Comment:

No I haven't taken leave of my senses quite yet! This is a mix compiled by me & Mrs Frenchy,for our 3 year old daughter Freja. (at least it will be a change from friggin' nursery rhymes when in the car! OK it's top heavy with Julie & Dick but give me a break if you're gonna break the golden rule of mixes then do it properly is what I say. I insisted on the Keith West track cos it's one of my fav. songs not just from childhood either! Let the onslaught commense but be gentle with Freja's pappa. Oh & yeh I agree I've failed my daughter by including the Aqua track but she's Barbie crazy though I'm loathe to admit it!

Well sir, until I read your comments, I thought the rib injury had caused a lack of oxygen to the brain. On further review this would be a cool car mix to sing with a young child. Oh and screw the "rules".

Well, I tell you: I don't have kids, so I can only imagine your daughter's reaction -- and I'm certain she will love it (though you may tire of it as quickly as you're tiring of the nursery rhymes).

my kids (boys 10 & 6) nearly hate music
maybe that's they're revolt against me or they just prefer childrens channel, disney channel, x-box or lego

Cool stuff, Cliff. For the better part of 2 years now I've been making cassette recordings (then dubbing them to CD) of the All Ages Show (available Saturdays from 1:00--3:00PM on wprb.com). Playlists available here.
We just got back from vacation and that's all we played, down & back. In fact this last Saturday, the DJ was on an "Ice Cream" song kick -- we called in and got Van Halen's "Ice Cream Man" as a request - mixed in with Eric Nagler, Jonathan Richman & Trout Fishing in America...among others. Kids music can be cool...just steer clear of that purply-pink dinosaur...

Great mix here! The kid mix is always one of my favorite - Gene is so right - there's so much great stuff out there that no one should ever have to expose their keets to a big purple puppet head.
b/t/w, Gene - your radio playlists look wonderful as well.

Nice touch and a cute mix, M. Frantais. I'm planning to add it to "Cater or Indoctrinate." [By the way, everybody knows that "Puff the Magic Dragon" is about smoking grass.]

superb stuff. I have made a couple of mixes in this vein, but not as good as this one. I'm sure Freja will love it!

This is very cute! I'm sure she'll absolutely love it, and like hemizen said, to hell with rules - if it works, it works, even Aqua. :)

Funny as! Freja will love this mate . . . . . and, nobody ever told me that Puff the magic dragon was about smoking grass. How did I miss that one?

Oh mon ami, this will make my little fairy very happy indeed. I will leave the room when Aqua comes on though! As for Rolf, in a confessional between me and a priest I would cite that as an all time fave. Nobody ever looks back at these. do they? do they? mmmm yes you fools Rolf is the shit!!!!
