Has anyone tried "They Might be Giants" They have some good children's music. for anyone who watches Mickey Mouse Clubhouse they did the Hot Dog song.

For my son's 8th birthday, I decided to pass on the presents and give him an itunes gift card. It was a great choice. He has taken his time over the past couple of months to seek out music he enjoys and we approve of. Unlike the toys or games he has received, he has really been into this gift. I say all of that to praise myself. Also to direct you to a musician he found and loves: Parry Gripp. This guy writes and performs truly silly songs, but they connect with kids. His popular songs include, "Do you like Waffles?" "Burrito song" "Fried Chicken," and "Cat flushing the toilet. Check it out.

Whats up Dads,
I'm making another continuos mix/ podcast for kid's and parents (Raccoon Radio 2). This one is all about counting. Anybody have a favorite song about or including numbers? I've got a bunch already, but I'd really like to hear from faves from you guys.

I just posted a blog at my site, http://www.4wrdthnkndad.wordpress.com/ about 10 songs for kids that parents will enjoy, check it out.

I have gotten my kids to appreciate the music from the 80's, the same stuff I grew up on. Maybe it can make a come back. One of their favorite tunes right now is Paradise City by Guns n' Roses....classic!

Not sure how old your kids are but I have a Hip Hop Alphabet Song that my friend made called Alphabeat Rock its kinda short but I have the acapella too. Email me and I'll attach the file.

Great subject for a group. Doesn't that go both ways...Like "Dad Music that Kids can Appreciate"
or something (?) My little girl (toddler) seems to likes Popcorn by Hot Butter, Les Artsists by Santogold, Rainbow Styling by Royksopp, Misdemeanor by Foster Sylvers, and she laughs hysterically whenever I play anything by the Fat Boys.

Cool...when I think about kids and music I always think of the Jamaican saying, "Who feels it knows it!" I hope you have a recorded version of child's James Brown cover...what a gas!

Rod- I have fond memories of my son going to camp asking very politely if he could play some music. The counselor agreed, I assume, expecting to hear, ABC, Mary Had a little Lamb-only to be hit with the "Godfather of Soul-James Brown." My kids enjoyed some of the B-52's too. And no dance party is complete without the Romantics, "What I like about you."

Devo!!!
Sorry for the multiple posts...but it's all coming back to me!
