My twist on "Lullabies"

For reasons unbeknownst to me, when Lukin was a baby, I would sing "The Boxer" by Simon and Garfunkle to him while I fed him, and/or held him. The same goes for "Under African Skies", by Paul Simon. These just happen to be the two that I always sang to Lukin when he was a baby. Not "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star". Not "Mary Had a Little Lamb". Although I do remember singing "All the Pretty Little Horses" from time to time.

So, as if it is not enough that I can't think of a name that I like for the new baby, I can't think of songs that I want to use for the baby either. I'm pretty sure that I will have to use the song "Overkill" by Lazlo Bane featuring Colin Hay, Colin Hay's version from the Cities 97 Sampler, or the version from Scrubs. Any of those will work because they are the slower versions. But a second constant song is hard to come up with.

I was leaning towards The Velvet Underground's "I'm Sticking With You", but everytime I go on Youtube, I find another song that I forgot that I liked.

It's weird because music is one of those things that takes you back to another time and place (kind of like certain smells). I can still remember three of the songs that I really liked and would sing along with when they came on the radio during my drive to work when I was pregnant with Lukin. In case anyone was curious, they were Staind: Right Here Waiting, DMB: Dreamgirl, and Rob Thomas: Ever the Same. I don't really have any songs like that now. Probably because I don't listen to the radio much anymore. I've become more of a CD or Sirius radio fan.

I have to wrap this entry up now because now I am thinking of more and more songs to listen to and play for baby on youtube...shopping, if you will.
