We are riding in my pickup to go get some food before we hunker down to play some games for the afternoon while their parents were away at some all day thing. I had my car's sound system connected to my phone and it was playing one of my playlists. I was not thinking about this at all.

Then, this tune started. I immediately hit the button to skip the song. The older one waited until I had to deal with driving to back it up and start it again. He and I did this a few times. I finally had to turn the radio off. (So that it would disconnect my phone. Little... angels.)

A few years later, when the older one was 14, he finally heard the tune.

He told me he didn't like it. LOL.
