I’m with Jerry on this one the song is a classic. Now I love me a good Prince song, and that breakout guitar riff at the beginning is enough to get me throwing up some jazz hands. If a picture’s worth a thousand words, then the expression on his daughter’s face is worth about ten thousand words… of pure tween agony. And by “educate”, we mean: force them to listen to Prince’s “When Doves Cry” while trapped in his car. So Jerry decided to educate his girls on what great music really is. While Jerry may be viewed as a successful celebrity actor to the world, to Dolly and Charlie, he’s just DAD.Īnd like most kids, the girls think their Dad’s taste in music is lame (or whatever cool word kids are using nowadays). They have twin 9-year-old daughters: Dolly Rebecca Rose & Charlie Tamara Tulip. Little Vern grew up nicely, & ended marrying former model Rebecca Romijn.

Actor Jerry O’Connell posted a clip of himself on Twitter trying to get his kids to appreciate “good” music, and every parent totally gets it.įirst of all, I’m a diehard fan of Jerry’s ever since he played sweet naive Vern in the movie “Stand By Me”, because, hello- I’m an 80s kid! Jerry’s had a consistent career since, appearing in various sitcoms and movies, and even has his own show, Jerry O.

In fact, some celebrities are even getting in on it. Bismillah, baby!)īut apparently I’m not the only parent who feels the need to school my kids on GOOD music. (At least I think she said that, but it was hard to hear her as I sang along to Bohemian Rhapsody’s operatic section. In fact, just this very morning on the drive to school, my 10-year-old was actually angry at me because “you listen to the world music in the world, Mom. And if I want to sing along with The Bangles about it, too bad, kiddo! If I want to walk like an Egyptian, then I’ll do what I damn well please, because I’m the mom. Or torturing them with it, as my 10-year-old daughter puts it.

If I’m in my car alone, you can bet I’m shrieking (I’d say “singing”, but I’m not sure my sounds qualify) along to anything circa 1995 or prior.Īnd when my kids are in the car with me… you can bet I’m subjecting them to my music, too.
