband!!!!
*gapes* Dude. That is like... the coolest thing I've ever seen. Hands down. *plays again* HA! Look at his head bob on beat. Seriously. Holy crap. Going to die of the cute. It burns us.
Nodding the instrumental parts are my particular favourite bits. Don't want to move too much though, EMOs do not expend unnecessary calories. Should the Urban Dictionary be updated?
I hope my boys are this cool.
See - we do our best. We infuse them with the good stuff and just hope they'll grow up singing the right songs.
"Son? You've made it through to Hollywood!"
Oh that's priceles...How on earth did you manage to catch that on video...my son would have felt me breathing and totally would have shut me down!!
That is just too...much!!
I'm so impressed you caught that on video! That's awesome.
Yes!!!!! I love that he kept singing.
This has purely got to be coincidental, but my cat started yowling from the other room as I was listening to him sing.
No lie.
But it could be because he sees another cat outside. Dunno.
So cute, OMG. I hope my kids are that cool!
Cool! I have a kiddo who is like this with Green Day.
Awesome! You're raising him right! I can't wait for my baby to sing along with Social Distortion (they are our best band ever.) I'll just cry... Did you cry?
Someday your kids will say 'I can't believe I know ALL the words to 'your' music.' Trust.
o.m.g...that is funny. I can totally remember being a teenager and blasting Weezer for all my teen angst...they rawkd!! (and yes, I still blast them from time to time...)
~K
Holy shit. How did you pull off getting all that on video w/ out him knowing it?! Mine worships Robert Plant and will scream 'Turn the Led Up' from the backseat of the car.
Last week I turned it down and he yelled, "Mom. If it's too loud, you're too old!"
Dude, he's five.
Okay, that has to be one of the sweetest things I've ever seen.
He.
Is.
Adorable!!!
dawn
very cool. my kids are the same way about anything PEARL JAM. it's a very good thing when the kids listen to our music!

He is too cool!
He totally sings in tune. Mostly. Awesome.
That. Is. Fantastic!!!
i LOVE that song! we totally kill it on Rock Band!
Dude, he went OFF during the bridge! So much intensity....I thought he might pop a blood vessel or something! It makes you wonder how they can just keep getting up there and giving it there all day in day out, ya know? :)
You've got a really cool kid. But I'm sure you already know that.
I love it. Exactly the kind of thing that later on in his teen years you bust out to show his girlfriend when he's being especially difficult.
Clueless about what kids are listening too. Harley doesn't listen to much.
hahaha! Did he know you were filming him? I love the headbanging interludes!
That was awesome! I love that song! He's got excellent musical taste, good job mom and dad. :)
AHAHAHAHA... so cute!
I myself have warped my babygirl into a Foo Fightin', Al Green loving musical junkie. But she still loves the Jo Bros. I tried...
At least I can rest assured that some of my brainwashing worked.
Rock on lil' man....I'm with the rest. The little head bangs kill me.
Cool scene you got going on over there lady... :-)
best post of the day so far.
This is awesome. I hope my kids (when I decide to have them) will be that cool.
And if he really gets into them, you can tell him all about the lead singer's vow of celibacy, right?
Is this akin to our parents being so swept over by the coolness of us singing to Zepplin? Because as much as this rocked and made me wanna buy him some black lipstick (I know 3 of 3 used up your cache), I now feel OLD, realizing that song came out before ANY of your kids were born.
(also made me wanna video Isobel singing along to System of a Down. Hmm.)
God, I think I just DID pee a little.
That is about the most awesome (and cutest) thing I've ever seen!
so you know The Phi is a big Weezer fan. Maybe our kids can get together one summer and follow a Weezer tour. And of course we would have to go too. You know to chaperon and everything.
Oh great, the 8 year old is cooler than me.
I peed a little with the headbangs!
Seriously, I feel you. My Meg puts in her ear buds, and we can hear her in the next room, with. the. door. closed. And the wall between her room and the living room is insulated. Whatever.
What I'm trying to say is: Awesome!
Did he know you were filming? Mine would have tried to eat me if she caught me. You're brave. So very brave. If he gets too nasty, you can direct his school to your website.
8 year olds are the best.
Except when they whine. And talk back. And don't put their shit away.
Oh, wait. That's my husband.
beautiful baby... i just want to skwish (hug) him but that's not allowed at that age, is it?
That's just like my daugter and Beyonce'. She's quick to tell you "To the left, to the left!"
SWEETNESS.
Just adorable... and your 8 yo and my 8 yo should sooooo hang (well, we could let them do whatever while we hang...)
You're a Troublemaker.
ohmygah!!! i love it! i sang along to that!
weezer was huge in high school. 95/96. my parents went to dinner and they took my little nephew with them. i stayed home to do homework. i had weezer on in the living room, loud. i was laying on the floor BELTING IT OUT, and i opened my eyes and my parents were staring at me with this shocked look on their face. baby nephew was holding his ears.
you take your car to work, i'll take my board, and when you're out of fuel, i'm still afloat.
oh man. must have weezer now. just their first album.
Your son has great taste in music :) That was the cutest video, he couldn't have performed the song better...and the head banging....he totally got his awsomeness from his mother :) Enjoy your rockin' memory!
That is awesome.
Can I keep him in a little wagon and pull him around behind me?
HE IS THE EPITOME OF AWESOME.
This is my favorite Weezer song, by the way. Your kid FTW.
