The Batpup has wildly eclectic tastes in music and videos. Here's a selection.

I heard Gotye's Heart's A Mess on a shop's muzak system one time, and remembered enough of the words to google it and find this video. I like it because of the Alan Parsons Project-like harmonies; I think the BatPup likes it for the animation, which is quite hypnotic.





The Beloved picked Beautiful Boy as her song to sing the Boy Wonder, so I quite liked the symmetry of singing Elton John's Empty Garden to him as well. (Elton does a good eulogy, although filking his own song about a third-rate porn star to eulogise a British princess was perhaps a lapse in judgement.) The BatPup turned out to really like it, and this time I know it's the song rather than the video:



I usually have to dredge my memory for songs to sing her at night, and this is one I memorised from the Proclaimers' excellent Sunshine on Leith (the title track of which used to be her favourite before she started demanding only "new" songs).

The BatPup has a very Battish sense of humour.

And finally, whooz_queen showed us this a while ago, and it was a hit:



Although not, oddly enough, as much as this one:



Now what I really need is more suggestions for quiet bedtime songs that I can sing and silly song videos that I can show her. My repertoire is running low...
