Do you sing nursery rhymes?

And if so what are your and your children's favourites.
It took me ages to work out which one dd kept asking for over and over again: 'little little bear'. Eventually worked out she meant 'I Had a Little Nut Tree' ('nothing would it bear'). Definitely her favourite along with I Saw Three Ships and Jack and Jill (although I worry that the version I know is a bit violent - lots of whipping going on).
She has to have several sung every night at bedtime after her story.
She is just 3. Ds is 5 and not really keen on them anymore (although enjoys listening in to dd's).

Ds has become a bit of a Cbeebies presenter - he knows all nursery rhymes - fair enough - he's 3 - but he will sing whenever something reminds him of a song.

eg - today we saw a rainbow - cue ds: "Look mummy a beeyootiful rainbow! We know a song about that don't we? Let's sing! Red and yellow and pink...."
or last week:
"Mummy? Can you see that star? It's twinkling! we know a song about a twinkling star don't we? Let's sing together! Twinkl..."

It's like having a tiny male Bonnie Langford in the backseat of the car - v freaky!

Otherwise he knows 5 albumsworth of the Proclaimers, Belle and Sebastian and Jamie Cullum - a bit eclectic.

Loads of tuneless singing here too though am often told to stop by DD (nearly 3)! However she has recently started to invent/change words to certain ones to comment on what's going on so she has been listening after all!
Also LOVES the 'rude' version of Hey, Diddle, Diddle that I sang to her recently by mistake
