When my daughter was young I made her some mixtape CD's with her name on them. I can't remember if I ever posted any here. But now I am a grandpa (Opa in my home) so I picked a mixtape for my grandson. He hasn't had the chance to hear it yet. That will be soon. Not necessarily kids songs (although some are) but songs that kids could like and that parents won't instantly hate. I am posting these because Butterboy posted a Childhood memories comp that was really good and it reminded me that I had this one waiting in the wings.

when you want the modern children songs: K3
look them up, gold, pure gold.
I remember K3 from when my daughter was young. Weren't they Belgian? Some of my nieces there loved them. M'n Opa reminded me of fishing with my Opa in S'Gravenhage. My other Opa always had Mentos in his pocket for us boys. I don't think he ever ate one, but always some for ua
DeleteYes K3 is Belgian, but also huge in The Netherlands. The Original members are in their 40s, early 50s now. They changed often one of theirs to keep young for the kids.
DeleteThe Original K3, this year, has sold out Ahoy, Rotterdam multiple times with extra concerts added.
Maybe you remember Kinderen voor Kinderen
Op een onbewoond eiland or Ha Ha Ha je vader, ja, je vader die is gek. Je bent zelf al niet zo lekker, maar je vader die is gekkerder dan gek.
Don't know any of them
