We’ve been asked by Pampers to find out which songs get your babies grooving.

Pampers says, "Here at Pampers we know that babies love to get their groove on without a saggy nappy getting in the way. That’s why NEW Pampers Active Fit have Magical Pods, absorbent channels that help to distribute wetness evenly, so they don’t sag and stay up to 2 times drier than the next leading brand. We’d love to hear what song gets your baby moving – let us know by commenting on the thread below. Plus you can try new Pampers Active Fit for free here.

So, do you have a traditional lullaby that your baby loves? Maybe your toddler loves to boogie to the radio, or do you and your DCs even make up your own songs? Perhaps there’s a song that gets everybody moving in your family and you can never get out of your head!

Pampers would also love to hear about the stories behind the song, for example, what made them meaningful in your family, and why you think your baby loves a particular song?

Share the songs that get your babies grooving on this thread, whether they are nursery rhymes, top ten hits or theme tunes from their favourite shows!

Everyone who posts on this thread will be entered into a prize draw to win a £300 Love2Shop voucher!

Thanks and good luck,

When my son was a baby he adored Bob the builder big fish little fish cardboard box.... I liked it at the start but it drove me crazy after a while. Hopefully this one will agree with it's big brother as he knows how to use spotify better than I do!

My DD loves Save Your Kisses For Me by Brotherhood of Man. I am such a sad case though that I changed the lyrics from 'bye bye Baby, bye bye' to 'hello Baby, hello' cause I was worried she might think that I was going leave her Blush. I've no idea how it started cause we certainly don't play Brotherhood of Man in our house I'm not that much of a sad case.

My five month old is instantly calmed if I sing "when I'm gone" from pitch perfect. I was singing it to him on the tube to stop him crying and forgot other people could hear me. I have a face for radio and a voice for a mime..

Me and my shadow - Robbie Williams from the Swing when you're winning album. I put it on my phone while I'm cooking or getting my daughter ready to go out and she is immediately quiet!

Not so much a song, but a theme tune....... The opening credits from the One Show has him running into the lounge and cutting some shapes whilst loudly singing "Oooooonnnneee, didi didi Dee Dee oooonnnne! Then promptly losing interest and then going back to whatever he was doing!

His most favourite song is colonel Hiathi's March from jungle book Grin

My now 5 year old has loved 'the blue danube' waltz since he was a tiny baby. It was the one song that could calm him when he got fractious on car journeys and can still make him sleepy! It was one of the songs that I used to play on the piano when pregnant so wonder if there is a link somehow.

When he was a baby, my now 10 year old son used to absolutely love Status Quo's Rockin' All Over The World. Thankfully his musical taste has vastly improved since then!

Of the songs we sang together 'Wind the Bobbin Up' was a big favourite. Katy Perry - 'Firework' was DD's favourite song and whenever she heard it on adverts, radio or television she would bob up and down with a big smile on her face.
