Explained to my boys that we were listening to “a banger” in the car the other day and now they obsessively review each song that comes on the radio when we are driving. “Is this a banger?” “This IS a banger”.

Sadly, Toca’s Miracle was found to be “not a banger”.

Wizzard’s Oh I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day? Certified banger.

Bad to the Bone by George Thorogood and the Destroyers = banger.

Love Me Like You Do by Ellie Goulding - BANGER. They were very insistent on this.

About You Now by Sugababes - not a banger

Call Me by Go West - Banger

Somewhere in My Heart by Aztec Camera - BEING BORN BANGER (was playing as T2 was born)

Missing by Everything But The Girl - “Dat’s my favourite banger”

The Avalanches - Frankie Sinatra

Janet Jackson - Nasty

Musical Youth - Pass the Dutchie

All MASSIVE dance on the kitchen table bangers. Their enthusiasm may be in part because they know they should be in bed so everything is now a banger that they MUST dance to immediately.

Justin Bieber - I Don’t Care = turn it up banger.

Mood by Traeh

T1: “it’s a banger! Ya just gotta SHAKE IT”

T2: “no”

Callaita - Bad Bunny & Tainy = “sleepy banger”. (Not sure what they mean by this? Makes them sleepy or that it’s a quiet, unassuming banger? Will ask when they are older than three)

I’d Do Anything - Oliver! Cast = banger. (I mean come on, they get to shout WHAT FISTICUFFS)

10am news headlines about the SA variant in Surrey: not a banger.

Tyrannosaurus Rex by Pinkfong - banger.

Mummy would like to strongly disagree.

Good as Hell by Lizzo: BANGER.

The perfect song for nursery drop off as we enter a week of beauty appts and shops and SEEING MATES and eating not out of a cardboard box.

(Particularly love T2 singing “CHECK MA NAILS” fabulously)
