My 2 and a half year old daughter enjoys watching MTV, mostly because they "dance," but her favorite is David Lee Roth. She calls him "Bozie Bop" from a line in "Just a Gigolo." It doesn't matter if he's being interviewed or is in a music video, if he's on, she says "Bozie Bop." Is this unnatural? Every time we watch MTV, she wants me to make them show "Bozie Bop."

I'm afraid your daughter has the musical taste of a two and a half year old. I take it from your message that you have watched MTV, so you must realize that Roth's antics are more amusing and much less intellectually challenging than those of Bozo the Clown. -- Charles Forsythe CSDF@MIT-VAX "I'm looking for the joke with a microscope." -Iggy Pop

Repeating one or more words from a song, book, etc. doesn't seem that odd or unnatural. I have a friend whose father is an English lit professor; he used to read her whatever classics he was working on for her bedtime story. Any way, she remembers liking the sound of Canterbury Tales, read to her in Middle English of course, and would ask her father to read "to the roote" (a line in the General Prologue).
