i wasn't aware of the generation gap between my father and us (maybe it was self denial) but it became self evident one day in the car.

we were listening to hillsong's new album song, take it all, and the chrous is something like

"jesus i'm living for you now. take take take it all, take take take it all!"

this is what my father thought it sounded like

"take take take it OFF. take take take it OFF!"

oh my gosh. a wholesome christian song has been degraded to, well, i dunno a striptease song?

amidst the laughter in the car, it dawned on me that this gap is a two way thing. i mean, during his time in the university days, there was one song which he always listened to, and it went like this

"its a not so bad! you shut up your mouth!"

im told its a satire of italian moms scolding their sons. how it became a top hit? yes, it eludes me too.

of course, i just realised i'd rather listen to it than what my itune is playing now. want to guess what it is? ill give you a hint: the lyrics have probably been memorised as much as the "if you're happy and you know it clap your hands" song.

yes its the damn high school musical song. PLEASE!!! NOT ANOTHER PEEP! NOT ANOTHER SOUND! NONONO! IF YOU WANT TO BE COOL, FOLLOW ONE SIMPLE RULE STOP SINGING HIGHSCHOOL MUSICAL SONGS!
