Rockabye Baby! Lullaby Renditions of...

[Halcohol]

Baby Rock Records

This site has lullaby renditions of all sorts of stuff, and it's creepy hearing songs like NIN's "Closer" done as a lullaby. Check it out, they've got albums of the Smashing Pumpkins, Tool, the Eagles, Metallica, the Cure, Led Zeppelin, etc.

Somehow, I was expecting this instead...

Lullaby - Shawn Mullins

I change some of the words to this song and slow it right down when I sing my son a lullabye:

"And then while I'm away,
I'll think of you all day"

"I'll pretend that I'm kissing,
This face I've been missing"

That is odd. Really odd.

haha Mother by Pink Floyd as a lullaby? How ironic if a mom plays that for her baby as it depicts mother's in a VERY bad light

Lullaby - Shawn Mullins

I used to dig that song.

What, my post or one of the others?

I almost always adapt songs and substitute words. My son's name is two sylables, so any song with the word BABY gets his name in it instead.

and if I think the song has an inappropriate verse, I modify it...

"Down will come baby,
Cradle and all"

got changed to

"Mommy will catch you,
Cradle and all"

and I added a verse to "Twinkle Twinkle"

"Twinkle, twinkle, little star
You're a sun shining from afar
Your light's travelled through space and time
Many years to reach these eyes of mine
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
Now I know just what you are"

the samples on the webpage arn't working so i can only listen to the ones on the myspace page. strangely enough i had an idea a few days ago of an album that would go through various styles every increasing in compexity. the first track would be a lullaby.
