Music for Kids

My anxiously-awaited Top 3 Picks from WXPN’s Top 10 Kids’ CDs of 2007:

• ‘Do What the Spirit Say Do’ by Sweet Honey in the Rock (uptempo Gospel to instantly elevate)
• ‘Have You Ever Really Looked at an Egg?’ by Peter Himmelman (well, have you?)
• ‘Poopsmith Song’ by Over the Rhine (because the speak-singing of the chorus is perfectly deadpan)
• and Honorable Mention for ‘Brush Your Teeth’ by the Dream Jam Band (for Mr. T-like earnestness and urban realism)
