Summer of Fun


I feel like I should put a copyright symbol after the title. My friend coined this phrase last summer. She had scheduled summer activities for her boys and decided that they needed a summer of fun soundtrack CD for the car. I took her idea and the boys and I love it! The boys like choosing the songs as much as we like listening to it in the car. Here's what our Summer of Fun CD looks like for this summer...
Kung Fu Fighting- Carl Douglas (we're gearing up for the release of Kung Fu Panda)
Funkytown- Alvin and the Chipmunks
Witch Doctor- Alvin and the Chipmunks
Yakety-Yak- The Coasters
The Spiderman Theme Song (from the old cartoon)
The Transformers Theme Song (from the old cartoon)
You Don't Mess Around with Jim- Josh Turner (the boys love to substitute "daddy" for Jim in the song)
Brown Eyed Girl- Van Morrison (one of Aidan's favorites)
The Scooby Doo Theme Song- Kidz Bop Kids
You've Got a Friend in Me- Randy Newman (Toy Story)
Big House- Audio Adrenaline
Every Move You Make (not sure who sings this)
Baby Girl- Nicole C Mullen
Livin' La Vida Loca- Ricky Martin
Parents Just Don't Understand- DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince

Some of the ones we had last year
One Little Slip- Bare Naked Ladies (from the Chicken Little Soundtrack)
Life is a Highway- Rascal Flatts (from the Cars Soundtrack)
Little Wonders- Rob Thomas (from the Meet the Robinsons Soundtrack)
Love Shack- The B-52s

I'm looking for the Speed Racer song from the cartoon and checking into the Iron Man song. Its by Black Sabbath so I want to hear the words before I download to our CD- not sure what it says other than the chorus. My boys just want it because they like superheroes.

Just log on to ITunes or wherever you download music and let your kiddos choose. :)
