heres my list San Fransicso California Dreamin Monday Monday Turn Turn Turn Happy Together Age of Aquarius
The Beachwood Sparks sound like Buffalo Springfield, they are really good. Anything by Gram Parsons is great.
I was also thinking maybe some songs from The Zombies album Odessey & Oracle. Especially the songs "Care Of Cell 44" and "Beachwood Park." Kids would like those songs... but so would adults!
Heh, and heaps of The Velvet Underground stuff wouldn't be good for a young one! See the songs: "Venus In Furs" "Heroin" "The Black Angel's Death Song" "European Son" "The Gift" "I Heard Her Call My Name" "Sister Ray" "The Murder Mystery" "New Age" "Oh! Sweet Nuthin'" I could never see a small child jamming to "Sister Ray!" However, as said before, heaps of The Velvet Underground stuff would be good for a young one. See the songs: "Sunday Morning" "I'll Be Your Mirror" "Here She Comes Now" "Candy Says" "Pale Blue Eyes" "After Hours" "Lisa Says" "Sweet Jane" (Live) "Lonesome Cowboy Bill" Plus others...
definately anything from CSN&Y's De je vu especially OUR HOUSE or teach your children, city of new orleans, kooks by david bowie... hopefully this is still of help to you
Hmm... a gentle light-hearted happy song that doesn't have the word Hippy all over it? Look no further than: Shawn Lee - Happiness.
Oh there are many calm slow, nice great songs from Beatles, or one of my favourite real strange..., but this song is like lullaby...I just love it:"Nights in White satin" By Moody Blues
Melanie - I've got a brand new pair of roller skates, you've got a brand new key. my little sister loves that song. (my parents named her after the singer)
