The 333 Best Pop Songs of the 2000s: #151

#151: "Young Folks" (2007) - Peter Bjorn & John

Upon hearing the line in the chorus that sings, "We don't care about the old folks," my son replied, "Dad! That's disrespectful! I don't want to listen to that song anymore. And you shouldn't either!"

My wife looked at me, smiling (and a bit smug, I think), and I started to argue with him, but I soon said, "You know what, son: you're right." I turned it off, and he said thanks.

And then I heard him humming the tune. I backed him up by whistling, just like they do in the song. And he never said anything else about it.
