Kidz Ruin Everything
Last weekend I was watching “Big Love” and was momentarily excited to hear Modest Mouse in the background of one scene. That moment of joy was shattered when I realized that it wasn’t really Modest Mouse, but Kidz Bop singing Modest Mouse.
Kidz Bop is essentially popular music sung by kids - it’s the equivalent of children doing indie rock karaoke. There’s virtually no difference between the two versions of said Modest Mouse song, aside from the singers. So are we to believe that kids would rather listen to a chorus of other kids singing Modest Mouse than Modest Mouse singing Modest Mouse? Or should I say, parents would rather have their kids listen to the kids version?
Maybe this stuff flies in Utah, but please New York hipster parents, don’t let me down.
