What non-traditional lullabies do you sing to LO?
I need some more songs in rotation. Camp songs/acoustic favorites, that sort of thing.
Right now, I sing "House at Pooh Corner" and "Please Come to Boston" by Kenny Loggins, "Godspeed (Sweet Dreams)" by the Dixie Chicks and "Insomniac" by Billy Pilgrim. I love snuggling with DS in the dark and singing to him. DH can't sing so this is a special mommy/son time.
ETA: By non-traditional, I mean not "rockabye baby" "twinkle twinkle little star"

Re: What non-traditional lullabies do you sing to LO?
"Lullaby" by Billy Joel "Desperado" by the Eagles
I do sing the Winnie the Pooh song when we're winding down
As I'm dressing him for bed I sing "Goodnight Sweet Heart" (See 3 Men and a Little Baby for reference)
I used to sing the song from Dumbo when he was really little, Baby Mine
And occasionally I'll sing the Beatles song, In My Life
I saw James Taylor when I was pregnant with DD. This post made me smile. Good choices.
Not sure if these are nontraditional- "Maybe" from the movie Annie, "Love Changes Everything" by Andrew Lloyd Weber (I remember singing it in chorus in high school), and "Santa Fe" from Newsies.
I just like the lyrics.

awww, this is making me want to wake LO up, snuggle her and sing her back to sleep
Totally!
And, I saw Pat Benetar and REO Speedwagon while I was pg with Hart, but I don't think Hit Me with Your Best Shot or Keep on Lovin' You constitute as good lullabies
dang
The "Sing Me To Sleep" - Indie Lullabies compilation is awesome. It's my favorite, I actually used to listen to it in the car before LO was born.
Oops, as far as stuff I sing...it's mostly russian lullabies. Stuff I grew up hearing my grandma and Mom sing. Mostly it's "In A Glade", Milla Jovovich does a decent cover of it:
I stick with musicals: "On My Own" and "Castle on a Cloud" from Les Mis, "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" from The Wizard of Oz, and "Edelweiss" from Sound of Music.
This is my go-to song to sing to my daughter. She loves it. I sing a lot of old standards and motown as well.
I love singing to a baby boy You'll Be in My Heart by Phil Collons from Tarzan. You probably know that one though since your siggy calls your LO a man-cub!
