We’ve been asked by Pampers to find out which songs get your babies grooving.

Pampers says, "Here at Pampers we know that babies love to get their groove on without a saggy nappy getting in the way. That’s why NEW Pampers Active Fit have Magical Pods, absorbent channels that help to distribute wetness evenly, so they don’t sag and stay up to 2 times drier than the next leading brand. We’d love to hear what song gets your baby moving – let us know by commenting on the thread below. Plus you can try new Pampers Active Fit for free here.

So, do you have a traditional lullaby that your baby loves? Maybe your toddler loves to boogie to the radio, or do you and your DCs even make up your own songs? Perhaps there’s a song that gets everybody moving in your family and you can never get out of your head!

Pampers would also love to hear about the stories behind the song, for example, what made them meaningful in your family, and why you think your baby loves a particular song?

Share the songs that get your babies grooving on this thread, whether they are nursery rhymes, top ten hits or theme tunes from their favourite shows!

Everyone who posts on this thread will be entered into a prize draw to win a £300 Love2Shop voucher!

Thanks and good luck,

Jonah our Grandson loves Fleur East 'Sax' - it was all over the TV on Asda's Christmas Advert and we all used to get up and shake our booties to it hahaha
He still asks me to play it , so I have to grab the iPad and play it on You Tube so we can have a boogie !

Uptown funk - from 6 months till now (22 months). He knows all the words and will ' sing ' it in the car. Particularly likes grooving jn the shower. Says bye bye to most other music except Jungle Book soundtrack and Apache by the Sugarhill gang.

row row row your boat - with crocodiles screaming, polar bears shivering and lions roaring - and so it goes on getting sillier

we went to the animal fair
and for small babies round and round the garden is sure to bring a smile

Mr Tumbles song - my child loves the introduction

My 3 year old loves Rock a bye baby..she sings it to her dollies :) It looks so cute :)

His very first favourite song was Whitney Houstons 'I wanna dance with somebody who loves me". It didn't matter what he was doing, he would stop and start dancing as soon as the opening beats started.

My two love Pharell's Happy and Wham "Wake me Up" - gets us all dancing around the kitchen!

My 2 boys always loved Hush little baby when they were tiny. I still sing it to the younger one, now 7, if he has trouble sleeping, but we now like to improvise and make up our own, it can last for as long as he needs to fall asleep peacefully!

My DD (4) has always loved Happy Birthday and finds any excuse to sing it. Many, many pretend birthday parties with play cake offered around.
We also have a made up song that I can tell makes her feel loved - it's ours, I'm not sharing that on here!
DS (20m) loves The Grand Old Duke of York but once he has bent down to touch the floor he refuses to get back up.

head shoulder knees and toes - she stops throughout the day to get everyone and anyone to join her (currently heavily pregnant and DC not happy as mummy doesn't touch her toes anymore)

My son's favourite song is Adventures of a Lifetime by Coldplay,my daughter prefers Barbie Girl.

I sing "5 green and speckled frogs" to my baby, it keeps him happy while sat in the bouncy chair when I need to do my chores!

Whilst in utero, Tiny Human used to LOVE Shake It Off by Swifty. Now he can hear it properly? Not so keen.

He absolutely loves James Bay; started with Hold Back the River but now he's more into Let It Go. I feel Mr Bay should start giving us some royalties for the sheer volume of Spotify/Youtube clicks we're responsible for.

YMCA. Which he calls the 'funny man song' after watching the village people video

Quite embarrassing but Tom Jones Sex Bomb was DS favourite (I remind him of that when he gets annoying

My daughter used to love "boyfriend" by Justin Bieber. Everytime it came on the music channel, if she was crying, teething, playing, eating, tantrums the lot she would just stop and then start rocking and bobbing her head. In the end I taped it off the telly and would put it on whenever she was having a melt down. Unfortunately now though at 4 it doesn't have the same effect!!

My eldest loves Call me Al by Paul Simon, he's 6 now and we still have the album in the car, he asks for it on all the time, from being a few weeks old he would go quiet when it came on as he got older we would do a duet to it and still do.

My littlest one loves "Let it go" from Frozen as her big sisters have sung it about 3 million times a day every day for the last couple of years!
Any time she needs distracting or cheering up, her sisters sing to her and she is all giggles again.

Oh my darling clementine was a firm fave with our childrenand we used to insert our names as we endlessly sung it eg mummy loves you now forever and substitute our doc name for clementine! Such happy memories!

Oops! That was meant to read dc not doc!

The Wheels on the Bus.
Looking at these I was far too conventional!

There's a Brown Girl in the Ring by Boney M. She just loved it and always danced when it was on. On the other hand I always sang Will ye go Lassie Go to my daughter and so did my dad. When he was dying in hospital we went to visit and a radio was on playing that song and she just went to pieces knowing that her granddad was dying. So happy and sad memories.

DS loved The Specials Monkey Man. He used to test his door bouncer to the max with his moves

"It's a Small World" - after visiting Disney!

My little grandson who is 4 is Ollie Murs crazy and his tiny brother who is 18 months says dear darling when the ollie song comes on !
