Wake up Mr. West Mr. West



We don't do Kidz Bop in this house. Or this car. Or with this parent.

Although tonight at Borders I was undermined by not having a good reason to say no and bought Humanling a book and kazoo set. After showing her a moment of basics in the parking lot, she caught on just enough.

Kanye West may never see his name on a Kidz Bop CD but he has been Kazooed.

Take this. Haters.

In fairness, Kanye got help from the originators of the song, Daft Punk.

But it's a good song.

I KNOW!!!! - only I didn't know that until this year when I found (for whatever reason) the Daft Punk CD on the floor in my back seat. So I popped it in and then heard where the swatch came from. I had no idea!!!

I give him credit for getting lots of talent to work with him. Some of his video work is astounding. But in general, I'm meh on the KW.

I should have known. I have been serious grooving on this cut since it hit our Top 40 station, and it was heading for my blog, but once again, Dawn, you done did the damn thing.

I've been familiar with the Daft Punk version since this YouTuberation;

(Bear through the first 47 seconds and then you will be astounded.)

As little of a rap afficiando as I am, I can absolutely not dent this man's ability to come correct with some clever lyrics. His isn't all about the "Huh! Yeeuh! Yeeuh! What! What!" He fills a track with solid words that go platinum.
