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...
