Having a snow day has produced a great thing...time for me to go through
iTunes and burn a compilation (yes, I use CDs and iTunes, judge away!)
of the greatest hits of 2016. These are the tunes Anton and I (and
sometimes Papa) listened to on repeat as we traveled to and from karate,
the coast, Portland, and all of the other car trips we took. The music
rotated but a few things stayed constant: 1) Anton would always get
passenger seat even if there were other adults in the car 2) Anton would
immediately search for gum or candy before applying seatbelt 3) Anton
would immediately change whatever music was currently playing (probably a
good thing since it was usually explicit rap) and navigate to the EXACT
song he wanted to hear, even if it had been the same song for several
weeks (months). The kid knows what he likes. This compilation is a of
taste of those songs...although not ALL inclusive. Weird Al Yankovic was
purposely left off of this list...we are all a little burned out right
now on Weird Al as much as we love him. Also, for the music 'splainers, I
realize that most of these songs did not actually come out in 2016,
I'll do that later but it won't be kid-friendly.
Without further delay...here are Anton & Mommy's Top Car Songs of 2016! ***drumroll***
