earworm : soundtrack for your baby

I had created this playlist of sorts, when i was doing Arwen's first birthday slideshow (and i plan to do one for her every birthday, so yeah i think i've got the songs pretty much covered for the rest of her life).

And then Farah twittered that she was looking for a song for Farell's slideshow, and i was about to email her this extensive playlist. but then i thought, i might as well just share it here for the rest of yous looking for a soundtrack for a project for their babies.

yeah, because if i try really hard, i can be nice.

hope this helps.
