Mix Six Kinder Rock

The Lovely Mrs. Davis is the inspiration for this mix. She a wrote a post titled “The Top 20 Kids Albums for Parents Who Can’t Stand Kids Music,” and I knew I was in that camp. I don’t know what it is, but some of those kids songs really drive me crazy. So, I read through her list and I thought: “Hey I can totally rip her off find songs for an amusing Mix Six.” And here it is!

Listen to the full mix HERE

“Three is a Magic Number” Blind Melon (Listen HERE) This is one of my favorite School House Rock songs. Mostly for the line “A man and woman had a little baby…” Back in the day, it used to make me laugh because of the way it was originally sung. There was a kind of countrified twang to it that made me think of the yokels on “Hee Haw.”

“There’s Love in my Food” Uncle Rock (Listen HERE) I grabbed this on off of Uncle’s My Space page. It’s kind of sweet ditty about Jack and Diane, uh, um, take a guess. πŸ˜‰

“Math Stomp” The Terrible Twos (Listen HERE) I used to hate math (still do in a way), but I think if there were songs like this when I was just a rugrat, I think I’d be loving the numbers nowadays.

“Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” Candy Band (Listen HERE) 4 moms from Detroit who, according to their Wiki entry, “[play] local shows at schools, bars, festivals, and libraries.”

“C is for Conifers” They Might Be Giants (Listen HERE) I think this band was destined for the Kinder Rock niche. I’m just surprised it took them this long.

“F.U.N. Song” Spongebob and Plankton (Listen HERE) I had to put something that was just plain insane in this mix.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

  1. I like School House Rock, and I may listen to Spongebob, but that’s as far as I can go. Kid music drives me bat shit.

    Happy Friday! πŸ™‚

  2. I agree with ML…better to do it the way we did, and just make your child listen to your music. πŸ˜‰ Hey, they grow up with better taste that way, too! Having said that, these songs all sounded pretty darned good, and they wouldn’t have bothered me when Maya was litte, if she had had some. I esp. like the Schoolhouse rock song, and the TMBG song. πŸ™‚ You’re right, it’s their destiny…

  3. School House Rock and They Might Be Giants is all I know about. The Spongebob would make me twitch! Zoe on the other hand, loves Spongebob! πŸ™‚
