Moves Like Jagger

Overplayed?

Yep.

The musical equivalent of a cow with diction?

Yep.

Catchy?

Yep.

Sung by the super-attractive Maroon 5 front man Adam Levine?

Yep.

Still, the song would likely have gone the way of so many catchy here-today-gone-tomorrow hits.

Except that on the way home from the Fife Family Halloween Party the other night, the song came on the radio, and we heard Dylan - little non-verbal, barely ever makes a noise Dylan - singing.

Just in case he ever becomes a famous musician someday, I thought I'd better document that someday when we say, "He sang before he was even talking," we mean it absolutely literally.

It was, of course, better in the car.  Spontaneously adorable.  But I helped him re-create it for posterity.  To try to get him in the mood, I YouTube'd the video.  He was so excited about showing me his "moves like Jagger" that it was a bit tricky to get him to sing again.  But here it is.  At least sorta.  Hopefully enough for me to never forget the first time I really heard his little voice.
