Progress?

During our aimless wanderings in the car today, Henry requested "that other Clash song, that oi song" and so we listened to "Career Opportunities" a bunch of times in a row. (At some point during the song, there are shouts of "oi," which may or may not be Portuguese slang for "hey." Also, there's the Oi! subgenre of punk rock.)

Okay, so maybe the lyrics are a bit cynical for a two year old, but there is a version of the song sung by children on Sandinista so it can't be that bad, right? We'll save the discussions of the skinhead movement and the politics of the Sandinistas for another day...

I'm broadening his horizons. Just keep repeating it... broadening his horizons... broadening his horizons...
