Suggestions for a mix of kids' songs by 'adult' artists Help me compile a playlist of kids' songs for my son. He's only 9 months old now, and we listen to a lot of great music (IMHO), but I'd like to get a good playlist of easy-to-learn songs together for him to hear as he grows over the next couple of years especially. I'm not thinking of 'parenting' songs, like Paul Simon's Father And Daughter or John Lennon's Beautiful Boy (we have a separate mix featuring those kinds of song), but songs for children. Here's the kind of thing I'm thinking of:
Beatles - Yellow Submarine Beatles - Octopus' Garden Beatles - All Together Now Seal - Puff The Magic Dragon Madonna - Dear Jessie (face it - it's basically a kids' song) Prince - The Song Of The Heart John Lennon - Mr. Hyde's Gone (Don't Be Afraid) Jack Johnson - most of the Curious George soundtrack Paul McCartney - We All Stand Together Paul McCartney - Tropic Island Hum Sting - Lullaby For An Anxious Child Davy Jones - Your Personal Penguin That gives you a general sense. I'm thinking of getting Sandra Boynton's CDs too, since we love reading her kids' books and I just downloaded Your Personal Penguin, which is the kind of thing I'm looking for. Any suggestions? | |
