Um, so [profile] 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.

um...is this real? I'm pretty sure that you are making it up cause it sounds so fuckin CRAZY!!!

But, then again...we live in a world where they were going to turn a comercial into a sitcom and where people ask questions like "who wrote The Diary of Anne Frank? So it really doesn't suprise me...but then I start thinking about it again and I wanna throw up...

Oh no. It's for real. I had the cd in my hand. I linked to the complete line-up on Amazon.

Dude, you can listen to the songs on amazon. And no they don't have any lyrics. The music sounds like it is coming from a badly broken music box/wind up toy. I just think the Greenday is particularly bad, as I was never a fan of their music but their song I thought was about how bad the media is. Doesn't that kind of go hand in hand with consumerism?

They destroyed the Metallica classics and made a mockey of the Master Of Puppets cover. I could barely recognize some of them.
