Boy Bands vs. Kids Songs

If you saw Meg’s post on our Facebook page, then you know she has professed her love of boy bands! Which got me thinking which is worse, singing kids songs like the theme song to Dora or Curious George all day (yes even when there are no kids around) or singing your favorite boy band songs? I am really not sure which one makes me seem crazier?

Obviously, having a kid, it makes sense that I would know the theme songs to shows I get to watch over and over, but I am not sure what it says that I sing them even when said “child” is nowhere in sight and has not been for hours. My coworkers just laugh and shake their heads now when I randomly start singing “wiggle wiggle wiggle….stomp stomp stomp” one of my favorite Dora songs. Wait…..should I have a favorite Dora song? Probably having to ask is a bad sign!

Then there is the boy band music that I grew up with, N’sync (singing Bye Bye Bye in my head currently), 98 Degrees, Backstreet Boys and the beloved return of NKOTB. Is it still cool if we like this “pop” music? I mean honestly I would take N’sync over Taylor Swift any day. I feel like it is okay that I still like the “pop” boy bands and my girls Brittany and Christina, but probably a little too old to admit to liking any Justin Bieber song (Admittedly I sing a little Bieber in the car). I mean if women my mom’s age can think “Edward” or "Jacob" are hot, then I can still like boy bands right?

Although I do actually have boy bands and girls like Brittany and Christina on my iPad, it’s not my normal choice of music (I am what I like to call an “Inde Folk” fan). Hey, I am trying to save some dignity here. It does work well that you still own 90's pop music however, when you are setting up playlist for your husband to listen to while he does surgery. Because of the random variety of music you can find in my collection, the Bovine Hunter had asked me to set up some playlists of music he likes, so he could just hit play on his surgery days. Yes, apparently it is true that doctors like to rock out while performing surgery. (Next time you have a procedure and wake up singing Guns and Roses, now you know why) So being the loving wife I am, I made him a few varieties of playlists, but nothing says "I love you" more than a random "Genie in the Bottle" or "Oops I Did It Again". Yep, I am that nice! I knew secretly he would be so happy I added in some of his favorites! Hehe!

Who’s your favorite (secret) band/person you don’t admit to liking? We promise we won't tell!
