Superkids.com has a hangman game that my youngest daughter likes to play when she wants to kill some time. And since we weren't going anywhere with all the ice on the ground, she was killing some time in the Rock and Metal category.

All the answers ended up being bands like Blue Oyster Cult, Iron Butterfly, Boston, Deep Purple, Bad Company, Journey, Alice Cooper, etc. It was amazing. I fully expected her to turn to me and say (playing the part of Opus), “Dan Fogelburp? Who the hell is DAN FOGELBURP?!?”

Even the kids of a music junkie like myself don’t go around humming “Don’t Fear the Reaper” or “Smoke on the Water”. How old are these people? It’s a kids website, fer chrissake! Couldn’t they find anything at least a decade more contemporary? Motley Crüe? Guns-n-Roses?

So later I went over and tried the Alternative Rock category to see what popped up. The first puzzle answer? Deep Purple. Not kidding. The next one? Bananarama. Next? The GoGo’s. Then The Clash (that’s ok, I want my kids to know about The Clash). Oh oh oh! The next one’s the best! Limp Bizkit. I'm so embarassed for them.
