Ziggy Marley is bringing music to the LITTLE people! He is releasing his first children’s album and has invited some family and pretty cool friends to join him on it. Jack Johnson, Laurie Berkner, Elizabeth Mitchell, and Jamie Lee Curtis are only a few of the artists featured on the CD Family Time, in stores May 5th. In addition to some well known classics like “This Train” and “Hold Him Joe” Ziggy has written many original songs on this release which are endearing tributes to his family with many sage words of wisdom for kids.
ZIGGY MARLEY QUOTE:
“Growing up, music was an important part of my childhood. I see it being just as important in my children and all children’s growth and development, to help them grow with open minds and open hearts… This record represents my daily family life and is inspired by my three-year-old daughter Judah and baby Gideon. It was a joy to make and opened up new avenues in my creativity.”

Frere Jacques. I ended up studying french in high school and college – it had a lasting impression on me!
Baby Mine is my fav~
I love the lamb chops song, the song that never ends and I also love sherry, lewis and bram The elephant song.
From Ziggy Marley’s it’s the “Family Time” song with the catchy tune.
From my childhood it’s the Itsy Bitsy Spider because it’s interactive.
The Wheels on the Bus because my son loves it right now.
Senior Don Gato- it’s a terrible children’s song about how some cat fell in love with another cat and wasn’t paying attention and fell off a roof and died. I must be a sicko because sad as it is I find it hilarious!
I love “I love you too” and “helping hands”. My neices think they’re jamaican when they sing them, but the whole album is very inspirational. It brings our family together when we can act silly and sing songs about helping and loving each other as a family should!! I love it.
On top of spagetti.
My girls always liked me to sing Jesus Loves Me to them at bedtime.
B I N G O was always fun with my kids

My kids always loved the song about “if that mockingbird don’t sing, mama’s gonna buy you a diamond ring”. I could only remember a couple of the verses, and would end up making crazy verses for my boys. Thanks for this contest, it brought back some great memories…
This is a great contest. I love the Marley music!

My favorite song is Peanut Butter Jelly Time! It cracks me up every time I hear it.
You are my sunshine is my favorite, but I use to sing rock-a-bye baby, to my children when they were little, too. Thanks for having the contest!

Rock-a-bye-baby…So soothing yet so bizzare
You are my Sunshine
I have to say BINGO was his nameo!
My favorite is TMBG’s Eight Hundred and Thirteen Mile Car Trip
My son loves Zeko and potocic (a Croatian song about a rabbit and a lake). My wife is from there and she tought him. He said it’s his favorite because he feels sad for the rabbit and wishes that he would help him. In the song, the rabbit couldn’t find his favorite lake, since it all froze in the winter.
Where’s the Music – MMW, because they jam hard
I’d have to go with “You Are My Sunshine”. Though it’s not really a kid’s song, my parents always sang it to me and I now sing it to my kids! I love it!
My favorite kids song is “This Old Man”. My dad used to sing it to me as a kid. He also told me this funny joke that plays on the song. Something about a frog, a loan, Mrs. Pattywack and The Rolling Stones.
My favorite song is Itsy Bitsy Spider
i love you are my sunshine. my mom used to sing it to me when i was little
It’s the theme song from “Barney.” My boys and I used to sing it all the time together, it brings back memories from when they were small. Now they are grown up and away from the house and I can still remember when they were little and cuddly in my arms and it brings a smile to my face.
I love Danny Boy. It serves both as a song of devotion and of loss. And that melody…
rock-a-bye-baby, soothing melody, disturbing lyrics
I always liked “Oh Susannah”, because my dad used to sing it to me.
You are my Sunshine.. I still remember my husband singing it to our first daughter when she was coming out of her anesthesia after her heart surgery.

This little light of mine
My favorite (by coincidence) is Row Row Row Your Boat because for the past 3 days I’ve been visiting my granddaughters for a Mother’s Day weekend out of state, and this morning my little 2 year old granddaughter sat with me and over and over we sang the song together. What a thrill that was!

I don’t know if this one counts or not, but I love “Little Bunny Foo-Foo” because kids, especially babies, just love it and once it gets in your head it’s impossible to get out!! 🙂
I loved “Wet Paint” back in the 80s.. it was a Muppets or Sesame Street thing, I can’t recall exactly! I think subconsciously it made me become a painter! Thanks!
