Music News, Reviews and live music video for the aging rocker set

What I learned watching Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade

1. The refrain of Lifehouse’s single “First Time” is nearly identical to Robbie Williams’ “Win Some, Lose Some”. Is there another Avril Lavigne vs. the Rubinoos style lawsuit on the horizon? By the way, nice appearance by the band from atop the US Postal Service float. I’ll think of Lighthouse the next time I buy stamps.

2. Menudo still exist (and I applaud their choreography).

3. I actually kind of like "I Jump” a song performed by a band called Bindi and the Crocmen - comprised of Steve Irwin’s grammar school aged daughter fronting and a group of jumping Aussies who greatly resembled The Wiggles. It is possible however that I am merely a sucker for any song sung by a tiny voiced pint sized foreign girl. I’d be lying if the whole affair didn’t bring to mind “Ginger Ale” a song by The Clean and sung by Hamish Kilgour’s small daughter about her favorite beverage with the great refrain “bubbles up your nose – so sweet, so sweet!

4. Hard to tell who was looking cooler Good Charlotte or the Energizer bunny. Both wore the same sunglasses but Good Charlotte sang from atop a float advertising Hess trucks – surely the pinnacle of their careers. Since the bunny is a giant balloon full of helium, I think he wins.
