.. obviously DD is aware of pop music as her older cousins have the Now series CDs, but listening to the songs the lyrics are a bit off for what I would like a 6 year old to be singing, and band / singer albums usually have tracks on I don't thinks she's old enough for (my younger cousin was listening to Katy Perry and I listened to the Peacock song and thought 'No waaay is DD having this'

I find half the msuic has lyrics (Obviously) inappropraiet for a young child and the other half usually drivel about being in love and generally anything that sounds like wrong direction.

DD loves listeing to Florence and the Machine in the car so she's used to that and calls it fairy music, and she likes Feist albums (!) so I was thinking of buying her them. There is also a Now that's waht I call Disney she will like.. but what other things? She has been trying to sing 'I got a feeling..' but that's going back into chart music stuff.

I wouild like to point out, that everyone has their own ideas about what's suitable and if some one's 3 year old can dance just like Lady Gaga and they're happy with that then f ine, I ain't pulling on any judgey pants / creating bunfight over musical differences Grin I just realised how badly behind I am with music recently.. another neglected are af life post dc! Sob!

Really would appreciate aney suggestions so DD will have her 'own' DCs for her birthday!

COuld you make some mix CDs on the computer?

It's very tricky to find compilation CDs that don't have songs that make you Hmm

That's a god idea.. Dh has stacks of his own mixes so I can't believe I never thought of that! He even makes his own sleeves, but he is a bit geeky like that Grin

I suppose that way DD can have her pop music but not the droning rubbish about how boys like girls becuase girls look pretty and te sun lit up the sky beacsue a boy looked at you blah blah blah or having her singing about seeing her poker face...

Will sart plotting up some mixes for Dh to put together..
