Does anyone else sing songs to their baby like this?

DH and I find ourselves changing the words to songs to make them baby related eg

Say What You Want by Texas (you can scream all you want but it wont change my mind)
Closing Time by Semisonic (I know who I want to change my bum)
Little by Little by Oasis (DD woke up on the wrong side of her bed)

Etc

Does anyone else do this or are we total weirdos? Would love to hear any others if they are out there Grin

Yes.

My three children have a different song tailored to them. They're 29, 24 and 20 and I still song their songs to them.

Come to think of it, so do my cats.

My father used to do that for me but not for my sister.

I thought everyone did that.

Yes-

Sing to tune of Copa cabana by Barry manilow

Her name is Becky, she is a baby.
With no feathers in her hair, cause her hair just isn’t there.
She sucks her bottle and fills her nappy
She don’t want to take a nap, cause there’s never time for that
She screams from 2 till 4
She is cute, she has her dummy, who can ask for more!
Yes it’s Becky! Rebecca baaaaby! The cutest tot south of the Thames!

Stinkle stinkle, little Belle*, how I wonder how you smell
Is it perfume, is it roses?
Is it the cheese between your toeses?
Stinkle, stinkle, little Belle, how I wonder how you smell

*DD's name isn't Belle but ends similarly.

Yep. Kids ranging from 20years to 4m have been subjected to "STOP NAPPY TIME" and Nice Nice Baby..

hotmeatymilk · 22/10/2021 21:32

Relentlessly. She’s old enough now to say “Shush mummy that enough songs about me… for now”. Grin

newmum0604 · 22/10/2021 23:28

Yes. Her current favourite is 'she's got twooooo teeth' (instead of high hopes Grin)

Very normal. You'd be weird if you didn't sing daft songs to your baby.
