The kids song guaranteed to get you in trouble

Lots of kids music came out this summer. All the giants, monsters of kid rock if you will, released new music - Dan Zanes has a very cool spanish album, Ralph Covert released another consistent cd, and Laurie Berkner returned. I must admit - i have heard none of them, and fear that me and my kids may be getting past that age. gasp.

I did download and share one gem with the twins. Kimya Dawson (of the Moldy Peaches and Juno fame) released a 54 second doozy called "Alphabutt." If you know her quirky anti-folk style, you'll know exactly what it is - A to Z with butt, doody and potty words appropriate for the pre-school set.

My kids thought it hilarious. I credit NPR's brilliant "All Songs Considered" for introducing it to me as one of their songs of the summer.

Don't let the Mrs know you shared the potty humor with the kids - but it's good and mirthful. Worth the 99 cents on itunes.
