The neighbor child seems to be singing "Eye of the Tiger" very loudly. It took me a minute to place it, because I'm not used to hearing it performed in five-year-old soprano, but now it's making me giggle.

Rising up!/
jammies with feets!/
Got my trucks and I got my Wii/
now I'm gonna go build a fort!

It's the Eye of the Tiger!/
its Cocoa Krispies!/
it's the best time to watch/
all my favorite stuff on tee-vee!

And if Mom ever finds out what I did/
with her stuff/
I'll be grounded for the rest of my li-iiife!

No more Eye of the Tiger!

Ha, that's cute. My kids love this song and sing it all of time. I wouldn't be surprised if your neighbor has Guitar Hero or Rock Band II, or whatever they call it. That's how my kids learned it.

My kids also love Hot Blooded by Foreigner. It's a little disconcerting to hear them sing, "come on baby do you do more than dance..."

Ahhhhhh, that makes sense. It did seem a bit of a weird choice.

My personal top-of-the-lungs favorite around that age was KC and the Sunshine Band.

i LIKE it (uh huh uh huh)
