A couple of nights ago we were watching this new TV show called "Once Upon A Time" which is a family show where modern day meets fairy tales. There was a scene at the start where the heroine calmly follows her target, a guy who owes her. As she strides down the street this song starts. And my kids just start dancing and singing along. My kids might listen to all those horrible sounds from America's Got Talent and Glee but they also love the sound of the Black Keys. And this is the song that got them interested.
I was trawling Youtube when I came across the film clip. As usual Ruby was lurking behind me in the background. Saw the film clip. Heard the song. Suddenly we were all watching the film clip using the Apple TV. What a fantastic film clip it is too. Not really appropiate for kids but I guess they've seen it all before. The modern medium is inescapable. Anyway it's the song they wanted to hear. And then we were watching other Black Keys film clips like Tighten Up where they fight in a kids playground. My kids were drawn to to the Black Keys raw blues meets pop sound. Now they've started listening to the White Stripes too. And Black Keys sound is so distinctive. When their songs come on TV shows my kids can spot them straight up. And their songs are on a lot of TV shows.
Actually my kids favourite Black Keys moment is the ad for Brothers, their album. This guy gets so excited his head explodes. They love that! Too much. I had to stop them watching it.
