Star Trek the Next Generation...er..umm..I mean Lundren Trek the Next Generation.

I wonder if all you little Lundgren boys and girls remember the summer we moved here to good ol Utah from Cali. Do you remember our theme song? I remember it well."The Final Countdown" by the group Europe. I remember cleaning out our house in Roseville and listening to this song over and over again. Well some things don't really change I guess and I have on my music playlist this song as well as "Carrie". I like to crank up the volume on the speakers and clean my house to this as well as other nostalgic music. (The last laugh belongs to Matt, I gave him such a hard time when I was young and now I listen to "his type of music" of my own free will and choice) Anyways I was going through my playlists tonight and adding some more music to it, when my cute little 3 year old came to me and said. " I want to listen to the finny downtown song, go to the finny downtown song now! Mommy!"
Needless to say I had no clue what the "finny downtown song" was and told him I didn't know what he wanted. So here we are mother and son having a hardtime understanding each other. I kept asking him was in a movie or show that you watched? He kept saying yes to ALL my yes and no questions I asked him. His description was the finny downtown song that the daddy sings in the church (In my mind I'm thinking some cute sesame street song or primary song.) Okay so we go through all little kid songs that I have. Nope! Poor little William is getting frustrated and so is his mother! Okay so maybe he means some theme from a movie or something, (he does love the Superman theme, Spiderman theme and the Harry Potter theme) so I go through all my soundtrack playlists,.....Nope! Okay so now it has gone past frustration to obsession! I NEED to know what my little boy is trying to communicate to me. I asked him if it was like Billy Joel or Elton John. He says yeah a daddy like Billy Joel. Ohhhhh, I get it.He is just saying that it is a man who sings the song. Well at least I can narrow it down by half! Now I just randomly go through my older music, Europe is actually close to the beginning of my "nostalgic music" so after a few clicks.....Eureka!....oops I mean Europe (ha ha bad play on words). The song begins and William starts to jump up and down... "Yeah Yeah you found it, the finny downtown song Yes (punches the air with his little fist) Iknew you could do it Mommy!"
I respond with Ohhh duh it makes perfect sense..... the finny downtown song.....The Final Countdown. Ha Ha I about fall out of my chair laughing, and William just starts to sing along with the music, than proceeds to listen to it again and again and again and yet again untill William's Daddy says thats enough! So what a way to spend quality time with my son. Yeah it took all of about three hours. Is my kid stubborn or what? Oh wait I think he gets it from Lundgren side, is all my husband says to me.

p.s. William loves this song so much now (I would like to think that it is because of our bonding moment....I mean hour...) He just HAD to listen to it one more time right before bed. Man!
