'First Date'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
The only thing I'm known to sing on a semi-regular basis to small children is the song Holly Hunter sings in Raising Arizona.
Oooh! And that's a creepy, old-timey "babies die a lot when medicine sucks" song, isn't it? I know there's a lot of death in that song, even though it's a VERY pretty tune.

....and now I'm GLAD nobody sang in my house in the morning!
Plei, weren't you scheduled for something important today? Or did I miss something or lose track of days?
The Aimee Mann "One" is a cover, btw. Originally by Three Dog Night, Written by Nilsson.
Oh, I'm having wicked flashbacks to summer camp, where we sang songs at Morning Flagpole and then again at breakfast. I'm sure at one point I knew the words to all of them, since I was a counselor for a couple of years and led more singalongs than I could possibly count...
Also earwormed with "One is the loneliest number"--wasn't that originally by Harry Nilsson? edit: x-post, of course!

I was just wondering the same thing.

I'm good, as long as it's not "Rock-a-bye baby." The baby FALLS OUT OF THE TREE. That's not right.
Also, I plan on singing my children murder ballads during their formative years. "Poor Ellen Smith, how was she found?/ Shot through the heart, lying full on the ground."

My co-worker has been playing streaming BBC radio, and today's selection was a segment of nothing but showtunes. I disgraced myself by knowing -- and singing -- all the words to "Almost Like Being in Love" from Brigadoon.
But, dude -- we did it in high school -- those lyrics are burned on my brain!
ya'll are making me laugh. I think morbid baby songs are funny. COME ON!
