Question Songs to play for dancing with baby?
I have a few songs to dance to with Jake, but I need some more suggestions so I'll have enough for a good cd (or two or three!!!!)!! Nothing with sexual overtones, please

Some of the songs I have in mind--to give an example of what I'm looking for--are:

Walkin' on Sunshine by Katrina and the Wave
You Can't Hurry Love by Phil Collins
Lucille by Kenny Rogers (want the boy to know how to waltz, ya know!)
Groovy Kind of Love by Phil Collins (to slow things down)
Let's Hear it for the Boy by Denise Williams (I think she's the one that sings that)


And, y'all are going to think I'm an idiot for asking this, is that song "Hey Ya" sexual? I like to sing the "shake it like a polaroid picture" part to Jake with his name instead of the word "shake." And, who sings that?

Ohhhh, good one! I have that cd, too--how come I didn't think of it?

That's why I came here!

Hey Ya is by Outkast and it's kinda sexual.

http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/outkast/heyya.html

But, if you're just goofing around and having fun, I don't think it should matter. I mean, "Oh Mickey" is about a girl with a crush, but I think it would be perfectly suitable for dancing around with a baby - changing the lyrics to "oh baby, you're so fine" of course.

Here's a few!

"Wonderful World" and "The Harder The Come" and "I Can See Clearly Now" by Jimmy Cliff
"Take Me Home Country Roads" by John Denver (I personally love the Toots and the Maytals version, more dance-able too I think)
"Our House" by Madness
"Should I Stay or Should I Go?" by The Clash

Well you can tell the type of stuff I listen to...
There should be some U2 can throw in too.

Dang, that Outkast song would be perfect if not for that second chorus. I'm tempted to put it on there anyway.

modkitten, I'll be using some of those, too!

This is great! I'm truly hoping to get enough tunes for several "crank up and dance" cd's!

Great workout and great bonding!

One more Jake/shake song: "Jump in the line" by Harry Belafonte

And how about the quintessential dancing baby song (Ally McBeal fans represent! ) - "Hooked on a feeling" by BJ Thomas.

Great ideas! Keep 'em coming, please! I've decided that anything I don't use for "Jake's mix" I may use on a walking tape for me! I've come up with a few more, too, like "Dancin' in the Dark" by Springsteen and maybe something by John Cougar Mellancamp--not sure what yet. Oh, and "Take on Me" by A-ha.
