You really have to ignore the content of the song’s lyrics on this one because it will take a sharp and dangerous turn from the charming and cute to the uneasy and prosecutable. “Your honor, my client is–oh who am I kidding, lock him up.” Two adorable children talking about using their sexuality to ruin someone’s relationship? DON’T WORRY ABOUT IT! THEY HAVE EMPTY BUTTER CONTAINERS ON THE ONES AND TWOS! Very cute. Go to bed, Taran Killam. Call your bed, tell her that you have to sleep. (Via Videosift.)

I can’t think of one acceptable reason for a person to name their daughter Lennon.
Maybe they’re one of those families where they have the tradition of naming their first born kid whatever the mother’s maiden name is?
I said ACCEPTABLE reason.
Ironically, her sister Ringo is completely untalented.
UNironically
no matter how silly the man is – and how could you not be with the name ‘Ringo’? – he is a fucking capital-G God behind the kit. listen to “Anna,” “In My Life,” “Instant Karma,” or any beat he played on “All Things Must Pass,” and try and tell me otherwise.
Maybe it was to be nice and take some heat off “Maisy?”
Maybe their last name is John, and so on many form it will read as John, Lennon, and she will be a crushing disappointment to everyone she ever meets by virtue of inadvertent false advertising.
True, but at least her name isn’t Brooklyn.
I saw this yesterday and it just made me cranky. I hate it when kids are more talented than I am. Boo! Give me your butter container percussion skills, you dumb kids!
I know what you mean. I’ve studied for YEARS to be able to say the darnedest things, and kids with no experience can still do it much better than me!
My years of training at the Tisch butter container percussion program are FOR NAUGHT.
I can’t believe it’s not a good career move!
Butter container percussion at Tisch? Well la-di-da.
I’m fancy like that. But apparently it DOESN’T MATTER when you’ve got young maverick butter container percussionists out there taking all the hard earned butter container percussion jobs away from us classically trained types. No one truly cares about the technique anymore, man.
where are your furry tops? WHERE ARE YOUR FLORAL LEGGINGS?! STEP IT UP, AMETEURS.
Is there a name for that voice that girls/women try to sing with to be indie? Feist invented it, maybe, or at least continued to use it? It’s like the Adam Sandler Baby-Voice of Music and I hate it…maybe a stereogummer can help me out here
I agree that it’s the most annoying voice. It’s the female equivalent of the talking donkey voice of every shitty male rock singer since 1998. To be fair, this girl pulls it off gallantly if you do enjoy that sort of voice.
I see your point, but I think that in this case they should get a pass. I mean, yeah their voices are childlike, but they do appear to be human children, so it makes sense this time.
And I always just thought it was the lady equivalent to john mayer, which I have dubbed ‘pervy voice’
Fair points guys, I guess I just wish that today’s youth were creating their OWN unique styles…like this video I found of a 12 year old girl nailing this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXBXlJYKTNI
That is awesome
“Needs more percussion” – Paula Dean
“No relation.”
-Paula Deen
Those are some nice mics. Makes me think they could have afforded more high end percussion devices. But great job Lennon and Maisy! You have beautiful voices.
They were going to get better percussion devices, but then they thought “What Would Zooey Do?”
she’d ask Siri.
Yes, it’s impressive for children to pull this off I suppose, but these ladies (called ‘Erato?’) already did a cover of “Call Your Girlfriend” using butter containers. http://youtu.be/mNE9bUa2D0c
I think that was their inspiration. The video’s title is “Call Your Girlfriend Robyn/Erato cover.”
Oh, ok. I forgive them for their childish ways then.
Snark aside, if more young women and girls idolized Robyn over Katy Perry, Ke$ha et al., I’d be totally okay with that.
is your name a reference to Dexter season 6?
No, it’s a reference to 30 Rock season 3.
aw man, i couldn’t stop listening to the lyrics! somebody call la policia!
Tommy’s rendition was a lot better.
… a lot butter…
Wow, the comments on YouTube:
“I had the pleasure of seeing them sing this song at their school a couple of weeks ago ~
The gymnasium was loud with people talking, kids running around up and down on bleachers, etc., The second they began…….SILENCE leveled the room.
Their Mom had told me what they were going to be doing, but I really couldn’t wrap my head around it.
I sat there with tears streaming down my face ~ so moved by that performance .
Lennon & Maisy I love you more than words could ever describe”
(“couldn’t wrap my head around it”???)
at least its not “afternoon delight”
Hey, reffering to all earlier comments, Lennon is a freakin’ awesome name! Uh, hello? John Lennon, practically the best guy that ever lived? And there’s nothing wrong with these lyrics!?
And, well, I think that playing with butter containers is REALLY COOL. Inventive! Erato did it first and aced it, these girls did it just as good. Watching Erato do it, it really is something that should be acknowledged, they manage to perfectly get the tapping of the containers in sync. So awesome!
I think these girls are amazing <3 Lennon's voice is stunning, and they beautiful music they make is just awesome! Despite what anyone says, I think Lennon and Maisy are really awesome, they're so much better than all that crappy pop music these days!! I love you guys! <3 <3
