I was searching for baby tunes on
eMusic and look what I just found: lullaby renditions of rock music!
Rockabye Baby! is a label that makes cool children's music by arranging rock songs to be gentle enough for sleeping babies. The synthesized arrangements are all kind of similar, with
glockenspiel for the main melody, and occasional bird chirps or
ratchets as accents. (Incidentally, Wikipedia says that the ratchet is also known in Yiddish as a
grogger which I saw and heard at a Purim service on Saturday.)
Here's a list of the albums they have available on eMusic:
The Rockabye Baby website has even more:
Beach Boys,
Bjork,
Kanye West,
U2...
Linda Ronstadt did an album of song covers arranged for newborns called "Dedicated To The One I Love".
