Happy Children/Crazy Parents

My children are perfectly happy singing the wheels on the bus go round and round....ad nauseum. I made a CD-R of pop songs that children would like and have made some inroads into getting them to enjoy them. They like "Yellow Submarine," "Barbara Ann," "Octopus's Garden," "Great Ball of Fire" "Peppermint Twist" "Lollipop" and a bunch more. Can you think of pop songs that little kids would like that would not drive mom and dad completely off their rockers?

No, but I can sure think of more kids' songs that drive parents nuts!  I occasionally sing them in the car to make my husband bonkers. . . 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall 1 little, 2 little, 3 little Indians Oh My Darling, Clementine You get a line and I'll get a pole Oo ee oo ah ah, ting tang, walla walla bing bang Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious You have now been infected with an auditory virus. One or more of the songs listed above will play over and over in your head today.

And let's not forget...
This is the song that never ends....
Yes it goes on and on my friends,
Some people - started singing it not knowing what it was,
And they'll continue singing it forever just because
This is the song that never ends.....
One I didn't know!
But how could I have forgotten "Found a Peanut"?
On the serious side:
Sly and the Family Stone
Carole King - Tapestry
Eagles Greatest Hits
Some stuff from Cream

Add The Veggie Tales Silly Sing Along to the list. I enjoyed the videos when the kids were younger, but now I swear they just play the CD to drive me insane! 
We are the pirates who don't do anything
We just stay at home and lie around
And if you ask us to do anything
We will tell you... we don't do anything
Well, I never hoist the mainstay
And I never swab the poopdeck
And I never veer to starboard
'Cause I've never sailed at all
And I've never walked the gangplank
And I've never owned a parrot
And I've never been to Boston in the fall!
I could go on all day with the Veggie Tales songs!

I also highly recommend that you get a Veggie Tales cassette or CD. The music is SOOO catchy. It's the kind of stuff that really sticks in your head. It's very fun stuff.

For 2 or more--- "Who stole the cookie outta the cookie jar? #1 stole the cookie outta the cookie jar. Did not. Did too. #2 stole the cookie......." My cousins and I almost had to walk home from vacation on that one. It still makes me laugh, my mom still remembers it -----but, pleeeeease don't tell my kids!!

Has anyone heard of The Wiggles? 4 guys from Australia, we saw them in concert here, it was great. They sing and dance, and you can't get the songs out of your head.  I consider the videos aerobics with my kids so I get in some excercise. You should see the looks I get from people as we are singing and dancing (head bobbing, hand movements) in the car. But it is fun!!!

My 14 year old son & 11 year old daughter like Roxanne by the Police. Not the most appropriate subject matter - especially for the 2 year old. It's funny though!

No one's mentioned that loveable Dora the Explorer and the "we did it" song...just kidding. My girls also like the songs from Lilo and Stitch.
