Our little man was up all night last night. All. Night. We didn't know what was wrong with him, but he seems to be doing a lot better now. In the midst of our middle of the night shenanigans, I was reconnected with some great albums from my childhood.
1. Raffi "Singable Songs For the Very Young" - We actually went to hear him live and I remember how fantastic he was! His "I wonder if I'm growing", made me a little weepy last night, especially since our little man is now in the 3-6 month size of clothes - at only 9 weeks!
2. Anne Murray "Hippo In My Tub" - My mom LOVED Anne Murray, so it was a real home run when she released this children's album. Her version of "Hi Lili, Hi Lo" still makes me cry.
3. Ramones "Mania" - "Sheena is a Punk Rocker" is totally badass, and "Rockaway Beach" means so much more to me now that we actually spend summers there. I thought it was a made up place!
We had quite a nice dance party here last night, my little man and I. He just didn't want it to end at bedtime...
There are some other faves from childhood that I'm going to look for:
Little Richard - my dad LOVES Little Richard
Barry Manilow's Greatest Hits - my mom LOVED that album. I still remember the double record album that opened up to a big picture of his face (pre-plastic surgery)
The Smiths "Louder Than Bombs" - that one was all me. Nothing like British gay angst music, when you're a 14 year old Canadian girl.
The Pretty in Pink Soundtrack - still my favourite movie of all time and one of the best soundtracks EVER.
Well, back to my tired stupor and an attempt to hit the Goldberg Variations before Junior is reactivated.
