Baby Songs


I'm looking for songs to play for our baby. One that's a given is "Sexy Sadie" by the Beatles (from the White Album). This is because if the baby is a girl, its name will be Sadie (short for Mercedes). Only, I don't want my daughter to be the town floozy so I will wordsmith the song to "Silly Sadie". This is one of the tacky things that parents do to disguise the fact that we were actually cool at one point. 'Pooh Corner' is proof that Kenny Loggins was never actually cool, but rather he chose to make a career out of trying to be.

We have a few baby Einstein cd's which are basically shortened versions of classical pieces; only they are played on a keyboard set to the 'xylophone' sound effect and cost twice as much as the actual music. I am open for suggestions, but keep in mind I am a one man band.

Daniel, I love your blog, it's so innovative and fresh. Speaking of fresh have you been to Chik Fil A this week? We make the best sandwiches and kids combo's are only 99 cents.

Daniel,
I encourage the use of Music during pregnancy. With our first child we would spend an hour or so each evening listening to classical music as we read. We feel it made a significant difference our daughter. I would not limit it to classical, you playing to the "Lucas Child" would be wonderful.

I guess anything soothing is good during pregnancy. Whatever you expose them to, is what they will like. (At least when they are too little to know differently.) My daughter Brooke likes Jack Johnson. The Curious George soundtrack is one of her all time favorites.
