Editorial Reviews

If you've been operating under the impression that songs with the word "bloody" in the title can't make for good lullabies, guess again: given the Baby Rock treatment, "Sunday Bloody Sunday" sounds infant-tested, sandman-approved. And, more important, not even the tiniest bit absurd. With their glockenspiels, vibraphones, and mellotrons, the Baby Rock magicians have spun sweetness and a soothing vibe into everything from "Smells Like Teen Spirit" to "Stairway to Heaven"; given the unthinkable nature of those undertakings, this one seems almost too easy. "All I Want is You" is a little on the snuggly side to begin with, after all, and so is "The Sweetest Thing." No matter how high the bar is set, what's consistent about this series is its knack for getting eyelids to drooping and rock fans to chuckling: Bono and the Sandman make for strange bedfellows, but entertaining ones. --Tammy La Gorce

We had been trying to use a music box to play music to get the baby to go to sleep at night. Trouble was, it wouldn't play more than a minute or two. I ran across these things and thought they'd be a little goofy. But I bought a couple anyway. The songs are remarkably recognizable though they are definitely lullaby-like. Works wonders! I can put it in the CD player and set it to "sleep" mode and on "shuffle" and off she goes to sleep. I HIGHLY recommend these CDs.

I don't have any children, but I have a high-stress job. I jokingly asked my husband for a "lullaby" to put me to sleep at night. He came up with these and I love them! They don't really put me to sleep, but they make me feel happy and I'm a whole lot more calm. It is better than listening to the actual U2 songs because I can hum it through the day without having the words run in my mind all the time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great children's bedtime music that won't annoy adults, October 4, 2007

These Rockabye cds are great. We have about 6 of them. We buy the one's that are of the bands we like. That way the kids listen to them before bed and we don't mind because we are singing the words in our heads to our favorite songs. Who ever created these is ingenious. No words and the music is changed just enough to make it sound kid friendly yet is so true to the original songs that you can't help humming along. Not too mention when a song comes on some where else I find my oldest humming along. It is so cool. I recommend all of these cds. Buy your favorite band, the kids will love it.
