OK, I'll trust you. But my baby "nephew" is Polish, so his parents got him a Polish choildren's CD, and I didn't get tired of that one at all. Now his mother cursed me for burning one particular song into her brain becuse I kept singing it to him all the time, but i never got tired of it. And it was amazing how songs I haven't heard in decades came back to me when I heard the cheezy synthesized versions. So my baby nephew got the real versions, with his Uncle Comrade singing and dancing like a silly grown-up version of the silly baby boy my nephew is... :)
Comrade,
You hit the nail on the head. Something about kids songs in other languages are great. Wife is Japanese, so Japanese kid's songs are so much better, not sure if it's because I can't understand them all that well, but the lyrics are more interesting.
Glad to hear your nephew has a great uncle to be around. That's important in his life. Here's to happy days with him!
And don't get me wrong, I love my kids and would never trade anything for them, just sometimes hearing the same thing over 5,000 times in a row gets a little old.
