I totally respect the varied and deep muso knowledge held by everyone on this forum. Therefore I was interested in suggestions you have for tracks where the lyrics tell a story or have a very specific meaning/philosophy.
My 8yr old girl is massively into music, real music, which is great. She hasn't a clue what X Factor or 1D is in fact and I intend to keep it that way! But where she hooks into songs is in the lyrics. She likes stuff that tells a story or has a clear meaning (and obviously the tune needs to be great too). Examples of stuff she likes now...
Rocky Raccoon - The Beatles Children's Story - Slick Rick Chuck Es in Love - Rikki Lee Jones War Pigs - Black Sabbath
Your suggestions could help make a great playlist, thankee sirs!...
I wish I hadn't seen this thread. It has only made me think of tracks I wish I could forget and wouldn't want to hear ever again, so I have to share the pain:- Deck of cards Two little boys
Are there any worse than those two - I'm switching off my brain so I don't need to think of them.

Nearly all the 1st Arctic Monkeys album. May not be suitable for 8 year olds, though. PJ Harvey - You Said Something The Jam - Town Called Malice, Eton Rifles, Down in the Tube Station at Midnight Decemberists - Valencia Elbow - Scattered Black & Whites Waterboys - Whole of the Moon U2 - New Year's Day, Sunday, Bloody Sunday

"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the Earth all one's lifetime." (Mark Twain)

Country music, the only downside being you have to listen to it too. Kenny Rogers or Marty Robbins, the highlight of many a family party when I was a nipper.

When my kids were about that age, my sister-in-law, who has a fatal weakness for easy listening, gave my wife one of those Music to Watch Girls By compilations for the car. The kids loved it - Mack the Knife, Come Fly with Me, Do You Know The Way to San Jose, What's New Pussy Cat, House of Bamboo, etc. Even though I got a bit sick of it, I was happy for them to listen to something a bit better put together than the dross they hear on Capital.
