Babies - new excuse for old elevator music

Friends of mine with new babies have alerted me to some interesting song remakes (thanks Tim in Chicago).  Specifically, classic and hard rock & roll tunes are changed into lullabye format!

Example CD titles are "Rockabye Baby!" and "Babies Go..." (e.g., Babies go AC/DC - yes, that does exist!).

Here is the Rockabye Baby! rendition of Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" (yeah, I love this song):

Another example -- their rendition of Guns-N-Roses' "Sweet Child o' Mine" (with intended irony, I'm sure):


In my opinion, these are just "elevator music"/muzak versions that use baby-oriented timbres... but why not?

How about another song to help your baby sleep peacefully... "Comfortably Numb" by Pink Floyd:

However, I'm not so sure about others you'll see on YouTube:

- AC/DC's "Highway to Hell"?
- Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody"?
- Kiss' "Rock & Roll all Night"???

They're probably making a mint on these songs...
