Some songs that Andrew has loved this summer have been: Iko Iko by the Dixie Cups Dance Tonight by Paul McCartney Rainbow by Jack Johnson Quieremos Bailar by Dan Zanes & Barbaral Broussal Sea of No Cares by Great Big Sea Ooh La La by Counting Crowes ROCK in the USA by John Mellencamp Walking on Sunshine by Katrina & the Waves Ice Cream Man by the Modern Lovers Bob Roberts Society Band by Jimmy Buffet Catch the Wind by Donovan I have very eclectic music tastes, and the best times we have around music are Saturday nights listening to Prairie Home Companion. I grew up listening to PHC and it's so great to share it with my son! What I used to listen to when I nannied in Boston was this show from Emerson College called The Playground. Saturday and Sunday evenings you can listen online-you'll all love what you hear. http://www.wers.org/playground Oh...now I want to be back in Boston even more....

"We Will Rock You/We Are the Champions" is from the 70s.

I was totally laughing while I read this, though, Jordan. I found a "best of the 80s, 90s and now" station (with a heavy emphasis on the former two) and have it sequestered away in the far right spot on the button program, where my husband won't likely push. He's a pretty easy-going guy, but when I sing 80s songs, it drives him nuts. :-) Old McDonald has been getting a LOT of play around our house lately ;-) .

And then there is the one at sporting events where it's: Na na na na na na HEY.....(and then you chant at the end "we're gonna kick the snot outta you HEY" ;) And then ones my kids love...."Hang on Sloopy" (of course, it's Ohio State University's theme song) and then there is the Pat Benatar song they know "Hit Me with Your Best Shot." Then there are the ones that come on Radio Disney now as "new" songs and the kids are blown away that we know ALL of the lyrics. Probably b/c they are remakes!!! Like "Walking on Sunshine." ;) I'm glad you see that it's important to pass on your past. :) What about that one they sing in Ferris Buehler….on th parade float….”Twist and Shout.”
