Not bad... not great. She likes stuff with lots of harmony, boppy music. Think surf music: I forsee a Beach Boys CD in her immediate future. So beach boys or anything that mentions a duck.  Any suggestions on stuff that is kiddo friendly, lots of harmony other than Beach Boys? I am sadly clueless when it comes to music.  Her favorite song right now is called "speed Turtle" it's a kids song recorded by Brian Wilson (yep that Brian Wilson). Google it... it's kinda cute.

Oh: when I say she prefers music, I mean it. She will tell you. "Eh-i-tah want better music"

I've listened to the Beach Boys since I was in 5th grade. :) There are some kid cd's that are like that.......that advertise them on the TV.......kind of kid remakes of popular songs.

Do y'all get Noggin up there on satellite? They play music videos during breaks sometimes that are by people/groups that do kid songs. That might steer you in the right direction. They alsoo have a show, or used to, called "Jack's Big Music Show" that showcases different kids groups. Don't really know what "surf" music is, but what about reggae or Sublime?

Here's what you do. Put headphones on her and let her listen to Blackwind Fire And Steel by Manowar. If she wants to listen to Beach Boys then, it's hopeless.

To take doorgunner's suggestion (in all seriousness I think thats a good call), there was a song called "Spiders and Snakes" by (I think) Jim Stafford that she might get a kick out of as well.

Here are the lyrics for "Sneaky Snake": Boys and girls take warning, if you go near the lake Keep your eyes wide open, and look for sneaky snake Now maybe you wont see him, maybe you wont hear But hell sneak up behind you, and drink all your root beer And then sneaky snake goes dancin, wigglin and a-hissin Sneaky snake goes dancin, gigglin and a-kissin I dont like old sneaky snake; he laughs too much you see When he goes wigglin through the grass, it tickles his underneath Well, sneaky snake drinks root beer, and he just makes me sick When he is not dancin, he looks just like a stick Now, he doesnt have any arms or legs, you cannot see his ears And while we are not lookin, hes stealin all of our beer And then sneaky snake goes dancin, wigglin and a-hissin Sneaky snake goes dancin, gigglin and a-kissin I dont like old sneaky snake; he laughs too much you see When he goes wigglin through the grass, it tickles his underneath

The Wiggles- "bluh!" sorry i threw up a little in my mouth, My daughter loves the Backyardigans. She starts moving her feet and laughing when she hears the music. You can listen to their music here, http://www.amazon.com/Backyardigans/dp/B0009VNBIS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=m... She can't resist falling alseep with the Rockabilly Lullaby.

imagination movers They are rock and rap totally safe for kids and they are a hell of a lot more tolerable than the wiggles or barney. They even have their own TV show.
