Playing in a typewriter band, my own son, 8, has definitely had a unique formative experience around what a band sounds like. Also for some reason, the Shaggs’ “My Pal Foot Foot” was an early earworm for him, and I was worried I might have blown up something in his brain. Fortunately he’s moved on to Taylor Swift and Imagine Dragons so another triumph for the resiliency of the child’s mind!

I am made to understand that in Britain one has "football language," in which boys and girls can express themselves as their parents do while at the ground for matches, even though that sort of language might have consequences in, say, school.

When my son was young, he and I would often drive to the beach in Oregon, and I would put together a playlist that always had some "beach trip" language. It was a gas watching in the rearview mirror as profanity would come up in a few of the songs and he would look up from his tablet or book with a gleeful, sort of conspiratorial look on his face. These songs were not played at home when mom was in the house. I think the best one was the first time I played Cee-Lo's Fuck You.
