Här kommer två låtar som är lite äldre men fortfarande grymma! (om man heter Frida Johansson så tycker man detta i varje fall)

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm- Crash Test Dummies

Once there was this kid who
Got into an accident and couldn't come to school
But when he finally came back
His hair had turned from black into bright white
He said that it was from when
The car had smashed so hard

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

Once there was this girl who
Wouldn't go and change with the girls inte change room
But when they finally made her
They saw birthmarks all over her body
She couldn't quite explain it
They'd always just been there

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

But both girl and boy were glad
'Cause one kid had it worse than that

'Cause then there was this boy whose
Parents made him come directly right after school
And when they went to their church
They shook and lurched all over the church floor
He couldn't quite explain it
They'd always just gone there

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm


Cats in the cradle - Harry Chapin

My child arrived just the other day
He came to the world in the usual way
But there were planes to catch and bills to pay
He learned to walk while I was away
And he was talking 'fore I knew it, and as he grew
He'd say "I'm gonna be like you dad
You know I'm gonna be like you"

And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When're you comin' home dad?
I don't know when, but we'll get together then son
You know we'll have a good time then

My son turned ten just the other day
He said, "Thanks for the ball, Dad, come on let's play
Can you teach me to throw?" I said "Not today
I got a lot to do", he said, "That's ok"
And he walked away but his smile never dimmed
And said, "I'm gonna be like him, yeah
You know I know I'm gonna be like him"

And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When're you comin' home, Dad?
I don't know when, but we'll get together the son
You know we'll have a good time then"

Well, he came home from college just the other day
So much like a man I just had to say
"Son, I'm proud of you, can you sit for a while?"
He shook his head and said with a smile
"What I'd really like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys
See you later, can I have them please?"

And the cats inte cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When're you comin' home, son?
I don't know when, but we'll get together then, Dad
You know we'll have a good time then

I've long since retired, my son's moved away
I called him up just the other day
I said "I'd like to see you if you don't mind"
He said, "I'd love to, Dad, if I can find the time
you see my new job's a hassle and the kids have the flu
But it's sure nice talking to you, Dad
It's sure nice talking to you"

And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me
He'd grown up just like me
My boy was just like me

And the cats in the cradle and silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When're you comin' home son?
I don't know when, but we'll get together then, Dad
We gonna have a good time then
