The Ladies Baby Beyoncé

Posted by Charles Mudede on Fri, Sep 25, 2009 at 3:46 PM

Behold the power of pop:

Before he/she has learned a single word or how to take a shit in the bathroom, that baby knows everything about Beyoncé.

Same thing happened with me and Tina Turner in about 196something.

No biggie. I can dance.

Behold the weakness of this song's bridge. Even a two-year-old knows to sit it out.

Isn't that one of the best videos of all time?

Posted by Paulikin on September 25, 2009 at 4:14 PM

I don't know if it tops Benatar's "Love is a Battlefield" but yes, it's a good one.

Kanye was right.

Mommy & daddy are so proud of their brainless bouncing baby.

"Love is a Battlefield" was so great. The colorful rags, the Readers' Digest lyrics, the middle-aged ladyness of it all gave me hope for my future.

I'm so fucking tired of seeing this being posted EVERYWHERE- facebook, emails, new, blogs, and now the slog? ? are you fucking kidding me? its a baby, that does what babies do. there's nothing special or funny about this video. its not even cute. stupid, stupid baby.

kid's either going to be gay or dating nothing but black, interracial, and latino girls who love him b/c he'll have rhythm.

Should toddler's wear a necklace? That seems odd.

Posted by Jack Ryan on September 25, 2009 at 5:42 PM

Wait, THAT is the video Kanye shat his brains about?! That video is banal! The song is horrible and the dancing is just repetitive as hell.

@11 where the fuck have you BEEN the past 11 months when that video had been endlessly played, parodied, and the choreography learned by all?

Posted by Mattini on September 25, 2009 at 6:04 PM

@11- I'll agree with you on the song itself but credit where it's due; Beyonce is an impressive dancer, and it takes significant skill to pull off some of those dance moves off well.

Posted by Beguine on September 25, 2009 at 6:22 PM

@12 Not watching music videos, would be my guess.

Wait, so "Put a ring on it" is "everything about Beyoncé"? You know, Charles, she's a human being.

Posted by Lee on September 25, 2009 at 8:33 PM

@10: I think the kid's just got some chub, not a necklace. Their head's tilted back watching B.

Posted by Jessica on September 25, 2009 at 9:52 PM

I don't get why everybody's been shitting their pants about Beyonce's video. Where the hell were you people in the '80s? Have you ever seen old MTV videos?

Posted by Greg on September 25, 2009 at 10:43 PM

I'm sure your own child would have danced to John Denver too.

There is something fundamentally human about dance and music. It’s fascinating to see a baby so absorbed with that song and those images. Music is in our genes. It hits us and entrances us before we can poop properly. This film shows us one of the cornerstones of human nature. And if you don’t think that’s cute, you should take your heart to one of those hotdog stands in front of bars on Pine street to get it thawed out over their little flame grills because you are unnaturally cold. It’s a real dancing baby for fuck’s sake. Be human.

God I hate babies!

Posted by What You Were Thinking on September 26, 2009 at 2:43 PM

See the hand and the head move black girl thing at 2:48! love it! I'm curious to see what this kid is like on the dance floor in 15 years time. I wish I knew if it was a boy or a girl. If it's a boy, def gay.

@8- srsly.

Posted by nixor on September 27, 2009 at 7:59 AM

You could show a thousand dancing babies, that song is still atrocious.

Posted by Mo on September 27, 2009 at 2:55 PM

my niece is more of a rock and roll baby. My brother is solely to blame for that. Anytime a rock song comes on she starts moving. She absolutely loves She Wants Revenge. I thought it was just the power of music. It influences even the youngest..
