This post brought to you by the number 5: 5 hours and counting in a car with an unhappy baby and the letters P and S, for Parental desperation and Screen time.

Great! My 2-year-old is currently obsessed with the muppets version of Bohemian Rhapsody (he runs around the house screaming MAMAAAAA as a result) so maybe this will add a bit of variety to his puppet-music playlist.

I feel sad that this wasn't around five years ago when I was at "Rock of Ages" in Vegas with my sibs-in-law.

This. Is. PERFECT.

The love of the 80s and the music shines through.

Holy hell! Amazing. I just started playing 80s music for the babies at work. They seem to dig "Walking on Sunshine"
