Young Children and Freak Kitchen

[angrarox]

I guess this message is directed to od farts like myself. I have two children, 4 and 7, and while we were traveling one weekend, I decided to take High School Musical out of the cd player and put in Freak Kitchen, The kids LOVED it!! Every time we get in the car they say play Freak Kitchen. They also walk around saying, "Shut Up, Shut Up!" and "Speak when spoken to!"

Any of you people with kids have this happen?

Just be careful with some songs, like Silence! and the part about Janet's cofee enema (and Exorcism diet), etc....

My teenage step-daughter and all of her friends absolutely go nuts over "Speak When Spoken To." I swear that would be a Top 10 hit if somebody pushed the thing over here.

ALthough i missed the FK show, what i have heard of them online really reminds me of the band CLAWFINGER from Canada.

Let them listen to "Mr. Kaschei and the 13 Prostitutes"!

I completely agree! Funny and catchy songs get big really fast... anybody remember Fountains of Wayne's "Stacey's Mom"?

As for young kids and Freak Kitchen, I can completey understand
that. It's a little odd considering the ontent of some of the songs *ahem*
but it seems kids might actually be looking for something unique.

 

[FataMorgana]

I think FK needs to release a kids cd!!! I believe I made that comment to some friends after the show.

I've been meaning to make a comp cd for my son and edit out the objectionable parts. I know he'll enjoy "Speak When Spoken To".

 

[J-Man]

My two daughters and their friends absolutely LOVE Freak Kitchen, and this past weekend my youngest(14) took a compulation cd she made to her HS homecoming dance and had the dj play it. WELL, it went over big time, and the kids were all requesting "SpeAwhen Spoken too" and singing along with it. So it goes to show it is exactely as Glenn says given the airplay they would be as big as some of the mainstream bands that are around now.

My 8 year old loves Freak Kitchen, I caught him singing "I'd be happy to bend over just to be somebody- be somebody."

I did burn him a copy of songs that he's allowed to listen to. I don't allow him to listen to Porno Daddy and a couple of others... And when he sings Chest Pain Waltz, he can say Crap instead of shit. But only in the car when he's with me. If he says crap any other time, then he gets his Freak Kitchen rights revoked.

But then again, he also loves Opeth, Into Eternity, Fear Factory and many others...

I think "Nobody's Laughing Here" has Top 40 hit written all over it. Catchy like "Speak When Spoken To" but more melodic. I think a lot of their music would do well commercially in The States with the proper promotion.

Let them listen to "Mr. Kaschei and the 13 Prostitutes"!

Seeing a little kid sing along to that would be badass

"Nobody fucks with Kaschei! Especially not whores and cocksuckers named Ivan!"

 

[peacecat]

Yeah, Gonzo and I had to do a double take when the little Demon started singing "What about your son . . . Dad-io!" It's sad that we have to edit the fab FK, but a four-year old and "Porno Daddy" do not make for potenentially positive parent-teacher conferences. Of course, this child also loved the Porn song from Avenue Q when he was two.

That's awesome!

I would so spin a kid's FK for the Demon, though!

 

[Palabra de Dios]

I believe that FK could be popular in the states with the right label, publicity, etc.

Oh yeah, and their webshop needs to open soon. I'm getting antsy.

I doubt IA would let go of the self managed syndrome. Can you imagine a record company "making" FK do a Falling Into Infinity type release?

Webshop opens November 1, 2006 (allegedly!)

Err, as I recall, Clawfinger is either from Sweden or Germany.

That's the thing with Chest Pain Waltz. If IA would have recorded a "radio edit" version of that song by saying "crap" instead of "shit", I think it would have been a huge hit in the modern rock radio scene. But unfortunately, you can't say "shit" on the radio (at least regular broadcast radio... XM or Sirius on the other hand...)

When you laid the groundrules, did you tell him, "I've got the rights to you. There's nothing you can do?"

No 'cause I was giving him a bit of a guilt trip over his porno daddy. I think he looked bored.
