what is it about babies loving old Bee Gees recordings?

[CTyankee]

My 6 month old grandson rocks out to "Stayin' Alive" and my son and dtr in law (who are kind of music snobs in a nice way) are chastened, but of course delighted nonetheless because he is SO cute when he wriggles along with those boys...so what's the deal?

1. Dunno, yank,

but I hope mine does! Won't be born 'til December, so will take a while to find out!

THANKS for idea for a baby gift!!!

6. It's fun what you find out about your grandkids...and quite amazing to watch them grow...

I swear that I can see my mother in my youngest granddaughter...sometimes it's breathtaking...

2. Well, probably because it is 'good dance music'.....

Almost hurts to say that, but it was the height of the disco era, and the rhythms they used was made to get people's feet moving.

Babies will react to that, just like us.

But any good toe-tapper from any era should do the same.

5. And here I thought i was because I always loved the BeeGees and my kids thought I was

incredibly clueless musically...LOL...now I'm VINDICATED at last!!!

I adored disco...I thought John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever was incredible...

7. Was and still IS incredible, yank!!!

3. It's the falcetto voices

our kids once heard Frankie Valley and Four Seasons and went wild.

4. I hadn't thought of that!

Now I'm wondering about some other falsetto sung music...will try the Frankie Valli and four seasons on him and see what happens...

8. My then 3 year old daughter used to rock out to ZZ Top's "Sharp Dressed Man".

Twenty years later, she wasn't so impressed.

9. Don't forget Alvin & the Chipmonks for babys

get ear plugs for yourself ---our kids loved any cartoon voices and Cyndi Lauper who we loved too.
