Greetings Auditeers:
Forgive me if this subject has come up before -- and feel free to provide me
with pointers to archived posts if it has -- but I have a quandary and could
use your help:
I have been charged with putting together a 4-hour playlist of baby-related
songs for a baby shower. I'm searching far and wide for songs that have
"baby," "mom" or "mama," and/or "dad" or "daddy" in the lyrics. Trying to
keep things relatively upbeat -- i.e., I probably won't use The Pernice
Brothers 'Baby In Two," which (lovely as it is) is a song about divorce,
although less thematically heavy songs that include vague, passing
references to heartbreak are probably okay. All genres are fine as long as
the lyrical content is suitable for your average 6-year-old -- no profanity.
The object is to keep the subtle baby/mama/daddy lyrical theme going for the
entire duration of the party.
Which means I need a LOT of songs.
Here are some I've already got:
- "Baby," Rufus Wainwright
- "Baby Blue," Badfinger
- "Baby Blue," Beach Boys
- "Baby Boomerang," The Shins
- "Baby Gap," The Gravel Pit
- "Baby Loves The Radio," Steven Page
- "Baby's Coming Back," Jellyfish
- "Baby's Waiting," Superdrag
- "Metal Baby," Teenage Fanclub
- "Bye Bye Baby," OK Go
- "Forever Baby," Juliana Hatfield
- "Goodbye Baby," The Teenage Prayers
- "Maybe Baby," The Cars
- "When My Baby's Beside Me," Big Star
- "Baby's Got Sauce," G. Love.
Can you help me add to this list? Mom/Dad/Mama/Daddy songs also welcome.
Thanks in advance!
Andrea
