Children's song recommendations?

[glen]

Being the coolest uncle since Herr Drosselmeyer, I am bringing my niece a CD of songs I think she will enjoy. She already has most of the standard children?s fair, Bob the Builder, Sesame Street, Raffi, etc?.
I try to give her some new stuff too, like:
Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens) ? Wild World, Peace Train, Moon Shadow
10CC ? The Things We Do For Love
Buckweat Zydeco ? Don?t Mess With My TooT Toot

Got any more ideas?

if kiddie music is still ok..

look at tom chapin..
look at kenny loggin's kiddie stuff..
cheech marin's stuff.. it's pretty amusing.
but.. look at tom chapin, if she doesn't have that already.. it's my favorite.

Download Built to Spill - Linus and Lucy. It's a great guitar version.
