Alternative Lullaby Music for Children + Giveaway!
Good news for those of us who are fans of music from bands such as U2, Metallica, Nine Inch Nails and The Beatles and want to introduce this music to our children.
Rockaby Baby! transforms punk, metal and timeless rock into instrumental lullabies by trading guitars and drums for soothing mellotrons, vibraphones and bells. The music becomes soft enough for the little ones, yet the melody stays the same.
When I first heard about the idea I found myself with an expression of disbelief. Wouldn’t this ruin the music?
I heard some short bits of music provided at the Rockabye Baby! website and two albums that was sent to me – More Lullaby Renditions of The Beatles og Lullaby Renditions of Tool.
I was pleasantly surprised, as they seem to be able to stay in tune (no pun intended) with the soul of the songs whilst changing it radically in order to make it sound just like a lullaby. What they do really works and it is music I would recommend to any music loving parent.
Rockabye Baby! has made 28 lullaby albums until now, with music from bands like U2, Metallica, Rolling Stones and AC/DC.
All Rockabye Baby! albums can be bought through their website for 16,98 USD.

i am in full “agree” mode
Metallica, definitely!!
I love Led Zepplin and I LOVE Rockabye Baby Lullabys
Aerosmith!!!!
My favorite band overall is the Lawrence Arms, but my favorite of the Lullabys is the Ramones. I already own the Cure one, though, and that one is pretty great.
Guns n Roses is so great!
I am totally addicted to these albums now! I was definitely nervous about what they might sound like but they are absolutely mind blowingly wonderful!
What a cool idea…I have a 10-month old and am so sick of Wiggles and the limited music choices for babies. Thanks for doing this for us still hip moms! I am so in love! If id have to pick a fav…its gotta be Queen!
My current favorite?? Weezer, though my 5 month old seems to enjoy the Beatles!
Rascal Flatts

Oh my gosh, I have seen those albums for sale before but they’ve never had my favorite in stock – Nirvana!!! I lived and breathed for Nirvana in my high school years (in fact, I think I still have some of my old flannel shirts and holey jeans in my closet!).
