I can only take about ten minutes of Pandora's Toddler Music Radio before I want to light my hair on fire and throw myself out the second floor window. The high-pitched voices and folk music combination is just too much for me.
Cri Cri, on the other hand, is a perfect compromise between my music and baby K's. It has that nice pre-50's orchestra feel, really Disneyish actually. Cri Cri is the singing cricket character by Francisco Gabilondo Soler, who was born in Mexico and had a popular radio show there in the '30's. I don't know too many of the songs, and the one I know best is "El Raton Vaquero." I've been doing this crazy skipping dance for baby K that makes her go crazy laughing and she tries to mimic it and falls. Again, I'm a babosa, and I dance like a babosa for the sake of making baby K happy.
You can find the songs and listen to the mp3s online here, then download the ones you like on iTunes or buy the CD on Amazon.

you gotta be kidding me! I love Cri Cri. I Used to listen to him for hours when I was a kid. Who needed Disneyland when you had Cri Cri, well……maybe not that much, but still, just saying….I still listen to him (although my kids don’t want to ;)
