Part of the ongoing series of 'Molly Songs': a weekly look featuring songs that our children will love, but more importantly parents can enjoy as well.
This week's selection at first seems like an aberration for me as it is neither arty nor a typical kids song. However, it fits many of the typical pieces of a "Molly Song." Foremost, Molly digs the song and sings a long. Furthermore, it has repetitive simple lyrics that are easy to understand and remember for a little one. Finally, it's catchy. The real aberration is that it the rest of the album is not fit to be heard by my little on.
Hottie Katy Perry is a popular get ready for work/pre-school selection of my wife & little Molly respectively. I picked up Teenage Dream one weekend with the Tangled Soundtrack. I am so glad I bought the other album as well, as I quickly had to take Teenage Dream out of my cd player. Many of they lyrics are a bit mature, if not explicit.
This isn't the first time an album will have a "Molly Song", but the whole thing doesn't fit the formula. Normally, she can listen to those other songs, she might just not like them. In this case, I have to only have the song in a playlist for her, and hide the cd elsewhere.
'Firework' per Wikipedia "is the third single from the album and was released on October 26, 2010." The song, is quite inspirational showing many kids gaining courage to be themselves and persevering despite perceived defects or flaws. Despite the danger of wanting to watch other Katy Perry video's, I am more than happy to let Molly watch this video as much as she wants!
