TobyMac’s Doo-Doo Stinks
We’ve had TobyMac’s albums for a while now. The boys love them, and for high energy music it’s good to have something playing in the car that isn’t cussing every other word or talking about all sorts of sexual escapades.
Parents, you get it. Non-parents that think that your musical tastes don’t have to change when you have kids, just wait until your three year old utters his first chorus, and lets out a string of obscenities that you never even realized were in that song you’ve been singing for years.
Recently we picked up Toby’s new DVD and the boys like to watch it and jump around like they are on stage playing their guitar hero guitar and working on their head spins. Tonight instead of book time before bed the boys asked if we could watch the Toby DVD. Since mom was going out, I thought it would be fine so even now, as I am typing this the boys are singing along.
Here’s the funny part. Even though we have had the records for a while now, I heard a part of a song that I had never heard before that literally had me stop and look up the lyrics online. It’s from a song call “Yours”. Here’s how the second verse goes.
Simple minded little punk
Thought I was the junk
Nobody ever told me that my doo-doo stunk
What was I out of my mind
Or was I just trippin’ on an ego
But You filled up the space and You never let me go
I’d like to take this moment to officially here on “…in case you were wondering.” let Toby, and everyone else reading, know that though I can’t confirm one hundred percent, I’m willing to go out on a limb and possibly be the first to proclaim publicly that Toby’s “doo-doo” in fact does stink. There it is people. Yes, I went there. Toby’s doo-doo stinks.
Normally I follow up my post with a question, but I think I will leave this one alone.













































My doo-doo stinks too! I’m like Toby Mac!
I am currently in the Veggie Tales stage right now – that’s all we play in the car. Until my wife went through a recent 80’s music lapse and now my 2 year old wants that on all the time! HELP!!!
Now that’s just funny!
I know what you mean about the old songs, but I didn’t notice it until my kids were teens. (We’d always listened to nothing but Christian music before that.) I’d put on the classic rock station and a good old song would come on. I’d turn it up and say, “Oh! This is a good song” hoping to better my teens’ education on what is good music. I’d start singing away, and suddenly realize what the song was saying. “Oops! Yeah, maybe you don’t need to hear this song.”
So are your kids asleep, or are they all jacked up on Toby? Ha ha!
Very yucky.
You didn’t really ask, but you mentioned it in passing, so I thought that I’d just throw out the idea that Lisa Loeb, Bare Naked Ladies, and They Might Be Giants all have kids C.D.s None are Christian but all are fantastic. They’re up there next to Veggie Tales in terms of kids music that doesn’t make me want to scratch my own eyes out.
