My kid wont go to sleep unless two things happen.
1. "Read me a story." Ruby and Max or Curious George, easy, done.
2. "Sing me a song." Much tougher.
Most kiddie songs are cute and all but let's face it, why pass up on the opportunity to teach your kids some music history and entertain them at the same time? So I've been selecting the songs she'll get to hear for bedtime. So far I've taught her (bear in mind she's 3):
The Most Beautiful Girl in the World - Charlie Rich
Sweet Caroline - Neil Diamond
Next on the list is:
My wife seems to think I'm setting my daughter up for enormous therapy bills later in life, I say nay nay - I'm teaching her something about music's past and maybe develop a greater appreciation than Hillary Duff can.
Feedback?

Spoiler:
"Viva Las Vegas" - the Elvis version of course
"Sympathy for the Devil" - the Stones
"Welcome to the Jungle" - GnR - she thinks it's about Curious George.
