Molly Song of the Week - Anya Marina - All the Same to Me

Part of the ongoing series of 'Molly Songs': a weekly look featuring songs that our children will love, but more importantly parents can enjoy as well.

Last January, I downloaded the iTunes free video of the week: Anya Marina -'All the Same to Me'.  It was somewhat of a guilty pleasure of mine to listen to in the beginning.  It has a catchy pop rhythm (piano) & beat (clapping and up-right bass), and it has great use of a seemingly 1 part horn section.  Best of all is the soft sensuous voice singing the tune.   If you watch the video it's even better as the attractive Anya Marina, leads a circus troupe turned band for rousing performance of her single 'All the Same to Me'.

If I lost you in the description, head to her site http://www.anyamarina.com/videos.php to catch her as a temptress adult store employee covering T.I.'s 'Whatever You Like'.

If you liked the description of the song so far, and want to hear how this could possibly pass as kid music, read (&listen) on:


Let's start with a copy of the song, I found on Soundcloud.com
Anya Marina - 'All the Same to Me'
Anya marina - all the same to me by Kikito

The lyrics are really the tie breaker on whether this could be kid appropriate.  It has the simplest of lyrics.  They are very repetitive, which is great for young singers to catch on to and to like a song.  And as you read through or listen you notice it steals from kid stories as well: "Eenie Meenie Miney Moe, Eyie Eyie Eyie Oh"

Excerpt from 'All the Same To Me' by Anya Marina  I won't run
When the sky turns to flame
And I sure won't budge
When the earth does shake
When the flood comes up
I will dance in the rain
'Cause it's all the same to me

Somebody care
Somebody care
Somebody care for me
Somebody care
Somebody care
Somebody care for me

And it's all I live for
The air I breathe
So it's all the same to me
Yeah, it's all the same to me

Eenie Meenie Miney Moe
Eyie Eyie Eyie Oh

Where you
Where you
Where you go
Well, it's all the same to me

Eenie Meenie Miney Moe
I won't holler, let me go

Young Molly loves to watch this video. She bobs her head to the beat and loves to watch the flashy costumes.  While you check out the video, you can be the judge: Kid worthy or not?
