Music your kids (and you) are enjoying (AWish)

[niq]

V gets a big kick out of "Pig On Her Head" by the Laurie Berkner Band.



If you sing it, he'll put something on his head. Lately he's gotten smart enough to figure out what you're asking him to put on his head and find it.

Also popular is "All of the Raindrops", off of Songs for Wiggleworms. NOT the barney version, lol.



V will sing along to the "AHH AHH AH AH" bit, but he sounds a bit like DJ Kool when he does it:

[lilac05]

Both of those songs are popular around our house. My brain is too fried to think of others, though.

Oh...Laurie Berkner's Rocketship song. OK, well anything by her is a hit around here. Fun for the kids and tolerable for me.

[212]

J is obsessed with the songs from Singing in the Rain, especially Make 'Em Laugh. He runs around singing and acting out the bit, complete with falling down at the very end. It's amazingly funny to watch.

[212]

Also Bohemian Rhapsody. Aka "Mama Mia" in toddler talk.

Parenting fail?

[darnkatz]

We're raising a bunch of nerds over here. My kids love the classical Harry Potter soundtracks and my six year old requests them for her homework time.

Song in My Tummy and Boots by Laurie Berkner are also a big hit. Oh, and the You Are My Little Bird album by Elizabeth Mitchell and Dance for the Sun album by Kira Willey.

[Deleted]

Frozen soundtrack.

Phish.

We are all very predictable in Casa Page.

[gibbinator]

1970 Sesame street's Ladybug picnic

[chickens987]

Wiggles - especially the monkey song.

[cobber06]

Claire's taste in music is singular- let it go is pretty much all she wants to hear. Audrey has a more eclectic taste. One day I pulled up a few songs on YouTube and sang along to them, home, hallelujah, piano man, and follow you into the dark are a few songs that I can sing along to without sounding terrible, so Audrey likes all of those. She will go up to the tv and shout "songs, songs"

[moopoint17]

DS1 sings along to Elizabeth Mitchell's Three Little Birds - so cute but he shuts up as soon as the camera comes on.

DS2 was dancing along to Under the Sea, which is hilarious. His version of dancing is bopping up and down and moving around his hands. Cutie!

[mpc]

The Barenaked Ladies have a children's CD (called Snacktime) that is really popular at our house right now. I think it's pretty fun. DS's favorite song is called Eraser, and he will run around saying Eeeee! Eeee! EEE-sur!

[glitzy07]

I'm a mean mom who doesn't listen to toddler music. Aka, he hears lots of my indie musician friends and old classics like Nsync and Color Me Badd. lol

[bunnymendelbaum]

My 5yo daughter loves James Brown. She routinely asks for "I Feel Good".
She also likes Echosmith, Chvrches & First Aid Kit. My husband and I like music, so we fully support this. She has her own rhapsody playlists.
Don't get me wrong, she also likes some kid music, but she's always asking me to put adult music on her playlist too.

[justjen]

Frozen. Always Frozen. Movie soundtracks/show tunes are the extent of our toddler music

[ladygrey]

Lots of Laurie Berkner - "I Know a Chicken" is a favorite right now because she can shake a shaker egg along with it.

Also Elizabeth Mitchell and Raffi (the latter is bringing back so many memories for me, but it's so great for simple, familiar toddler tunes).

[shelbyann]

I don't do toddler music either. We just listen to my iPod or pop radio. DD always dances when that "Shut Up And Dance With Me" song comes on.

[loskadoodle]

Itsy Bitsy Spider is typically on repeat. He was also obsessed with "These are the sounds that the animals make" by Hooplakids for a while.

[hermione]

All About That Bass is a big hit here.

I'm doing this wrong, aren't I?

[MamaMaui24]

I'm embarrassed to admit I randomly have "Jesus walks" by Kanye on my iPhone and it came up on shuffle Saturday. Now DS requests "Bom, Bom, Bom" over and over again!

"Do you like waffles?" Parry gripp
"Iko iko" the belle stars NOT Cyndi lauper!

OMG YES!!!!! That's DS's favorite video to watch when he gets his hair cut. He's also a big fan of Geronimo, Uptown Funk, and Animals.

[bazinga]

DD loves music right now. They listen to music a lot at daycare. She has started requesting sic, sic, sic (music). They listen to a lot of pop songs sung by the Chipmunks. Party Rock Anthem and Hot n Cold are probably her favorites right now. Last week she was busting a move to the Ghostbusters theme song when DH picked her up.

[lauren170]

Enthusiastic dancing to Raffi's Ba Ba Blacksheep.

OMFG that Rocketship song. We decided to eliminate most TV about 2 months ago, but allow music videos because they are actually on their feet dancing around. If I have some cleaning to do, they'll play that on repeat.

Mr. Sun is also pretty popular right now, and in the car, DD1 requests Milky Chance, lol.

Frozen songs are typically the choice for musical performances.

[ssmjlm]

E is currently obsessed with any Christmas station on Pandora. I guess bc we played a lot of Christmas music during the holidays last year?

[caramia17]

Embarrassingly enough, Caramini likes "All About that Bass" and "Shake it Off". She told me at Christmas that she liked the "shake" song and that she is a player because she likes to play, play, play.

Don't hate the player, hate the game.

[ginkgoleaf]

Uptown Funk is DS' jam.

[t]

Shake it Off is a popular one.

She knows the whole refrain from John Denver's "Sunshine on my Shoulders" which melts me.

Also, Jingle Bells and "very shiny nose" aka Rudolph are still commonly requested lullabies. Lol

[ny96]

J loves dancing to the Reggae Got Soul album by Toots & The Maytals, also I Confess by The English Beat.

He was also dancing it up to the recruitment music in Going Clear which we watched last night.

[aspentosh]

We love anything Laurie Berkner here, too. She also loves the Music Together CDs and top 100 pop music.

When we went to the Maroon 5 concert we took a video of Sugar and Animals because they are some of DD's favorite songs. She asks to watch the videos all the time

[leonard131]

M is obsessed with the Luminers Hey Ho and Fun's Carry On. He also loves Modern Skirts My Lost Soprano.
