Ahhh.  OmegaDad is out in the field, the dotter is asleep.  It's time to rock out on YouTube.  (Go away, Mom, this isn't your style.)

Another Rainy Night, Queensryche:

Rock You Like a Hurricane, Scorpions (I always thought that was "Raunchy Like a Hurricane"):

White Wedding, Billy Idol:

Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This), the Eurythmics:

I Love Rock & Roll, Joan Jett & the BlackHearts:

Livin' on a Prayer, Bon Jovi:

Twilight Zone, Golden Earring:

Catch 'em while they're hot; Viacom already has had some things pulled (I couldn't find Dear God by XTC, for instance, grrr).

Every once in a while, the dotter sits on my lap while I drench her with rock videos for a few hours (though it's clear that I'm going to have to start censoring my sharing with her a bit more--nothing worse than, say, having to suddenly STOP!!! the video to Relax, ahem, and quickly hit the back button!).  It's a nice break from watching week 6 of last season's ITV "Dancing on Ice" feeeeturing Bonnie & Matt dancing to Madonna's Material Girl.  One.  More.  Time.  (Agggghhh!)

Mud.  Check.  Algae.  Check.  Rock'n'roll.  Check.  Ahhhh.  Being a parent is wonderful sometimes!
