Dc3 is 8 and has his first MP3 player. He's thrilled but listening to the same 5 songs over and over:
Life is fun
Don't mine at night
I am a Gummi Bear
And two German songs from silly but age appropriate YouTubers...
If your 8 year old likes this kind of nonsense 
what else do they like? He's rejected his older sibling's recommendations as boring, so I said I'd ask MN...
