Mix Tape Redux

A few weeks ago, me and the hubs had a conversation about our children's musical education, and whether it has suffered for want of attention. It was less of a discussion than an agreement. So I am soliciting the best songs for kids to learn, and then I will make a CD (0r CDs) for my kids to listen to. If you don't want to post in the comments, send me an email. (Some may recall that I made my first kid mix tape back in the ponderous 15th month of my pregnancy last year.) I am not looking for the best songs ever, just really good songs kids can listen to but which are not necessarily kids' songs. Here's some to start, based solely on what I thought of when I was listening to the first song on the list:

1. I Feel For You, Chaka Khan
2. Tears of A Clown, Smokey Robinson
3. Graceland, Paul Simon
4. Something by Stevie Wonder
5. Shining Star by Earth, Wind and Fire
6. Something by The Band. Maybe Up on Cripple Creek

Okay, I need more.

Update: In reality, You Can Call Me Al is the song a kid would want to hear from the Graceland album, but the fact is, I am sick of that song. I haven't listened to it in years, but because it conjures Chevy Chase in my mind, I can't dig it. I decided not to overthink it and went with my original choice. Graceland the album shows up the problem with the iPod approach; its a great album in its entirety, and even Al is tolerable in its midst.

Update 2: Ahem, Apple/iTunes employee-readers. Among your library's glaring omissions is a distinct lack of Larry Hargrove's "Leave Bill Clinton Alone". Not that its accessible to children, I was just feeling nostalgic for some Arkansas Red.
