Question for mothers and fathers... What song(s) do you sing to your child?

What songs do you sing to your child that aren't run-of-the-mill nursery rhymes?

I like to sing these to my baby when he's upset, or when I'm putting him to bed for the night...

Follow You Into The Dark by Death Cab For Cutie

Birds And Boats by Gregory And The Hawk

Wake Up by Coheed And Cambria

Update:

Haha... not a hooker, just me. Thanks for the compliment though.

    None these days due to the fact they are too old for me to sing to them but when they were younger:

    I've Been Working On The Railroad

    On Top Of Spaghetti

    I'm A Little Black Rain Cloud (Winnie the Pooh)

    Winnie the Pooh

    Take Me Out To The Ballgame

    This Old Man He Played One

    Ten Little Indians

    I know there were more songs but it's just been so long

    The only out of ordinary thing I think I may have done was read the original "non-sugar-coated" tales gathered by the Brothers Grimm.

    My kids are past the "singing them to sleep" stage, but we love to sing together. A lot of our songs are silly made up ones. The real songs we sing together are mostly just ones we hear on the local pop-rock radio station I have playing all day long. Stuff like Lady Gaga, Black Eyed Peas, Coldplay, etc.

    Our kids are all out of the "sing me to sleep" stage, but my youngest (23 months) loves when I sing "I don't want to live on the moon" from Sesame Street to her.

    In the car we listen to Michael Jackson, only because I have 4 kids in the backseat begging for me to put the cd in. I sometimes wonder if that's bad parenting that my nearly 2 year old knows the words to "Beat It", but then again it's adorable lol

    My son serenades me every day! It is the cutest thing I have ever seen, but then he is my little boy so I'm totally biased. the latest song is fireflies - city owl.
