Maroon 5 is a hit among the under 10 years-old crowd

Maroon5's "Makes me wonder" is indeed a catchy tune, but, BY BLOG! I have just now ticked the tenth time I've listened to this song today.

In my home, MTV has no relevance whatsoever with my kids. YouTube is where the music video action. At first I thought there was some bizarre reason for their obsession with this song.

Then I observed what they were doing and I got it: One of their favorite things about YouTube are the music videos and mashups made with games and movie previews. The mashup "It's raining 300 men" is incredibly popular with my kids and their friends.

So it's no wonder they are playing Makes Me Wonder, while playing SoulCalibur 2. The song and the tempo are perfect for the kind of combat movement the characters indulge in. Also, the story line that you can create with that game goes perfect with the song. SoulCalibur involves characters who seem to have complex relationships with each other, in a way that involes 'breaking each other's hearts' by entering in combat.

Check out the lyrics to the song and you'll see what I mean:
