Kid4 was singing the first verse of Dido's 'Thank You', and I said to him, 'Where did you hear that?' and he said he couldn't remember.

Then I asked him if he knew the chorus, and he wasn't sure... so I played him the whole song. He knows all the words in the first verse but nothing after that -- apparently it's been used on some youtube shorts he's seen. Cracks me up that the kids will start singing these random few lines from songs I know so well and then when I join in and start singing the rest, they're completely at sea.

But it's not new, is it? I remember listening to the radio in my teens, and there was a sample of 'Bye bye Blackbird' in a song (can't remember the song now), and my mum started singing along. How shocked I was that my OLD MUM (probably about my age now, lol) would know this song! Heh, I kind of love that this music thing continues to circle back again, and again, and again :)
