They’re not all creepy! And sometimes they actually make a great song greater, or a bad song better. Biases aside, in this episode we celebrate the contributions of children to music history.
Christine chose this theme with a song that transcended praise music and made its way to the club scene: “Stand on the Word,” by the Joubert Singers. Recorded in 1982 by the Joubert Singers, a children’s choir who were originally known as the Celestial Choir, this song made its way to New York and New Jersey nightclubs, proving that kids singing about God… can be a bop? You tell us!
Christina, ever the contrarian, picked something that ended up rattling Christine’s nerves: “Screamin’ Demon” from Human Skab. Sweet and melodic? NO. Insane and exciting? HELL YES. Kids are weird, y’all. And in 1986 Travis had a message for the world: It’s not just playin’ guitars good that is important. It’s all the things that you do.” Amen.
Don’t forget that we love audience participation. Cruise over to our Instagram to leave us a comment on our Episode 68 post with YOUR favorite song featuring kids (and it doesn’t have to be a kids’ song!). And share our podcast with a friend, won’t you?
