    (I know I always bitch and moan about threads being in the wrong forum, so I'm doubly sorry if this doesn't belong here.)

    Just curious as to any of your guys' favourite lullabies, if you remember any. Ones that you liked as a youngster, or ones that you sing to your own (or plan to). Of course this applies not only to traditional lullabies, but all songs which induce sleepy time goodness.

    Does Puff the Magic Dragon count? I have a windup music box/mirror that plays this song, and it brings me back to an old memory I had of being 3 or 4 years old at home, together with my parents.

    I remember when my aunt was baby sitting me (around when I was 4-5 yrs old) and putting me to sleep, she would sing this over and over until I go to sleep while patting my legs...

    My mom made up a song for me as a baby set to the Indiana Jones theme song. Not very original though but it's cute.

    My parents always used to sing "Feelin' Groovy" by Simon and Garfunkel, or "Strawberry Fields Forever" by The Beatles. I still love both those songs.

    Your parents actually sang lullabies to you all?

    This is alien to me!

    If I need something to help me sleep, I can usually rely on certain sounds and videos. I have something called ASMR, which makes me very alert and sensitive to certain sounds. It's the reason I can have a hands free orgasm, LOL.

    Not really a lullaby. My parents never sang me lullabies...

    Mom used to sing me this whenever I got hurt:

    Sana sana colita de rana, si no sana hoy sanará mañana.

    Heal, heal, little frog's tail... if it doesn't today, it will heal tomorrow. :slight_smile:

    My parents never sang for me when I was little kid. And for good reason; my mom was tone deaf, and my dad wasn't about to sing the Ramones' Beat on the Brat to get me to sleep, hahaha.

    But my grandmother used to sing to me to calm down, and it's not really a lullaby. But she used to sing Carmen Miranda's Mamãe Eu Quero. I still get it stuck in my head sometimes.

    Otherwise, the haunting lullabies of the Swedish people are beautiful. My favorites there are Byssan Lull and Vem Kan Segla Förutan Vind, the latter of which I believe was the basis for Davy Jones' locket lullaby in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest.

    My parents didn't sing for me, but I love Brahms' Lullaby (Wiegenlied: Guten Abend, gute Nacht), it is such a beautiful and soothing song.
