suggest songs here for my new mini van mix cd!
Replies
@art good question...maybe i should make two...one kid friendly and one not kid friendly
@ilikedginger i have the whole weird al discography on my itunes so don't worry...
I heard that sucka talkin' his jibba jabba about how he's gonna raze the orphanages and burn people!
as a former owner of a mini-van with a small child, I made a series of discs called "Backseat Crack" which were meant to amuse and delight my daughter and not drive me crazy. Some of our faves are:
Love Shack
Ain't Nobody Here But us Chickens
If I Had A Million Dollars
Papa Loves Mambo
... and anything by They Might Be Giants
@purl: The kid LOVES They Might Be Giants. We have a whole Elijah mix on iTunes that we can put on CD and play in the car. It has things like Rock Lobster, I've Just Seen a Face and Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree. It's pretty non-offensive.
@elben: I think anything other than that bizzaro mix you have going on now will be good. Who transitions from Peek-a-Boo by Siouxsie and the Banshees to I Wanna Dance With Somebody by Whitney Houston???
All songs should be death metal. If it doesn't involve the eating of children, how will they know to fear and hate adults?
@ Jewls: do you guys have "bed bed bed" (book and accompanying cd)? Fiona *loves* it and often requests for it to be played at bedtime
"got a valentine for Mister Peter Tork" cracks me up every time they sing the line
