Crooning

You know in movies how they hear a nice song and they always say, ever so softly, "I remember my mother used to sing that to me...ah, the memories, the sad sweet memories...boo hoo hoo!" Well, I've decided I'm going to be one of those moms! Because I want to have the power to turn my hypothetical children to mush at will. That would totally happen.

So I'm working on my "crooning" playlist. Here's what I have so far:

• Moon River (from Breakfast at Tiffany's)
• As Time Goes By (from Casablanca)
• Crazy (Patsy Cline)
• Someone to Watch Over Me (from the only solo I've ever sang in public...high school jazz concert, be glad you weren't there)
• Landslide (Fleetwood Mac, duh)
• Vienna (Billy Joel, huh-duh)
• God Bless the Child (Billie Holiday)
• La Vie en Rose (okay don't laugh, I'm not trying to be a copycat, but I loved the last season of How I Met Your Mother, and this song did it!)

Add to these, of course, the regular lullabies like the one from Mary Poppins (I'm pretty sure this is the album I listened to when I was a kid so long ago...#6!)

A Side Note: I tried singing to my 14-month-old nephew to put him to sleep, and all I got was sticky baby hand to the FACE. Literally, he kept putting his hand over my mouth. Burn.

What do you think of my choices? Do you have any you would add?
