Um, so
rayechu just brought up a cd to me. Um....wow.
It's entitled: Rockabye Baby: Lullaby Renditions of Green Day.
The back copy says:
Rockabye Baby! transforms timeless rock songs into beautiful instrumental lullabies. Instead of distorted guitars and thunderous drums, we've used glockenspiel, vibraphone, mellotron and other instruments.
Do cries in the night make you a basket case? If a rambunctious baby is turning you into an insomniac, Green Day's anthems about dookie and shenanigans can helo make sweet children. Say good riddance to cranky baby. Welcome to paradise.
What. The. Fuck.
The cover is graced with a grenade-like teddy bear with a halo.
Wow.
I mean, do people stop and think about the products they produce? I mean, were they for real? Or were the makers laughing their asses off as they produced this line knowing that some idiot, somewhere, would buy it. If you are said idiot. I'm sorry for your loss.
And just in case the glockenspiel rendered stylings of Green Day aren't up to your baby's musical tastes, they also have glockenspiel renditions of
Nirvana and the Cure as well as Metallica and Led Zeppelin. Rock on.
