Rockabye Baby CDs: Nirvana, Metallica and The Beatles will get baby off to sleep
Babies. They’re lovely, aren’t they? They smell nice, as long as you plaster them in enough sweet-smelling powder. They sound delightful, as long as they’re not screaming until your ears melt. And they look just terrific. Like giant prawns, except in human form. Kind of.
I like babies when they’re asleep, as that’s when they tend to require the least effort from me. You can just look and coo. Look. Coo. Look. Coo. Easy. Not so easy if you’re a new parent, though, and you have to get junior off to sleep while simultaneously fighting the urge to blast out some rock music. What to do?
Pop on a Rock-a-bye Baby Lullaby CD, is what to do.
Rock-a-Bye Baby is a series of CDs that use baby-friendly instruments to create soothing lullaby versions of rock classics. You wouldn’t have thought “Smells Like Teen Spirit” would soothe baby into snoozy nirvana, would you? Well, check it out.
If you’re a Metallica fan, you can remind yourself how “Enter Sandman” sounds while, appropriately given the title, helping your nipper to catch some kip.
Other CDs in the Rockabye series include:
- U2
- Radiohead
- The Rolling Stones
- The Beatles
- Led Zeppelin
- Coldplay (you could also just try the original instrumentation for this particular act)
The site’s worth checking out if only to see the delightfully cute illustrations for each CD.
