Look at it this way.  If they were adults you would see them as just a really crappy cover band.

But it is funny that they are children. The problem is that it won't end there.

No.  It's still unbearable.  Sorry.  The singing ruins it.  For me, this has always been the reason children should be allowed to sing publically.

This does it for me. I just realized that my dad is the exact right age to have been a singer in this choir-- actually he was an alto in church choir until his voice changed. Thinking about that, and this sad song, and all of the shitty stuff that would happen to my dad around this time period, is making me way too sad for this to be an 80 degree day with no Christmas in sight.

Eight year olds showing actual musicianship shredding away on a Metallica standby doesn't do it for you, but a bunch of towheads in leiderhosen singing about overcoming incontinence does?

I...I have not the words.

You gotta be kidding me, those pee pee kids were showing way more musicianship than the Metallica kids.  And they weren't pretending to be adults so they definitely win big in this comparison.

Question for the Americans, is Mini Pops only a thing in Canada?  They were huge when I was a kid and have continued cranking out shit cover albums since the early 80's.

We have Kidz Bop. That is a cover of Float On by Modest c*ck (synced up with some live footage of Modest c*ck). Anyway, you get to hear a bunch of kids sing "I backed my car into a cop car the other day. YEAH!"

It's totally fucked.

I admit, I didn't make it all the way through the peepee video. They were shrieking into microphones and shuffling around like head trauma victims, I couldn't take it. The Metallica kids, though, were actually playing guitars and drums such that the original melody and style of the song was preserved. That's pretty impressive for a bunch of 8, 9, and 10 year olds. How well did you play the guitar when you were 8?

Sure, the Mini Metallica's front man was a bit shrill, but even he was doing his best to be a showman and not just a singer. And as for kids pretending to be adults, I'll take that over an excessively precious ditty about bodily fluids any day.

I haven't had a chance to click on any of the links since my last post, and I am enjoying the filter so much here, I hate to ruin the thread by actually listening to any of that music.

This One is just for you Wombat.

I watched the entire thing.  I was intrigued by the ads for Christian Drug Rehab and The Miracles of Jesus Planning Kit.
