As a postscript to the earlier conversation—we were looking for rock\/pop songs, etc, and I think it’s a good idea to keep Children’s Music out of that whole discussion. There is a lot of good Children’ s Music out there, and it’s a different discussion. So perhaps to start that discussion, and perhaps for other, better reasons, here’s a song I know from a Cathy Fink and Marcy Marxer album, but I think it's by Red Grammer:\n

On the day that Jamey was born
\nOn the day that Jamey was born\n
On the day that Jamey was born\n
The angels sang and they blew on their horns\n
And they smiled, and they danced\n
And they raised up their hands\n
On the day, on the day the Jamey was born!<\/blockquote>\nThe song can be sung with any name, of course, and should be sung with everybody’s name. And, in fact, in the version I was talking about above (from All Wound Up!<\/I>), they end with a verse like this:\n
Today, someone’s being born.\n
Today, someone’s being born.\n
Today, someone’s being born.\n
The angels sing and they blow on their horns\n
And they smile, and they dance\n
And they raise up their hands\n
’cos today, ’cos today, someone’s being born!<\/blockquote>\n
