You know, Perry told Rolling Stone that she "wants to be invited" to join the Illuminati! Could this be an attempt to "make her bones" before the all-seeing eye?
I doubt that she is REALLY ready for the jumping in that the Consecrated Seers of Bavaria will administer. (Less Dark Horse, more Pale Horse)
I wonder how many times a day that baby fusses in the game of making mommy play that song again. I bet that was the 100th time baby pulled off that trick and part of the delight is that she made mommy play it.
My own mother liked to tell me about something I did when I was too young to have retained any memory of it: importune her to play "The Mexican Hat Dance." That's a very annoying song for an adult to endure repeatedly.

It's a fact homie, you go against me ya fucked I get the drop, if you can duck, ya luckier then Lady Luck Look nigga, don't think you safe cause you moved out the hood Cuz ya momma still around dog, and daddy ain't good
If you was smart you'd be shook of me Cuz I'd get tired of lookin' for ya Spray ya momma crib And let ya ass look for me
If there's beef, cock it and dump it The drama really means nothing to me I'll ride by and blow ya brains out There's no time to cock it No way you can stop it When niggas run up on you wit them thangs out

When my daughter was two years old, I had "trained" her to come to me with her arms up and say "Up, Daddy, dance, dance!" whenever I played Megadeth's Symphony of Destruction. She's outgrown it now.

The Song Yummy Yummy Yummy by the Ohio Factory used to make me cry. My sisters loved to play it because my brother would start dancing and I would burst into tears.
The challenge is to find songs you can let the kids hear in the car. I don't know Perry's songs - the videos are horrible, but maybe the lyrics are ok. Most music, even pop music, is stuff you really don't want your little girls signing along with.
Like my children, she is doomed. After being raised on pop by their mother (who is practically perfect other than her taste in music), I am having a difficult time getting them to appreciate good music. Though my 13 year old daughter is showing signs of hope with the Beatles and Bob Dylan.
I raised my kids on my collection of 60's, 70's and 80's music. My kids went with the modern stuff and complained about my music in the car. Funny thing is that every one has since asked for some to quite a bit of my MP3 collection. On top of that son #1 is a major Kiss, Iron Maiden and Pink Floyd fan.
(Okay, Son #2 rocks out to weird anime music videos. The MP3 in his music directory is "Don't Fear the Reaper". He's always been odd.)
Almost 20 years ago my then-10 year old son started listening to rap. I gave him a couple of Stevie Wonder CD's and introduced him to the Temptations. Black culture used to produce really great music, and I hoped that if he heard some of it, he'd realize what had been lost, and what an awful con rap is.

Are toddler parents the new target demo for that insidious vixen Perry? Will she stop at nothing?

Well if you didn't lose your mind in the 1970's (heh, I had to include the 19 for the younger folks) you weren't there man.
YOU WEREN'T THERE.

It must have been The Applejacks, "Mexican Hat Rock" (1958). Wow! That's annoying. There was a dance too, around a hat on the floor.

One word: Barney.

Look nigga, don't think you safe cause you moved out the hood
Cuz ya momma still around dog, and daddy ain't good
If you was smart you'd be shook of me
Cuz I'd get tired of lookin' for ya
Spray ya momma crib
And let ya ass look for me
If there's beef, cock it and dump it
The drama really means nothing to me
I'll ride by and blow ya brains out
There's no time to cock it
No way you can stop it
When niggas run up on you wit them thangs out

My son likes "Go Your Own Way," by Fleetwood Mac.
Rock music appeals to children. It really is juvenile. Part of growing up is outgrowing popular music.
Barney or Barnie?
Or; The Big Barnes.
The Mostest--best-- Barney, on account of reaching the ball too fast, hips aflutter, kicks dirt.
It's pop. She'll grow out of it, into something worse, maybe.
Pop's not so bad.
Is it satanic?
No, that's Katy Perry. I grant you it's devil music, but it's not Satan. One of the second class demons, maybe. Beelzeboobie.
Everybody knows Satan is a blues man.
For instance, this dog is possessed.
Release the dog, Satan!
Is it possibly that the kid likes music?
There's something wrong there?
I thought that was one of things it was for,...

Once again Althouse has a problem w/ the appeal of a hot young gal.
Is there a tag for 'Althouse bristles at hot gals?'
Sheesh.
When my daughter was two years old, I had "trained" her to come to me with her arms up and say "Up, Daddy, dance, dance!" whenever I played Megadeth's Symphony of Destruction. She's outgrown it now.

Have we lost our minds? Is it satanic?
Quite the contrary. That child has the God-given gift of liking music that sucks. It will stand her in good stead throughout her life.

1. John allows himself to feel superior via his own preference for "adult" music.
2. John does not understand music.
3. I like the picture at John's profile, and wonder why he chose that killer doggy thing (check mine out if you like).
Our music isn't only having an effect on young *people*:

The Song Yummy Yummy Yummy by the Ohio Factory used to make me cry. My sisters loved to play it because my brother would start dancing and I would burst into tears.
I also used to say, "le me lone!" and my sisters thought it was funny to tease me with Leave me Alone by Helen Reddy. :(

Damn you, the nightmares had just finally ended.
The earworm is now back, so back into therapy I go.

My kids did the same thing when I played King Crimson

It worked.
