Music Help

[wolffe]

I need songs appropriate for children, preferably jungle/animal themed for Jake's birthday party playlist. I have obvious things like songs from The Lion King and both Madagascars, but I'm stumped and only have 30 minutes worth of songs. Help!

The playlist so far:

Bare Neccessities - The Jungle Book
Beautiful Life - Fisher
Big and Chunky - Madagascar 2
Circle of Life - The Lion King
Crocodile Rock - Elton John
Dance Like an Animal - Eric Herman
I Like to Move It - Madagascar 2
I Want To Be Like You - The Jungle Book
In The Jungle (The Lion Sleeps Tonight)
Jungle Boogie - Kool & the Gang
One Dozen Monkeys - They Might Be Giants with Hannah Levine
Pollywog In a Bog - Barenaked Ladies
See You Later Alligator - Bill Haley and the Comets
Talk to the Animals - Lennon Sisters
What a Wild Tune - Barenaked Ladies

The Jungle Book?

Got a couple from there too. I don't want to get the whole albums because I'd rather have a variety, ya know?

I guess posting the playlist so far would be helpful, hunh?

The only thing I can think of is "The Lion Sleeps Tonight"

Got that one. I posted the playlist.

Five Little Monkeys jumping on the bed?

Though I think 30 minutes might be enough if you randomize it. Kids like repetition.

Really? The party is set for 2.5 hours long, so I was thinking an hour might be about right.

Well, the only party Adam has been to involved a lot of games and play time and no music. Kids were running around screaming and laughing anyway so I don't know if there had been music if it would have been noticed. hehe Course Adam is older than Jake and we never had a kids party for him when he was younger.

I have play time things, (bubbles and sidewalk chalk) but no games. I figured it would just be for background ambiance anyway. LOL
