25 Car Tunes for Kids and Parents
Babble?s Lindsay Armstrong lists the songs that will bridge the rhapsodic generational gap.   (Shutter Stock)

Parents, don’t let Disney's catalog of saccharine tunes ruin any more of your road trips. There are songs that can bridge the generation gap, Lindsay Armstrong writes on Babble:

  • Jackson Five’s “ABC”: School the kids on the alphabet and pop music—all at once.
  • Billy Idol’s “Dancing with Myself": If it’s good enough for the Muppets, it’s good enough for your brood.
  • Simon and Garfunkel’s “Me and Julio": The kids will love characters like “Mama Pajama” and “Rosie, the Queen of Corona.”

  • The Beatles’ “Hey Jude": “Take a sad song and make it better.” Is there a better life lesson?
  • Bob Marley’s “Three Little Birds": “It’s illegal to make a summertime mix that doesn’t include at least one Marley song.”
  • The Beach Boys’ “Wouldn’t It Be Nice": Kids grumble that they can’t wait to grow up and get their way. Now they can sing about it, too.
