s/o lullabies: kids' albums by bands?

[niq]

Are there any "real" bands that have put out albums meant for kids? I could totally see someone like Barenaked Ladies putting together an album.

I know every celebrity under the sun has a children's book, since it's free money, so I figured maybe the same is true for musicians?

you mean "the wiggles" isn't a real band?

BNL does have an album from 2009, it's called Snack Time. It's pretty good, but geared towards the older kid crowd (like 5-9). But it's still fun.

I love the ones from PUSA lead singer, he's got a few good ones.

I also think Ben Folds does some kid songs.

Caspar Babypants, Barenaked Ladies, They Might Be Giants...

Just... beware of Caspar Babypants. >.< I have Funny Bone stuck in my head all freaking day these days cause it's Thor's favorite song.

For me it's "Brown and Lonely Worm," "Baby Bear," or "Baby's Getting Up."

We got the Silly Songs with Larry CD for M's birthday, and I constantly have Barbara Manatee stuck in my head.

Also, I gotta say, I'm an old-school kid songs lover. I love Raffi, Fred Penner, and Sharon, Lois, and Bram.

Raffi is in in our car constantly! I know which song is coming next...my daughter is instantly happy when he is on

Jack Johnson did the Curious George soundtrack. Some adult songs that are kid friendly on there, and some kid songs that I don't think are adult-friendly.
