Carrie Underwood has brilliant solution to get kids to stop saying ‘6-7’

I am very partial to this one, especially since “6-7” is starting to make me crack!

During a preview clip for “American Idol’s” upcoming season, Carrie Underwood greets a contestant on the show, Uzziah Hutchinson, who works with kids and references the popular catchphrase.

Immediately, Underwood begins mimicking the hand gesture that goes with the catchphrase, which is wildly popular with school-age kids. “6-7” originally came from the song “Doot Doot (6 7)” by rapper Skrilla, in reference to NBA star LaMelo Ball’s height, but it’s mostly just become extremely popular for students to repeat — and an annoyance for many parents and teachers.

Fortunately, Underwood has a scheme to get the “6-7” craze to halt Tommy Tutone style!
