I’ve searched high and low for great kids’ playlists and, frankly, they all kinda suck.

So I’ve taken it upon myself to share with you the ultimate kid-friendly playlist of songs that won’t drive you crazy.

You see, when I was pregnant, I went on a music fast that involved removing all non-religious music from my playlists in favor of spiritual songs and hymns that prepared my heart for the transformative experience of becoming a mom.

As nice as it was… it grew rather old.

Once my son was born, my former playlist of Lil Wayne and Drake were replaced with foreign language songs, classical music, and religious ballads à la the now debunked Mozart Effect.

Eventually my little one craved some songs he could shrug his little shoulders to; so I chose playlists like Disney or Jazz Greats, but we quickly grew tired of these.

Frankly, if I heard one more “showtune” I was going to throw my phone out the window.

Alas, is there life after The Little Mermaid Soundtrack (over and over again)?

YES.

That’s when I began the task of carefully selecting “popular” songs that my child would be able to dance to, but which wouldn’t drive me up a wall.

What came next was a playlist of 100 songs that my son and I love to listen to while working out, hiking, driving, dancing, or doing puzzles.

These aren’t categorically “clean” songs.  There are lyrics that can be interpreted as highly sexual or questionable in some of the songs, I’m no fool about that.

However, these tunes are happy, fun, carefree, and free of cuss words… or at least as far as I’ve seen.

If you’re looking for a fun playlist that won’t drive you up a wall, rely on this epic Dance Party playlist I’ve created for my toddler.
