Stand Back, Taio Cruz

Visiting my niece (2 yrs old) and nephew (4 yrs old) and one of the best parts is listening to them sing along with the music…I’ve heard such classics as “Black to Life” (otherwise known as “Back to Life” from Soul II Soul)* and Taio Cruz’s “Dynamite.” Although, Cruz sings that “I throw my hands up in the air sometimes, saying AYO gotta let go” whereas my niece and nephew have (in my opinion) drastically bettered the song lyrics with “I throw my hands up in the air sometimes, saying Eggo, gotta leggo.” *Proving adaptation is, in this case, the grandmother of invention, my mother (who’s never heard the original song) has decided it’s “Black to White” a skillful melding of MJ and SIIS that will one day rock the music world.
