Ok, here's a question for you. I have a six month old daughter named Lily and when she was about 2 months old when she would get cranky my wife would call her "Lily Monster" So going off that I sang the chorus of "The Monster Mash" to her and she seemed to enjoy it so it kind of stuck. In the last 4 months I'm fairly sure I have sung the words "They did the mash, they did the monster mash......." and so on about a thousand times, but Lily absolutley loves it. It's one of the sure fire ways to calm her down and make her smile. So my question was, what seemingly odd or weird songs do you sing to your baby? You dont need a reason, I was just curious.

How cute!!!! My son has a ghost Halloween decoration thing, That shakes back and forth and sings The Monster Mash, He loves it as well! :-)
Anyway- My son likes to hear me 'sing'...And I do use the term sing lightly, A Raffi song, Called Banana Phone, It's THE most idiotic song I have ever heard, BUT, When it's sung to him, He can't help but laugh uncontrollably, Even when 2 seconds later, He's been screaming like a banshee!!!!
Crazy what you'll do to make a little one laugh eh!? :-)

Hello,
My twins, when I feed them, to calm them down without any fuss, I sing to them, the ABC's song: You know, A B C D E F G...H I J K L M N O P....Q R S...T U V...W X...Y and Z....now I know my ABC's , next time won't you sing with me...and I put some inflection in my voice.
I also sing, "The Wheels on the Bus", "The Itsy BItsy Spider", the "Happy Birthday" song, their birthday in next month, "Head and Shoulders" as well.
At the party store next to my home, I purchased this 1st Birthday Party CD for girls. And this is where the songs came from. My twins love the songs and they totally calm them down...
Hope this helps you..... :-)

Black horse and a Cherry Tree by KT Tunstall. My 11 month old daughter loves the Woo-hoo's!
Also I'm not proud of it but we sing a couple choruses of Gwen Steffani's Holla Back Girls every time we eat "this stuff's Bananas! B-a-n-a-n-a-s!"

(-: No answer, but this question made my day. Keep singing! Right now, my kids (5 and 10) are enjoying Monty Python's Find Your Grail soundtrack. It's so cute when the little one sings the Laker Girls' cheerleader song (-:.

My son still digs the whole Romeo and Juliette soundtrack. He is 5 and can sing some of the songs.

As odd as it is my 6month old son loves when i sing Kith Urbans Tonight I wanna Cry.....dont ask why babies are strange like that. Some times its just the high pitches they like and calms them
