"Stay up Late" from the Talking Heads (from the Little Creatures album, 1985) has been on constant repeat in my head since we started this whole thing. I played it for Silas on Wednesday...the first recorded music he's listened to outside of the womb. Of course, we both sang to him before that.
"Stay up Late"
Talking Heads
Mommy had a little baby.
There he is fast asleep.
He's just a little plaything.
Why not Wake him up?
Cute, cute, little baby.
Little pee pee. Little toes.
Now he's comin' to me.
Crawl across the kitchen floor.
Baby, baby, please let me hold him
I wanna make him stay up all night
Sister, sister, he's just a plaything
We wanna make him stay up all night
Yeah we do
See him drink from a bottle.
See him eat from a plate.
Cute, cute, as a button.
Don't you wanna make him stay up late.
And we're having fun With no money.
Little smile on his face.
Don't cha' love the little baby.
Don't you want to make him stay up late.
CHORUS
Here we go (all night long) Sister, sister (all night long)
In the playpen...woo...(all night long)
Little baby goes, ha! (all night long)
I know you want to leave me...
Why don't we pretend.
There you go little man.
Cute, cute, why not?
Late at night wake him up.
CHORUS
Here we go (all night long)
Sister, sister...woo... (with the television on)
Little baby goes...woo! (all night long)
Hey, hey, baby! (all night long)
And he looks so cute (all night long)
In his little red suit (all night long)

I don't think I got a chance to tell you - I used this song for a project in high school english. I think some kind of lyrical analyzation. Of course as it was before the web I remember listening to it over and over transcribing it. I definitely support Silas' first recorded music being the Talking Heads.
