Re: Pete's Lyrics....

Speaking of Mr. T's lyrics.
I was driving with my almost 5 year old 
daughter the other day and we were listening to the WHO, as usual. 
I'm One came on and I happened to look in the rear view and
saw Alexa singing along with Pete.  She realized that I was
watching and said "I know the words to your music daddy"
I just think it may be her music too.
