The Real Reason Abba Is Still Making Money

I thought it was just my kid on the weird Swedish pop band-wagon until netball practice a few weeks ago, when my friend’s daughter burst into a tune from Mamma Mia. OK, the girls have weekly playdates - it could be her influence rubbing off. Then this: San Francisco Gate’s Amy Graff reported on a Mamma Mia sing-along for families. &#...

Jennifer Lopez Changes Her Name: Just Call Her Lola (VIDEO)

Looks like Jennifer Lopez (aka J.Lo, Jenny From The Block) has taken on yet another identity. A new song, titled "Fresh Out Of The Oven", was released on the web today and credited to an artist named “Lola”. But there’s no disguising the singer’s identity — it sounds exactly like Lopez.

Kids Love Rock Band? Try Showing Them How To Really Rock Out

These kids today, with their video games…why, when I was a teen we had to play air guitar and embarrass ourselves if we wanted to play along with our favourite musicians without actually picking up an instrument. Now these kids get to just play Guitar Hero or Rock Band and actually feel cool if they do a good job. Sorry. I’m pushing 40 and...

Did Men At Work Rip Off Kids’ Campfire Song?

Ah, Men at Work, one of those bands you can’t get out of your head if you tried. The weird lyrics alone would do it (hello “buying bread from a man in Brussels?”), but maybe there’s something more. Men at Work is facing a lawsuit for allegedly ripping of a song we all learned to sing around the campfire when we were kids. Kookaburra S...

Adult Music For Little Kids: Get Over It

When we get in the car, my daughter puts in her musical requests. "The Rolling Stones, please!" Yes, she's three (almost four), and she loves her some Mick and Keith. The quota of "adult" music to kiddie tunes in her section of my iPod is an almost two to one ratio. Just because they're kids doesn't mean they have to listen to inane bouncing aro...
