float on is perhaps my favorite modest mouse song and among my favorite songs by any artist. i have listened to it hundreds of times. i turn it up entirely too loudly when it comes on in the car. i have the urge to sing along when it comes on in bars, and i heard it in the bathroom at a mall in st. louis last year and audibly yelped with happiness.

go to itunes, search for “kidz bop float on”. i can’t tell if i am laughing or crying right now.

yes, its true. kidz bop, that album series that has a children’s choir redo pop songs apparently did their disservice to float on last year. so appropriate for those 8-12 year olds out there…

I backed my car into a cop car the other day.
Well he just drove off, sometimes life’s OK.
I ran my mouth off a bit too much, oh what did I say?
Well you just laughed it off, it was all OK.

And we’ll all float on OK.
And we’ll all float on anyway.

Well, a fake Jamaican took every last dime with that scam.
It was worth it just to learn from sleight of hand.
Bad news comes don’t you worry even when it lands.
Good news will work its way to all them plans.
We both got fired on exactly the same day,
well, we’ll float on good news is on the way.

And we’ll all float on OK.

Alright already, we’ll all float on.
No, don’t you worry. We’ll all float on.
Alright, I’m ready. We’ll all float on.
even if things end up a bit too heavy.
Don’t worry, we’ll all float on.
Even if things get heavy, we’ll all float on.

maybe next they’ll do black cadillacs?

we were done done done with all the….

hehe. now THAT would be funny.
