Not many people realize that the waltz was considered to be transgressive and scandalous in its time. I think the act of rocking, or purporting to rock, is now very nearly as tame as the waltz.
This video makes me sublimely uncomfortable. Those poor kids! At least they don't seem to have parents throwing them out there like Richard Heene. Their web presence, as far as I can tell, is this one video.

We used to have a running joke that many things once considered society-destoryingly subversive would not be out of place on a Seniors cruise ( waltzing! Yoga! Vegetarianism! Chiropractors!)

The flight had a stopover on the Brain Slug Planet. Bleep liked it so much she decided to stay of her own free will.

The authorities did not tell these children that things on the internet are there forever.

I have frequently said that those who teach young people to "Question Authority" become the first authorities to be questioned...

Wait, what will the Lord give you if you honor your father and mother? A long goodbye? A longer bike? I can't quite make it out.

My sister is the kind of mother who forces her children to listen to songs like this. . .at least until they were old enough to operate the stereo on their own. Her children are not obedient.
Hmm.

I prefer the old (home)school version of this song.
Some kids do as they please
They don't know what life really means
Some kids think their parents are cruel
Just because they want them to obey certain rules

If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot tapping to the beat of a catchy kids band's song — forever.

I don't know what's better: the way it starts out and you think it's just some suburban punks learning to put their tongues in their cheeks until you realize that no, they're sincere; or is it the way the chorus is sung so dead-eyed and off-key that it becomes like some sort of buzzing drone chant that can't help but hypnotize you.
What's that mom? Yes ma'am, whatever you say.

I just bet that they pray everyday for Americans to fall in line and obey President Obama.
