The Barbie record always reminds me of my daughter, she hated the record and once had a tantrum when we were out - she lay on the dance floor kicking and screaming literally 'cos they played it 3 times running.

Well, she was only 20-something at the time!

One reason I like Ummm Bop (Hansen) is because my husband had run off with a Finnish Au pair (true)and it was a song my 2 girls and I sang on way to-and-from school and they were always smiling when it was played.It was nic to see them smile and I always remember those times when it is played.
