Thread Name: Nursery rhymes v Pop Songs
Subject: RE: Nursery rhymes v Pop Songs
Although I'd encourage my grandkids to enjoy nursery rhymes, I have to say that the music that has really got my 3-year-old grandson going is the Mamma Mia soundtrack. He adores all the songs, and prances around singing some approximation of the words. It is a little disconcerting to hear a 3-yr-old sing "Gimmee, gimmee, gimmee a man after midnight!" but I don't suppose he has much idea what it's supposed to be about. It's probably no worse, lyrically, than the rhymes about trying to drown poor pussy in the well or Jack and Jill falling down the hill, and the tunes are melodic and catchy.
