I got the kids hooked on Frozen so that we could all have a shared memory... now we sing the Do You Wanna Build a Snowman song pretty regularly on the way to school!
We also sing "Let it Go" together:
I'm constantly amazed at how kids can just soak up all the lyrics to a song... I have to study the lyrics in YouTube videos, but they just pick it up!
Do you sing any non-kid songs together with your kids?

I have always sung my LO into a relaxed state (I'd like to say to sleep but, yeah...) by singing Soundgarden's Black Hole Sun. It's our "lullaby" of choice!
I'm sure there will be loads more as she grows up!

My stepson (now 8 years old) knows the words to every song in the world. It's amazing.
As a family last summer we sang the heck out of Taylor Swifts "red" album. It was awesome.

@Cherrybee: Great choice!
We sing a lot of non-kid songs. Right now her favorite song is Happy. She also has some of the Rockabye CD's so we listen/sing along with those.

DH sings lots of worship songs to DS while he's putting him down to bed! I sing Disney songs and songs from Broadway musicals to them ALL the time! DD especially seems to like "Popular" from Wicked lol.

They are like sponges. I've been listening to french language cds in the car since I drive muuch these days - might as well do something productive while driving. Some of it is sing song which actually makes learning easier. The other day, o heard my daughter counting along in french. It's too cute.

Those are kid songs 
But yeah, me and D sing a lot together to the radio. We both love the lumineers and mumford and sons so we sing with them a lot. Also a lot of Queen

@Dandelion: I was just about to say that songs from Frozen ARE kids songs!
I sing plenty of non-kids songs to/with LO. She gets to listen to some of our music since we are bombarded with hers all the time. Bruno Mars, Pink, Bob Marley, etc.

we sing frozen, Pharell's Happy, Katy Perry - Dark Horse and Elle Goulding - Burn... she loves these songs. mind you DD is 19 months old so holding a note for a really long time is considered sining

@Dandelion: @mrsjazz: I thought I was missing something! (haven't seen Frozen yet!) haha
I used to sing him the Lumineers "Ho Hey" in the car a lot, and when I was pregnant I sang "All I want for Christmas is you" like every day, haha (he was due 12/15).
And Jack Johnson, lots of Jack Johnson.

@Dandelion: @mrsjazz: Oh I just meant to distinguish these songs from stuff like Happy Birthday and Rock a bye, baby.
