Album Review: The Raging Idiots’ ‘The Raging Kidiots: Kiddy Up’
If you have kids, or even if you don’t, listen to The Raging Kidiots: Kiddy Up as a refresher on some of life’s simplest lessons.
Now most people reading this probably aren’t young kids who would willfully choose to listen to a children’s album, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t. Throughout The Raging Kidiots: Kiddy Up, Bobby Bones and Producer Eddie, from the nationally syndicated Bobby Bones Show, fill lyrics with important lessons and a catchy tune that is guaranteed to get stuck in your head and remember what you learned, no matter how old you are.
Topics covered on the project include silly themes like potty training and recess, while others serve as a reminder to be a decent human, like in tracks “Be Nice,” “Bad Manner Blues” and “Every Day is a Good Day.”
Bones and Producer Eddie have perfect voices for a kid’s record and let their silly tones add to the enjoyment of the music. “The Planet Song” is a prime example of this and is annoyingly catchy. There is a high chance of humming it under your breath all day long.
“The Ballad of Big Head Bobby” is a story song that resonates from Bones being picked on as a young lad that is reminiscent of The Ugly Duckling. And “Bad Manner Blues” carries a hilarious melody in the tune that serves as a reminder to use your best manners.
So if you have kids, or even if you don’t, listen to The Raging Kidiots: Kiddy Up as a refresher on some of life’s simplest lessons. And be sure to pay attention to the last track, “You’re Awesome,” for a special message from Bones himself. It sends a reminder to fans of all ages to believe in yourself and be a decent person in the eloquent way that will give you the motivation you may need to get through the day, in a way only Bones can.
