I couldn’t find the song I wanted, namely “Hoodoo Voodoo” done by Wilco from Mermaid Avenue. “Hoodoo Voodoo” was a song Woody Guthrie wrote for his kids, and it’s a great kid song.
We don’t own a lot of kid music, and it’s very challenging for me to play “mommy” music around them. I have to screen for language and imagery when choosing from my collection.
But the Mermaid Avenue CDs are fantastic. And my kids love them!
The song below is also a favorite of DearDR’s. I’m proud of that fact because I introduced him to it, so to speak.
Red Pen Mama 
I love The Hudsucker Proxy.
I wish we didn’t own much children’s music. I have yet to find a full CD that doesn’t make me want to rip my hair out. They are all a form of torture. Absolute torture.
Chag: I know. I love all the Coen Brothers films. That is one I still need to get on DVD.
BBM: I know we have some They Might Be Giants kids’ CDs around here somewhere. It is my understanding that those are okay for moms & dads, too. I also know that Chag (see above) at Cynical Dad is good with the recommendations if you want to visit his site.
