Xavier seems to love having songs sung to him. He does not, however, care for songs being sung to him while he is trying to go to sleep. Nope. No lullabyes for him. Instead, he loves to hear songs when he is getting his diaper changed. His absolute favorite is a rendition of Queen's "We Will Rock You" with the following lyrics:
You got milk on your face,
You big disgrace,
Pooping your pants
All over the place
We will, we will, change you (Sing it!)
Sometimes this devolves into a remix version with Nelly's "Hot in Here" with these lyrics:
It's gettin' wet in here,
So take off all your clothes...
These two never fail to get a smile out of him even if he starts out in tears. Its amazing how many contemporary songs can be used for baby entertainment with or without lyric changes. I have a CD of songs (that are not by the original artists) intended to be used for bedtime. The worst song on there is "Sweet Child of Mine." Yes, the Guns n Roses version. Except this rendition is done as a folk song. Blech.
When it comes to bedtime routines, Xavier much prefers music without lyrics. His current favorite is a CD of world flute music a la a massage therapist's office.
