another lovely year of kindergarten in brooklyn recently came to a close. these are some of the more memorable pop reviews from this spring:

*all names have been changed

"world cup fever", air miami

sarah: when you hear this song, how do you feel?

william: i feel like i might say "hey hey" and i was thinking about a robot.

sarah: a robot?

william: there is voices of a robot and they are saying things of a robot.

sarah:  you're right...he does sound like a robot. are you going to watch the world cup?

william: i don't know. soccer is when you hit the ball with your foot but i don't know why you hit it with your foot.

"theme", all girl summer fun band

sarah:  what do you think of a band that is all girls?

alvin: i don't know what it's like to be a girl. but i think it's not that good.

sarah: why not? alvin: your mom puts pink nail polish on your foot and that smells nasty.

sarah:  do you have friends who are girls?

alvin: i don't need no woman to take care of me.

"that summer feeling", jonathan richman

sarah: are you happy that it's almost summer?

lashiqa: yeah. sarah:  what are you going to do this summer?

lashiqa:  uh...eat somethin', fireworks, go to the beach, chinese food, play and stuff.

sarah:  what do you think of this song? lashiqa:  good.  this song makes me want to jump in a big blue pool.

sarah:  do you have a summer feeling?

lashiqa:  no, i just have a feeling that i want some candy.

"something strange happens", allen clapp

sarah: has anything strange ever happened to you?
