South Park. You know the show...the one with the animated 4th graders who tend to cuss alot. In the "Casa Bonita" episode, Butters sings the Chicago song in his out-of-tune, high-pitched, nasal voice: "...but if you leave me now, you'll take away the biggest part of me...ooooo-oooooo-ooooOOOO-OOOooo-girl-baby- please don't go..." I love this clip so much that I downloaded it onto my laptop.

Anyways, when Michelle does Kick Counts, it takes about an average of 6 minutes for Embry to move and kick 10 times. One day last week, Embry was taking a bit longer to kick, so Michelle asked me to talk to him with the hope of making him more active. So I started talking to him. And in addition to that, I started to play the Butters clip. I also sang along with Butters. I think there was something with the high pitch that made Embry start rockin and a rollin, because he started to groove so much he wouldn't stop. As a result, Kick Count completed.
A few days later, Michelle is laying flat in the chair at the orthodontist's office. She's getting her braces torn off of her now-straight teeth. So, picture if you will, Michelle's pregnant belly in plain view of the assistant. When the original Chicago starts to play in the overhead speakers..."But if you leave me now, you'll take away the biggest part of me...." Michelle's stomach starts churnin' because Embry apparently hears the music and starts to groove. The assistant had to stop what she was doing and say "oh, my" as she watched the turbulent belly.
From what I could tell, Embry has a really diverse taste in music. He likes the Beastie Boys, Chicago, Mussorgsky, and BNL. When I've played old-school Metallica, Embry does move around quite a bit, but Michelle says that it's because he hates Metallica and is trying to get away from the "horrendous music". I think it's because he's headbanging along to "Whiplash" and "Damage, Inc."
