"Paul's Boutique" endures
"Paul's Boutique" is one of my favorite albums. In fact, it is probably in my top 10 of all-time.

Several months ago, I made a copy of the CD for my wife to listen to in her car. Well, it turns out that she is not the only one enjoying it. "Paul's Boutique" is now the favorite CD of my sons Mahlon (7) and Miles (4). While I find it interesting that they are drawn to the same music that I was in college, there is something surreal about seeing my kids singing "Eggman" and "Johnny Ryall." Not only do they know the song titles and track numbers, but they know many of the lyrics ("We all dressed in black / We snuck up around the back / We began to attack / The eggs did crack on Jes' back" is their favorite).

Of course, there are some songs that aren't age appropriate, so they have to skip those. However, much of the humor and innuendo is above their heads anyway.

I'm going to try and capture their next "performance" on video. I'll post a clip as soon as I do.
