I sing two songs that Olivia likes: Shortin' Bread and The Banana Boat Song (Day-O!). Well, maybe three if you count Itsy, Bitsy Spider, but I think the appeal there is mostly in the hand motions.
When it comes to calming her down, Shortin' Bread works every time. I throw in Banana Boat for a little variety, and believe me, variety is sorely needed. I'm dedicating a little time today to expanding my repertoire. I've tried to hone in on what it is those two songs have in common. My best guess is an upbeat tempo and lyrics that fill up lots of space. Who can say what makes them so babytastic?
Next up: Ob-la-di Ob-la-da, You are my Sunshine
