As my wife and I attended our youngest daughter’s final holiday choir concert as a middle schooler, we listened as three different soloists sang “Let It Go.”
Our daughter wasn’t one of them.
It was quite possibly our proudest moment as parents.
Just a random moment of parental pride

Ha! This is the best, the best, the best.
“Let It Go” is the new “Someone Like You,” which was the new “My Heart Will Go On.”
Oh great, now I’m going to have “My Heart Will Go On” moaning through my head all day.
Ugh!!
I hope you’re “Happy!”
Ha! This is awesome. Merry Ho Ho Ned!
Thank you, and a Merry Ho-Ho to you as well, Lynn! 😉
The song never bothered me anyway.
Then you have truly learned to let it go.
The kids knows what the public wants… and doesn’t want.
You’re here; there’s nothing I fear.
Just as long as I’m not THERE, right?
Ha, you’re right, though you and the Missus are welcome to visit any time. Better visit the north central U. S. in the summer though, unless you like every bit of the world to be cold and covered in white.
We truly appreciate the invite. If we makee it out your way, I promise we’ll call first. Probably from the driveway.
*Crack me up*
I.AM.SO.SICK.OF.FROEN.I.COULD.BARF! If I hear “Let it Go” one more time….Grrr. I love Disney…REALLY! But my Lord, they can take a good thing and make it the most irritating thing in the world !!!
I’m happy for you that your daughter wasn’t one who sang it either! 🙂
FROZEN….LOL!
You could literally hear the audience at the choir concert groan when they announced the song choice!
Oh, thank God:). Our recent talent show featured somewhere between 3-8 versions. I lost count. Hard to believe, eh? 🙂
YIKES! I’m so sorry you had to go through that 😦
yes, yes, yes.
Are you pleased now Beth that parents are getting a taste of your daily world? Ha! 😀
Thank goodness my girl grew up before Frozen.
As it stands, “Hakuna Matata” is the only song that remains…it actually comes in handy some days!
I have no problem whatsoever with the Hakuna Matata song. Although I have to admit, at first I thought it said “Hanukah Matata,” which would’ve been something else entirely. Oy!
Oh goodness! Knowing me, i misspelled. Uffda!
Oh wait…I’ve working with my North Dakota friends again.
Dont worry; it’s in da past!
I would like to here Let It Go sung as part of The Yellow Snow Suite….
Girls: Let it go, let it go
Boys: Watch out where the huskies go
Girls: Can’t hold it back any more
Boys: And don’t you eat that yellow snow
I’m thinking “Frozen 2: Urine Trouble”
YEAH!!!!
Olaf needs his own movie — “Olaf Hears a Poo”
Frozen is the most illogical movie Disney ever made… seriously… there are so many flaws in it and yet everyone raves like it’s the greatest thing since slice bread… what’s worse is that in a fantasy/fairy tale class I’m taking in college I had to watch it… again… our teacher said we got to watch a movie in that category and everyone voted for Frozen… worst day ever…
I can’t believe they’d pick that movie.
I think it may be time to let that class go.
You know Ned, as a single adult who doesn’t listen much to pop music, I hadn’t heard that song before, so I checked it out. I hate to tell you this, but i was impressed. There is a shitload of adult symbolism in it. For instance when the ice bridge was created as she crossed it, that is the newest leadership description in business. They actually teach that in B-school as an indication of leadership – when your employees will follow you across a bridge that isn’t built yet. The change of clothes to a “queen’s” dress when her attitude and perspective changed is also an indicator – leadership comes fromthe inside out and when it reaches the outside, you will start to even look like a leader. The ice castle built out of an empty snow-covered mountain is showing the ability to create beauty and functionality from what others see as useless and forsaken. I could go on.
Sorry, I babble – truly an interesting song. I know – I’m weird. AND I don’t have to see and listen to it over and over, sung in a little out-of-tune voice. Sounds like a personal problem to me – Bwahahaha!
I see what you’re getting at, Paul, and you’ clearly operating on a different intellectual plane. Just as long as you’re not operating any plane I happen to be flying on.;)
Bwahaha! Have you ever watched the Discover Channel’s program “Mayday”? I was the inspiration. **puffs out chest and struts off**
Ha! No, I haven’t seen it. But if it’s called “Mayday” I can see the connection 😉
Ha! It’s a one hour program about true plane crashes and the subsequent investigation by the NTSB or their equivalent in other counries and the final report on each that describes the cause of the crash. So far I’ve learned 317 ways to crash a modern airliner – it makes flying a much more adenaline laced adventure! My favorite so far is the Canadian Geese (a touch of home) that flew into the engines of a plane departing New York – forcing the plane to land on the Hudson. It was a favorite because there were no injuries (except of course for the geese), a very uncommon outcome of a modern plane crash. And the picture of all the passengers lounging on the wings of the plane as it floated down the Hudson.
I remember that crash — or emergency landing! Had our Homeland Security been in place then, Canada probably would’ve been aded to the terrorist threat watchlist
Reblogged this on Logan Keys Fiction and commented:
LOL so funny
It was a proud day for me too when my 6-year-old shunned this song. I thought to myself: well, this kid has a chance!
Your daughter gives me hope 😉
Oh god, I remember these little concerts as a kid and even then I was thinking “I’m gonna hate when I have kids and have to watch these.”
Happy new year!

It wouldn’t be so bad if there was a no-host bar available. Maybe with ear plugs instead of cocktail olives?
Then again, I know I’ll be wishing I could have this years back at some point.
Probably… 😉
