21 Non-Terrible Songs Babies Actually Seem to Enjoy Despite Not Knowing Anything About Anything
Warren Zevon – “Werewolves of London”
Newsflash: It’s not just adults who like songs that allow you to go “A-ooooooh” like a werewolf over and over again. Bonus points if you can get your kid to do that weird grunt thing after the “I saw a werewolf drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic’s” line.
Weston – “New Shirt” / “Heather Lewis”
90s pop-punk about getting a striped short-sleeve shirt to impress a girl, followed by 90s pop-punk about a girl going off to college and forgetting all about you. The first half’s a no-brainer; the second half will build character and teach your kid about background vocals.
Feist – “1-2-3-4”
I get it: It’s old and played-out and it was all over those Apple commercials, and it was on Sesame Street and all that. But remember the alternative here: Feist is better than Laurie Berkner. Feist is basically, like, Lou Reed compared to Laurie Berkner.
