Jemaine: "Bret, do you think it should it be, 'shake your booties, yeah' or 'shake your boobies, yeah'? Because when I think of 'shake your booties', I think of those little boots that babies wear. You know those little woolen boots that they wear?"
Looking at this Frankie Lee album you might think he says, "Why choose?" Babies like music - you know those Baby Einstein CDs are big. Plus, why limit yourself to just half the market? Why not make an album for children and adults? If you were hoping this would be that album - your wait is not over. With songs like, "Stoned, Cold & Blue" and "Nasty Stuff" this album doesn't cater to the kids the way the title implies (false advertising if you ask me.) The title and title track are in reference to trying to duck child support after a one night mistake. The rest of the album is listenable, I suppose - one listen should do. The highlight is obviously the cameo by Johnny "Guitar" Watson on "Stoned, Cold & Blue" although it gets largely washed out by the cheesy 80s synth pad. I don't know that it's enough to salvage this from the making it's way back to the $1 bin in the used record store, but at least it prompts an interesting discussion. Could an album made for children and adults be feasible or marketable?
