Predict a 3rd grader's musical tastes

Ok, so here's how it works. I'll be posting songs that my little cousin likes, and you will suggest other songs (in youtube format) that you think he will like based on what I present you.

If he likes it, you get a point. If he doesn't you lose a point. Grading will be subjective to my observations, and...keep in mind that the music is the only thing that the test sub - i mean my beloved little cousin will hear. Also keep in mind that he won't necessarily listen to the whole thing - make sure the first 20 seconds are good :V

Try to keep the youtubes sfw ^__^

Whatdayaknow, contrary to what I said over IRC he says he likes the song now.

"Do you like this song?"

"Yeah"

"How much?"

"5 hundred million."

"Enough to put on your playlist (90 and growing)"

"no" *continues watching fairly oddparents*


klimt I tried yours but he started balking immediately. It was more of a "WTF STOP MAKING ME LISTEN TO SONGS" kind of whine than objective listening (probably due to the fact that it's lol6 minutes long and he had to go somewhere) so I will continue when I get home in maybe 4 hours.

*edit* Ibun has one point now, grats ^___^

OK I have a few more done but I literally had three tests that were announced and administered this week (I have anohter in 2 hours) and will post what results I got sometime this evening.

Ok test ended early SO I will update NOW
Voted liked ¯\(°_o)/¯ I dunno the quality was kinda lame soall we could hear were some instrumentals, it went well with some flash swords and sandals game he was playing :o ffff I even liked it to some degree D: Granted we only listened to the first few minutes so v0v +1 to to you
Voted liked, though it took me awhile to get him to listen to this :V It's very difficult to get a third grader to do what YOU want and keep his attention straight for a good while.

To be fair, he did listen to the whole thing (amazingly), but he said he didn't like it that much :(
I left him alone with this to go raid the cookie jar (literally). I was VERY hungry after going 8 hours with no food and a 20 minute walk, so I couldn't wait for my meatballs and crackers to warm up. Before I could ask, though, I noticed that the three minute song was playing six minutes later, when aforementioned cookies were eaten (and the meatballs were getting cold).

"What, are you listening to it again?"

"Yeah, this song is cool I added it to my playlist"

I think that deserves +2

I can't possibly predict the reaction to this.
