A Local Comedian Made a Song About Kids Going Back to School, and It’s Way Too Real

Recently, he contacted the station to share his latest creation, and in only the way Barnard Blackmon can, he made it clear that he is more than ready for his kids to head back to school. He even wrote a song about it. My first thought was, "This is going to be good." Blackmon is known for his hilarious parodies, social media skits, and viral comedy videos, so expectations were high.

Parents Can't Stop Replaying This Killeen Comedian’s Relatable School Anthem

The song, "FTK," an abbreviation that can mean "Forget Those Kids" (or perhaps something a little stronger, I'll let you use your imagination), is quickly gaining popularity as the new school year approaches because so many parents say it's relatable.

It's Time To Send Those Babies Back To School!

Let's be honest, it's not that parents don't care about their children. It's just that after three months of summer break, many are ready to get back into a routine. The kids have eaten them out of house and home, run up the electric and water bills, and spent countless hours playing video games. Parents are more than ready to send them back to school, and "FTK" perfectly captures that feeling in a funny, lighthearted way. What makes the song even funnier is that Blackmon's spouse is an educator, so it's clear there's no real animosity behind the lyrics. It's simply a comedic take on a feeling many parents can relate to as another school year begins, and a good laugh before the first day of school.
