I don't think they would imply negative connotations about the tunes
to the kids before they played the songs. I mean, I don't know how
the "experiment" was conducted, but that doesn't seem to be a good
way to go about it.
Why? Did you think the comments were too negative? These were six &
seven year-olds, remember. I was listening to the New Mickey Mouse
Club at that age (I had a crush on Nita). I probably wouldn't have
had too many nice things to say about "classic rock" songs when I was
seven, either.
