Rockabye! Baby U2: It’s a beautiful…night

Posted by Amy on September 11, 2008

*Update: Congratulations to our winners: Diana G, Fran B, Sarah W, Jodi F, and Talitha L!

rockabye-baby-u2 Rockabye! Baby U2: Its a beautiful...night

We just can’t take loud rock music anymore.  That stuff is for the kids.  Give me some soft, soothing sounds of the glockenspiel, vibraphone and mellotron.

I’m totally kidding.  Well…sort of.

The cool thing is, the folks at Rockabye Baby! know what we modern parents want for our kids.  For instance, just this evening, I was listening to some lullaby tracks off of the Rockabye Baby! Renditions of U2 album and Eric yelled from the living room, “Hey, I know that song!”  and he wasn’t referring to an old nursery rhyme from his childhood.  Now that’s pretty cool.  What is also pretty cool is that this is one of the three albums that won an iParenting Media Award for “2007 Greatest Product”.

As my almost-three-year-old was sitting next to me at the table, painting, I asked her if she would like to fall asleep to these songs at night.  She paused for a moment to look up at me with that “Duh, mom” look on her face and matter-of-factly responded with “Yeah. But not right now.  I’m painting”.  I was just looking for her seal of approval.

There is a Rockabye! Baby album for just about every musical taste, from Pink Floyd to Bob Marley.  I’m always excited to hear who’s next on the Rockabye roster.

We’re in a giving mood this week - so we thought that we’d offer up five of the Rockabye Baby! Renditions of U2 to five of our readers.  To enter, head over to the Rockabye Baby! website, check out all of their current albums.  Come back here and leave a comment (comment section is underneath this post) and tell us what artist you think would make a great lullaby album.  Who knows, maybe they will take your suggestion and make it a reality.  : )

Giveaway ends on Friday, September 19th.  The winners will be notified via email the morning of the 20th (check your spam folder!) and we will update this post after they have been chosen.

    By Elizabeth on Sep 15, 2008

  71. I’d like to hear Phil Collins or Celine Dion

    By amandasue on Sep 15, 2008

  72. I actually gave this away as a baby gift to a friend, but I’d love to have a copy for our son!

    I think they should go old school and kick some Van Halen lullabies. It reminds me of a concert in high school where the guy was like “Okay, to tone it down for the last song we’re going to do a lullaby…” and he played Van Halen’s JUMP! I’d love to see how they tackle some of those classic rock hits!

    By Allison on Sep 15, 2008

  73. I think DMB would be awesome!

    By Sara G on Sep 15, 2008

  74. Wow, those are so fun!!! I would LOVE for Counting Crows to make one. They are my fave. Out of the ones already recorded, U2 would be my top pick…with Smashing Pumpkins second!

    How fun!!

    By Sarah W. on Sep 15, 2008

  75. Hmmmm… There needs to be a lullaby album of songs by the Smiths! I was singing “Sing Me To Sleep” to my baby today. It’s a little morbid, but it did the trick!

    By syd on Sep 15, 2008

  76. New Order may be good one. I would love to buy the Cure or the NIN versions.

    By MaryBeth I on Sep 15, 2008

  77. I would love that Eagles one but I am thinking Cyndi Lauper’s Time after Time would be a great lullaby as well!

    By Abby on Sep 15, 2008

  78. Oh my gosh, these CDs *taunt* me! I’ve been dying to hear what they sound like, and just today, on a trip to NYC, I hiked out of my way to a shop that I know sells them. And they were CLOSED! So still unheard, but still so fascinated…. I’d love to hear The Cure and U2. And for something they don’t make? Hubby and I can never hear enough Springsteen.

    By TwoWishes on Sep 15, 2008

  79. I love this giveaway - I grew up with U@ and my hubbys a fan. The cover of the U2 CD is a take on the boy in WAR.

    Well, I choose 2 CDS, Beach boys and Pink Floyd - they’re both so different yet mad an impression on me whilst growing up.
    THanks for the sweeps.

    By rebecca on Sep 15, 2008

  80. Too cool, I had heard of these CDs. Mine would have to be the Smashing Pumpkins. - Great contest.

    By Roberta on Sep 15, 2008

    By Mary A on Sep 16, 2008

  83. I would love a Paul Simon children’s album! Steeley Dan would be cool too.

    By Teresa P. on Sep 16, 2008

  85. I want to get the Nirvana, Metallica, and NIN for ME! (Ok, so my daughter would love them, too!)

  106. Enya
    gkstratos@yahoo.com

    By Gina Stratos on Sep 18, 2008

  107. Oh my goodness- I never heard of this before!! METALLICA lullabies?!! As in “Enter Sandman” :) ha ha ha! What an awesome site :D Pink Floyd would make an awesome CD- there’s much to choose from in their discography. I can imagine putting kids to sleep with Dark Side of the Moon! Also, Elvis Presley hasn’t been mentioned.

    By cathleen n. on Sep 18, 2008

  108. I would love to win this. Please enter me.

  111. david bowie would be awesome!

    By israel y on Sep 18, 2008

  112. Sheryl Crow!

    By Ed Nemmers on Sep 18, 2008

  113. I went over to check out the current albums. I was going to suggest The Cure, but that was one of the albums that had! How fun is that. I think it is a fun idea, and maybe they could have some older music like Frank Sinatra!

    By carrie Fountain on Sep 18, 2008

  114. Do the Carpenters qualify? I guess Creadence Clearwater Revival.

    By Betsy Pauzauskie on Sep 18, 2008

  115. How about Aerosmith? I think they would make a really good album!

    By Julie B on Sep 18, 2008

  116. Alison Krause would make a great lullaby album. She has this high lilting voice.

    By Teresa Wilcox on Sep 18, 2008

  117. Santana, Steely Dan, Phil Colins, Bon Jovi, Nora Jones, Josh Kelly and, of course, The Beatles would all be great!

    By Louise on Sep 18, 2008

  118. My choice: Bob Marley - All the way!! :D

    By Leah Juarez on Sep 18, 2008

  119. I think Bob Dylan could make a great lullaby album. He already recorded a version of “This Old Man” for a kids album and it was great. I think he could write some really great songs. Mr. Tambourine Man is almost like a lullaby. It puts me to sleep. Under the Red Sky is a great lullaby type song too but it would scare the kids (a kid baked in a pie?). Blowing in the Wind could be on the album and Just Like Tom Thumb’s Blues.

    By Alecia Gibson on Sep 18, 2008

  120. I think Reba McEntire or LeAnn Rimes.

    By Karen Rennirt on Sep 19, 2008

  121. I’d like to see Neil Young!

    By Brooke on Sep 19, 2008

  125. I think Sheryl Crow would make a great album.

    By Casey on Sep 19, 2008

  126. I think that Sarah McLachlan would make a great album. She has such a soothing voice.

    By Stacie R. on Sep 19, 2008

  127. Neil Diamond. Hmmm, maybe I’m just thinking of myself since I love Neil.

    By Sandy M on Sep 19, 2008

  128. I love my Queen’s Greatest Hits CD, and I think some of the songs on there would be great as lullabies!

    the_other_alice_(at)yahoo.com

    By Jenny on Sep 19, 2008
