Above is the link to the conversation I had with Gavin Rossdale about being a dad/rock star. I'll be using quotes from this conversation later this week in my podcast when I discuss what songs to play for kids. One of the best resources for children's music is the WXPN show Kids Corner where I interned during college. They've always got cool stuff.
Here are five of my favorite songs for kids:
Istanbul (Not Constantinople) by They Might Be Giants
S-A-F-E-T-Y Dance by Men Without Hats
Old Dan Tucker by Bruce Springsteen
One Love by Bob Marley
Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys by Willie Nelson
As for some cooler "kids-only music" I've always been partial towards The Wiggles. I interviewed them for Day to Day a couple years ago.
Let me know if you have any suggestions for cool songs that aren't too annoyingly "kiddy" that you like.
