Have you ever listened to so many repeats of the same song that it made you a little, shall we say, insane?

For example, after about 2.1 billion ‘Barney’ viewings over the last several months, I’ve actually started having a preference for which ‘generation’ I like to see. I like, currently, the ones that have the silly bird puppets (but not too much screentime), before BJ and Baby Bop were released on us. Back then it seems the kids had to actually have a little talent, and Barney didn’t overpower them all with his singing and ‘be happy’-ness.

See? I’m starting to critique Barney.

Here’s the thing though. We have a Hokey Pokey Elmo. He sings. The same. damn. song. every. time. And the two year old cannot get enough of him.

You put your head in, you put your head out, you put your head in and you shake it all about!

I can’t figure out which is worse – that I find this somehow dirty, or that Elmo is getting more action than me. Maybe I should just stick to Pandas.

Oopsie!
