    people mentioning Paul Simon

    "Diamonds on the Soles of her shoes" and "Call me Al" from Graceland are great songs for kids.

    We bought my 6 year old son a cheap MP3 player 4 (he LOVES music) and loaded a lot of stuff from the 60s and 70s on there. He was obsessed with American Pie for the longest time! My husband and I even have a playlist on both of our iPods with his name on it!

    Here's a short list of what he and his 3 year old sister listen to and LOVE....

    American Pie - Don McClean
    Kodachrome - Paul Simon
    Magic - Pilot
    The Night Chicago Died - Paper Lace
    Margaritaville - Jimmy Buffet
    Fins - Jimmy Buffet
    Cheeseburger in Paradise - Jimmy Buffet
    I think I Love You - The Partridge Family
    The Show Must Go On - Three Dog Night
    Saturday Night - Bay City Rollers
    Dream Weaver - Gary Wright
    Back To School Again - Grease 2 Soundtrack
    Cool Rider - Grease 2 Soundtrack

    AWESOME - Thank you!

    I agree that you want to find out which way her tastes lie but for older kids, I love Barenaked Ladies kid's album "Snacktime". The lyrics are super clever and fun and not too baby-ish. If she's a smart kid and into wordplay, she might get a kick out of them. I also like some of their grown-up music for kids like "If I had a Million dollars" and "One Week".


    Also, Jack Johnson who did the Curious George soundtrack has lots of cute, upbeat songs with a good message like "Upside Down".

    And if you want retro, I would go with "The Lion Sleeps Tonight", "Sugar, sugar", and "Hey, Sweetpea", all extremely danceable cute songs that I sing with my baby.
