This cradle hath already been rocked
Sorry to go back to the Rock The Cradle thing again (the story just won’t die!), but I still don’t understand why my favorite singer in the world, Ben Taylor, son of James Taylor and Carly Simon, didn’t sign up to be a contestant. He’s madd chill. And he totally owns a MacBookPro.
As well as a trampoline (boing!)
Plus, he’s got an Ab Gazebo that his dad built for him. (Best 30th birthday present ever!!! )
Ben Taylor has written some great songs done so many crunches in that gazebo.
This song is on his myspace. It’s Ben Taylor’s version of Snoop Dogg’s “Sensual Seduction,” screwed & chopped & folk-tified.
I like the little laugh at the very end. You can almost see him rolling his eyes like, “Silly black people…” He should go on tour with these guys.
Anyway, I’m sure his parents are really proud of him. Totally met all expectations. I suppose that’s why he didn’t feel the need to go on MTV. He doesn’t have anything to prove to anyone, least of all his girlfriend (who some say is the prettiest girl in the universe).
Seriously though, Ben Taylor’s version of “Sensual Seduction” is actually pretty awesome as an Alvin and the Chipmunks dance arrangement.
Ben Taylor? More like Ben T-Pain…lor. Or something. Right? No? I agree. Sorry.

I wish that the song that didn’t follow that one on MySpace wasn’t about date rape.
I also wish that he didn’t look like Ernest. Fucks up my stomach.

Ben probably opted out of the show. I’m actually working on it right now and I know they approached a whole bunch of rock star kids and several decided against it, either for personal reasons or because they had prior commitments. The show has been pretty interesting nevertheless, check it out on Thursday night at 10/9c
