2am thoughts – top ten songs (not) about parenting
1
I often catch myself singing ’Poonami’ to the tune of ’Tsunami’ by the Manics when changing nappy explosions. Which got me to thinking about all the other hits out there which are really (not) about parenting…..
10
Al Green – Lets Stay Together (We can do this!) (Can’t we???)
9
Oasis – (Eventual realisation that when it comes to ’routine’ you have to) Roll with it
8
The Enemy – This is real (Oh Shit)
7
The Beatles – All you need is love (and a decent travel system)
6
Faithless – Insomnia (4 hours max is plenty)

5
Bobby McFerrin – Don’t worry be happy (as they eat anything can get hands on / lick the carpet / get their head stuck in railings / wake up too early/ go to sleep too late / cry / have a leaky nappy. Then another / prod the dog / scream like they are being poked in the eye with a needle right in the middle of Tesco / bite the cat / scratch their sibling / vom on your new black top)
4
Guns n Roses – It’s So Easy (said no parent ever)
3
Tina Turner – (Despite all the heartaches – and headaches – this really is) The Best
