It’s past Georgia's bedtime, and she’s proudly staring me down from the tub. She’s six years old. She’s adorable. And she just used the F-word for the first time. Yes, my daughter is amazing, and I’m using my songs this year to introduce you to HER top ten. Also, her "Daddy’s car playlist" only has ten songs at the moment, so now’s the time to do this cause I can only imagine what she’ll add next year.
And for the record, that’s the day - the moment - my little girl explained and demonstrated that one of the three Finns in her grade taught her to swear.
Parenting is hard. If you don’t have kids, you know this. If you do have kids, you KNOW this. Regardless how ‘25 treated you, keep being a good person, and I hope you find something you like in Georgia’s music!
“New Best Thing” by KOYOTIE
Possibly the most requested/sung song by my daughter that isn’t tied to an animated movie. (The top spot goes to “Golden” by a few miles. “We’re going up, up, up!”)
“Roll Up” by Fitz and The Tantrums
You haven’t lived till you’ve seen my kiddo try to play air drums while dancing and singing. Next time you’re around, though, she WILL do all of those when this song comes on.
“Electric Feeling” by Danger Twins
I bought a Chevy Bolt. It’s all black. I joke it’s Batman’s go-cart. Georgia loves it because of this song. She was all about having an EV when all her friends had GVs. But when she first connected that this song was about “electric” while riding in the Bolt, she MADE me add it to her list.
“Girl Gang” by Gin Wigmore
The lyrics speak for themselves on this one. Some songs are on here because I saw her show interest. Others are here because I wanted to make sure she had enough songs with female singers. This is both of those.
“Eyes on Me” by Ønders Feat. Lizzy Cruz
In a couple decades, I could see my daughter swaying and singing in a dark bar. I can also see this if I look in the rearview …
“Pain of Love” by Whissell
I thought this was a dud until I heard her singing made-up words to it.
“Baller” by Madison
This one was actually the opposite. I think Georgia saw me enjoying it and decided it was tolerable. Then OK. And finally good.
“these are my friends” by lovelytheband
"Play the lips one again!" Who am I to disagree with a salty six-year-old passenger?
“Wild” by H.E.R.O.
She’s convinced that the song is "Wild Hero," and I’m not going to change her mind.
“Hands Up” by Shangrii-La
This is just a dance song. Yes, Georgia and I have choreographed moves, but that’s what matters. Even when you’re late for first grade ...
