I have a two year old and an 11 month old (yeah, I'm efficient) so I'm really into The Wiggles and The Doodlebops right now. It's pretty hardcore stuff.:D

 

If I was in a bar and someone put down The Wiggles, it would be on!:mad:

 

The Train Song

Hot Potato, Hot Potato

Toot Toot Chugga Chugga, Big Red Car

My Ukulele

I've been on a fingerstyle kick but used to play and sing a lot more. Lately I've getting into it more since getting involved with the band at my church. Nowadays most of the stuff is contemporary praise stuff though and I don't always play and sing.

 

Anyway, here's what I used to play & sing before:

 

Tears in Heaven - Eric Clapton

More Than Words - Extreme

Knockin' on Heaven's Door - Bob Dylan

Dust in the Wind - Kansas (though I could never remember all the words)

Hotel California - The Eagles

Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin (it may be overplayed at music stores, but IMO when you can play it all the way through next to a campfire the song takes on a life of its own)

All Along the Watchtower - Bob Dylan

Wild World - Cat Stevens

Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd

Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd

Run Like Hell - Pink Floyd (though a friend used to do all the fancy lead guitar stuff on his electric)

Pride and Joy - Stevie Ray Vaughan (I try to emulate the acoustic version that was aired on MTV's SRV Unplugged)

Life By The Drop - Stevie Ray Vaughan

Tightrope - Stevie Ray Vaughan (though I admit I can't get all the way through it)

Run Around - Blues Traveler (but only far as I can get without forgetting the words/running out of breath)

The Mountains Win Again - Blues Traveler

Hook - Blues Traveler (again only far as I can get without forgetting the words/running out of breath)

 

As you can see, a lot of those songs are extremely dated though I will play them for my own amusement in the solitude of my home.
