I have a four-year-old cousin. He loves to laugh and tell jokes. A lot of his favorite TV shows are comedies. (Kids' comedies, of course) Anyways, I think that it is about time to start introducing him to some of Al's songs. I need help deciding what songs of Al's I should play for him. I'm think that he would like Weasel Stomping Day a lot. (Don't worry, I'm sure it would not upset him.) But what are some other kid-friendly Al songs that I can play for him?

Maybe something accordion based would be good. Probably best to leave the parodies until he's old enough to appreciate that it's to the tune of another song.

Obviously, the ones kids like... The Saga Begins, Yoda, Eat It, eBay, etc.

Also... Fat, Lasagna, White and Nerdy, Attack of the Radioactive Hamsters, Dare to be Stupid...

ooh, yeah, dare to be stupid's a good idea.

I was thinking maybe also YP. His friend had a birthday party and burned a CD for his party-favor a few months ago and it had You're Beautiful on it. So if he's actually heard the song and not just skipped over it every time it comes up, that might be a good idea.

Hello Barney Slayer, I'm sure your young cousin will like the following from Al:

White And Nerdy
I Love Rocky Road
Fat
Eat It
Here's Johnny
Trash Day
Achy Breaky Song
(This Song's Just) Six Words Long
The White Stuff

You could also show him Polkamon, if he's into that...


And I wouldn't recommend Virus Alert (cause it has porn in it) or Here's Johnny (just because he wouldn't know who Al's talking about.)

It's amazing how much you really have to scan a song before you can play it for a little kid.....

"Patterns" might be a good one too, since it's a learning song.

Any of the polkas. Or "The Night Santa Went Crazy" (not the 'Extra Gory' version though).
