Babies are adorable. Everyone loves them. They have the mysterious power to take an otherwise grumpy and cold scrooge and turn them into a lovable teddy bear. And thanks largely to recent Shore Fire Media client Sing to Your Baby, I’ve been getting all nostalgic and such thinking about what it was like when I was younger.

And Sing to Your Baby creators Cathy Fink & Marcy Marxer would probably be very proud of my parents! I distinctly remember when I was nothing more that a wee tot, that my parents would constantly be playing music to me and singing along. I can’t think of a time when there wasn’t a record/tape/CD spinning in my house.

And what were my parent’s favorite songs to sing to me? My mom would serenade me with the ever adorable Loggins & Messina’s “Danny’s Song” while my dad would sing “Shine On You Crazy Diamond” by Pink Floyd (yeah, yeah…I know the song is actually kind of dark, but I was an infant and didn’t know who Syd Barrett was).

Both of those songs (along with many more) will be forever ingrained in my mind, thanks to the never ending musical that was my childhood. What about you? Are there any songs you remember your parents singing to you as a child? If you have kids, what songs do you sing to them?
