I am fond of parodies. I like Weird Al and think it takes some talent to create a song in this fashion. I often like to show my subjects these parodies. One person that is very good at doing this is Jimmy Fallon. So the other day, I stumbled on the parody below by Jimmy Fallon and Gabrielle Union..
So after I watched it, I showed it to SuperMom. Of course, once the subjects thought we were looking at something funny, they wanted to watch it as well. Therefore, we played it again for Lu, DP, and Jr. The first song they parody is OMI's "Cheerleader" followed by "I can't feel my face" by The Weeknd. I am not sure why he doesn't have the last e in his name, but who am I to judge. The last song is a parody of a Song called "Watch me Whip / Nae Nae" by Silento. However, the song before it is the one of interest. It is a song by Rhianna with roughly the same title. And that is where our story begins.
Last weekend was DP's last football game and SuperMom had Lu and Jr in the stands while he played. If you are unfamiliar with Pop Warner football, it is an all day thing for some families because they have multiple kids playing back to back. It is very festive and the PA announcer tries to pump up the crowd by doing cheers, playing songs, etc. The fans are not sitting on top of each other but are near by and are enjoying the games. After a period of songs by the announcer, the stands were somewhat quite. Maybe because they some times play "Watch me Whip / Nae Nae" during these games because it is popular for some ungodly reason, Jr thought of the parody and yells out "Mitch better have my money!". To this, several of the members in the crowd looked over at Jr. We are not sure what their thoughts were. Did they see the parody and think it was funny? Did they think he said "Bitch better have my money" like the regular version? If so, how bad do they think our parenting skills are? I guess we will never know. However, Jr did get the crowd laughing at least. You never know what is coming out of his mouth or why.
