Not really AIBU, but I need advice please.
I have to do a music demonstration to KS2 kids soon. I am out of touch now with younger children.

What would be popular music to play to them? I used to do Star Wars, Let it Go and A Whole New World. Are those tunes still relevant?
Thank you.

Mine would recognise all of them, but just in case maybe replace A Whole New World with something more recent like Encanto or something, maybe We Don't talk about Bruno? Not sure about star wars but I'd say you're very safe with Let it Go!

I'd keep A whole new world as it's been in the new Aladdin (or possibly switch it for little Mermaid Under the Sea which they'll also know from the recent live action) and replace Let it Go with we don't talk about Bruno

DD is only five so a bit young but would recognise let it go but not the other two, she'd get we don't talk about Bruno though

Parry Gripp?

Admittedly my child is year 6 now but his songs were a big thing a couple of years ago. Very silly but the kids love them.

Frozen's a bit early years these days. None of the 7 year olds I know are that bothered by it.

Taylor Swift is very popular with KS2.

My DS discovered Parry Gripp on You Tube and I am now torn between hatred and admiration for him and his weirdly catchy songs! I’d say that those who know him love him but he’s not universally known.

I did so well getting DS into Oliver! and Mary Poppins and the Sound of Music when he was 2-3, it’s all gone to pot now 😂.

I agree with We don’t talk about Bruno as being most universal recognition- friendly.
