Mallory Ortberg asked her Twitter followers to share their stories about their dads’ music. People couldn’t wait to embarrass their fathers with silly memories.
@mallelis When I saw this in my dad's record collection, I realized I knew nothing about him. pic.twitter.com/1Vc4pIpHsu

Um, my parents had this one, too.
@mallelis also my dads ringtone (on a flip phone, of course). Ballad of the Green Berets.

What’s wrong with a flip phone?
@mallelis We had to buy my Dad a new Steely Dan Aja CD because he wore out the first one listening to it on repeat in his car.

Oh, I remember when that album came out. I wore the grooves down.
@mallelis The soundtrack to my childhood holidays to Scotland was Fleetwood Mac's Tusk, and only Tusk, for what seemed like years and years.

You have to laugh, and wonder what your kids will say about your taste in music someday. But the winner winner chicken dinner was this Tweet:
@mallelis Um, well okay. Here goes. My dad wrote the lime in the coconut song.
