Does anyone know any songs.....

That has the name James or Jamie in it? I like to sing songs with the boys name in it but I don't know any. Help?

 

I use some tune I know and make up songs about what the babies are doing. They love it. It sounds real stupid and I hope no one ever hears me, but the babies don't care. They don't know any better.

 

My mom has a song for all of her grandchildren but not for my poor Seamus (which actually is James in Gaelic)! She has to sing any song and put his name in it!

 

There is a company that makes CD's with songs with your child's name in it (any name!) I have a CD for my older son. IF you want the company name, PM me! It was like $15!

 

It's not a childs song but Sweet Baby James by James Taylor

 

Billy Joel has a song "James". Not a children's song, but these are the lyrics...

I was going to say this one. Neither of my twins are named James, but I love this song so I sing it to them in my terrible voice!!

 

Okay, i have brenden and landon and there are no songs about them...but - when we're rocking them, they love when i sing "you are my landon/brenden" to the tune of you are my sunshine... get it?

so yours could be:
you are my james
my only james
you make me happy when skys are gray
you'll never know dear how much i love you
so please dont take my james away....

the boys smile when i start singing it and after about 5 times, they're sleeping...

 

All my kids like "My Bonny lies over the Ocean", but I substitute their names for Bonny. I know it's a sad song, but they think it's great.

 

I sing this little tune to Farmer and the Dell.....

My Katie and My Kyle, My Katie and My Kyle High Ho do you know My Katie and My Kyle....

I know its corny but they like it

 

I do the "You are my sunshine" song all the time and substitute their names.

 

i have a james also, we sing any old song and just stick his (their) names into it. Candy girl becomes Jamesy boy etc.... he may be scared for life from this!

 

I used the song from Bye bye Birdie "I love you conrad" but I put my own kids names in it instead.

We use the song "Hey there Georgie Girl" well we use the tune and sing silly stuff like "Hey there Ashley bear, everybody knows the colour of your hair" hahahahahha I love some of the other suggestions!

 

I always sing “Swing low sweet chariot†and when we get to the part of,“coming around the corner and who do I see…†I always use the kid’s names first. Then with every verse I use another family members name so they can get used to hearing them. I probably sing the song wrong but it’s their favorite.

 

Groovy - I sing You Are My Sunshine to DD all the time, now I'll use her name in it!

 

I sing this funny song from the tv show Romper Room. Remember that show from way back when? It goes something weird like..."skinna marinky dinky dink...skinna marinky doo...I love you..." Anyways, I put thier names into it and they love it. Its actually how I get them to stay still while I change thier diapers now.

 

When my now 3 1/2 year old (Tessa) was a baby, her grandmother sent this CD of songs and they take any name and incorporate it in to these great silly songs that she still loves, what's great is the last one is sort of a "lullaby song" the CD says Mediak and the number on it (I hope this is ok to post..) is 866-528-kids. and they personalize a note on the CD as wel. pretty cute.

I make up my own silly songs for diaper changes, doing burps and baths. They both love it!

 

how about, "oh, whoa, whoa, jamie's crying".
Van Halen. Kind of appropriate, huh?
