Your Song

I come from a very musically inclined family. Not that any of us can sing, we just do anyway.

My sister recently blogged about how she is always making up songs for things. I think it must be genetic. Growing up we had songs about everything and now I find that my little family is starting to have songs for everything. Tommy and I have "our song" (Can't take my eyes off of you).
The kids all have "thier" song.
Tate - Your song, by Elton John ~ I hope you don't mind that I put down in words how wonderful life is now your in the world.
Hudson - Sugar Sugar by the Archies ~ You are my candy girl and you've got me wanting you(Although Tate and I used to joke that her song was Doin' time by Sublime ~ this was due to the chorus "evil, i've come to tell you that she's evil, most definetly. It was really funny when she was going through her terrible ones and twos)
Harper - Can't help falling in love with you by Lick the Tins (has to be this version from Some kind of Wonderful) ~ Wiseman say only fools rush in, but I can't help falling in love with you.

Some of our made up songs include (when taking a bath, to the tune of work your body by Will Smith)
"wash your body, wash wash your body.
wash your body, wash wash your body.
Slow down girl you've got to clean your body"

or a Rasmussen classic
(when putting on lotion)
lotion, lotion, lotion
lotion is a potion
the potion is in the lotion.

And for those times the kids obey:
Good job Hudson, Good job Hudson, Good job Hudson
You did a good job!

Wow! We are quirky. What are your families quirky traditions?
