Songs for youngsters
Children's music is songs and recordings created specifically for young listeners, typically featuring simple melodies, repetitive lyrics, and themes appropriate for kids—animals, counting, bedtime, silliness.
The category spans lullabies, nursery rhymes, educational songs, and contemporary kid-pop.
Some children's music aims equally at parents who must endure endless repetition: We've listened to that album a thousand times.
