OK, so I keep a kid’s playlist of fun rock and roll and novelty songs on my phone. I use it with my kids (14 and 9) when on long trips and we all have a good time. I’d like to expand it. Can you fine people recommend some that I’ve missed? To qualify, a song my be kid safe and available on iTunes. Here are examples of the current list: Summertime Blues Let’s Do It Witch Doctor Alice’s Restaurant Walk Like An Egyptian When I Fall One Week Never Is Enough Who Needs Sleep? When You Dream (the like BNL) Piano Man Hooked On A Feeling (Guardians of the Galaxy!) One Jump Ahead The Devil Went Down to Georgia Don’t Pay the Ferryman The Battle of New Orleans Iko Iko Girls Just Want to Have Fun Man of Constant Sorrow Dirty Laundry Star Trekkin’ The Blob Ti Kwan Leep Who Do You Love Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald The Battle of Kookamonga The Unicorn White Rabbit Margaritaville Everyday People I Love Rock and Roll Route 66 Summer Nights A Boy Named Sue Code Monkey Ikea Zombies on Your Lawn Just A Girl It’s the End of the World As We Know It Lunatic Fringe The No No Song Tom Sawyer Freewill Wooly Bully Just Glue Song Gears On It (and Call it Steampunk) Tainted Love Wig Wam Bam We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together Silent All These Years Pride Science Fiction/Double Feature Time Warp She Blinded Me With Science Mexican Radio The Banana Splits Theme Spiderman (by The Ramones) One Tin Soldier Kung Fu Fighting Fly Like An Eagle Werewolves of London The Safety Dance We Got the Beat Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend Down Under Mickey Ghostbusters Footloose Kids in America How Bad Can I Be?
