Are your kids Hannah Montana fans? If they’re like my kids they must be. As we drive down the road we have to put in the HM CD and I hear the constant requests to play “number 1”, “number 7”, “number 9”, etc. Naturally, or unnaturally, over time I start to develop MY favorite HM songs. When they’re blurting our requests I’m thinking “Say this number or that number”, and as soon as I hear the one I want, I go to that one. Funny? Crazy? Weird? All the above. Nobody is more perplexed by this than me. Dude, I am old, and I am a dude. I listen to Kutless, Skillet, and occasionally some Metallica to keep it real. Hannah Montana?My wife laughs and jokes about this. We were at Blockbuster Video a few months back, we split up looking for our favorite movie genres so we could regroup and try to convince each other of which movies to get. At the regroup my wife shows me three different movies and then pulls out this comment, “OH…and I picked this out for you.” I was like cool, the wife is thinkin’ about MY tastes. Then she hands me the Hannah Montana movie case. VERY FUNNY! We gut laughed for a bit before I said, “Let’s get it.” J/K! We did not get it.
I am not the only “dad” to do this. I know this first hand. My friend Eric, with 4 kids, and I work together and were on a lunch/errand trip around town recently. With the radio on we cruise around talking and ranting like most guys do. We pull up to a stop light, stop, and we both catch ourselves humming a HM song on the radio. I said, “You too huh?” He was like “Yeah”, forlorn and depressed. “It’s OK dude, it’s OK” I said with love and sincere compassion. We chuckled for a sec and then cleared our throats, stuck our chests out, and quickly changed the subject. The light turned green, we burned the tires like guys do, got to cruising speed as fast as possible, and put the whole conversation behind us.I say oh well, what can you do? I love my kids and I want them to hear kid music. It just happens to be kinda catchy. FYI…I have NO Hannah Montana songs on my iPhone playlists…seriously…just Miley Cyrus. J

I can sing all the lyrics to "If We Were A Movie"
GO HANNAH MONTANA
This has got to be the saddest thing I've ever read. :)
I hear you on the request but my guys are all into Skillet, TFK, Piller - I could go on for days. We are going to see Skillet and Thousand Foot Krutch next weekend. Go see them live - that'll kick Hannah Montana out of your head. hehehe Score one for the wife.
there is nothing wrong with Hannah Montana...absolutely nothing (said the mom that has four little girls in her car) I listened to it all the way to Clatskanie to get my hair done.....and I was all by myself LOL!
Joanna it is totally sad. :-) I guess with a 6 year old girl in the family it's just a fact. I didn't choose this fate. I am a victim here looking for someone to blame. LOL...
Dave I would probably know that song if I heard it but I only know the songs by their number on the CD.
Tanya, I remember when I had hair.
