I'm sure this is a common trait among Aspergians who love music...Track Memorization. The following video of The Elder showcases his singing talent to Track #2 of the They Might Be Giants album Here Come the ABC's. The Hub is a huge TMBG fan and we even got to see them in concert, stageside, at the Bijou Theatre in Knoxville. That was pretty awesome. The Hub got to see them again in Market Square. So when this album came out he was quick to purchase it. We have been subjecting The Elder to both the CD and the DVD ever since then. His favorite song at first was "The Alphabet Lost and Found." We had to replay that one over and over again. But now he pretty much has the entire soundtrack lyrics memorized. The difference now is he is singing it (not just letting the words come out of his mouth in some random tune or non-tune, whichever the case may be). I've been trying to capture this on video for weeks now but today The Elder finally got all the way through it (with visual aid for focus - he successfully did not sing my to-do list on the right half of the page), and The Younger wasn't louder than the music. Enjoy the Show! (You may need to turn your speakers up.)

THAT'S MY BOY!!!!!!!
There's a wiki article on the Alphabet of Nations, it's here , no right HERE
Aside: When I saw them live in Market Square, they played this song... being slightly buzzed, I called the house WAYYYY past bedtime to get The Elder up to hear the song. Unfortunately, the only thing that came across on voicemail was BLAH BLAH BLAH SSSSHHHH BLAH BLAH BLAH... oh well... guess I will have to see them again.
Oooh, how beautiful is that?!?
We too have music (and movies) that we replay, and replay, and replay...
(need I say anymore?)

Love the Advent hat, Jen! K.
Yup, we have track memorization here too! Lol.
Joshua remembers track numbers too. He will ask for a specefic song, and I will have to ask him what number it is!
He's so cute!
