“Babysitting Playlist (Xmas 2019 Version)” by Richard F. Yates

[If it ain't obvious, this is a digital drawing by me. I gave myself permission to use this image that I created for this post about a playlist I put together, although I had to argue and bribe myself before I could convince myself it was a good idea to give me permission to use my artwork. I'm kind of a jerk to me sometimes...though I eventually relented and granted myself permission... ---RFY]

I’ve probably already mentioned this, but I frequently babysit my granddaughter, Felicity, while her mom (my older daughter) works two or three days per week. To help make the experience more enjoyable for BOTH of us, I’ve been making YOOOTOOOB playlists of (mostly) music, but some cartoons, as well. Well, I’ve got the kid again tomorrow, so I thought I’d make a NEW playlist, this time focusing on some Xmas tunes! There are a few non-holiday cuts that the kid seems to like (she’s only five months old, so it’s hard to know for sure), so I’ve kept those in (from the last playlist), and I’ve tried to add some other stuff that I like---and hopefully she won’t mind, as well.

If you saw my LAST babysitting playlist, you’ll probably recognize a few of these songs, but most of this one is new stuff. Without too much more jabber-jawing, here’s the NEWEST list of entertaining tunes---many of which are freaky, weird, silly novelty cuts, which I’d be surprised if very many people knew! (Let me know if you're already familiar with some of these weirdo tunes!)

[Disclaimer!!! At least one of these songs has “bad words” in it that you probably shouldn’t play for little kids---but I’m an EVIL grandpa, so it’s my duty to expose the baby to all the bad stuff in the world, (like Snoop Dog…) Regardless of my position on little kids and cuss words, I thought I’d let YOU folks know that this list is not entirely kid friendly!]

Here’s a link to the music, if you want to listen to it yourself:

And that’s today’s weirdo music playlist! It’s just under 50 percent Christmas, pretty ‘80s heavy, especially new wave / Italo disco type tunes, and includes LOTS of silly novelty songs. I love funny stuff, and holiday funny stuff is particularly entertaining to me.

If you know of any other holiday novelty tunes, feel free to post them in the comments below! I’m always looking for new stuff to listen to!!

Later skaters!
