I've been singing the kids Nat King Cole's L-O-V-E for ages, and they're both super into it! Probably because it involves the alphabet:
Lately I've been singing You are the Sunshine of My Life to the kids... no spelling in it, but I think the kids are getting into it too!
Any other oldies that the kids might be into? Anything involving spelling is a win... or anything about love seems to work, because we can sing to the kids about how much we love them, and they love that.

I think anything that is silly or repetitive might be a hit. I remember liking Octopus's Garden, When I'm 64 and Yellow Submarine as a kid.

I sing them Moon River all the time - our bridesmaids walked down the aisle to this song so it has a lot of sentimental value. We also sing a lot of Beatles, Billy Joel and Elton John. Also my husband has come up with a whole new set of lyrics to "Copa Cabana" about our kids.

Anything by the Beatles is a huge hit. Let it Be, here comes the sun, hey Jude, imagine.

Sound of music songs are great. I love In My Room by the beach boys and Young at Heart by Frank Sinatra are always good.

Not exactly an oldie, but we've been having a lot of fun with Weezer's "sweater song". "I'll soon be naaaaaaaaaked!" So much fun.
My grandpa used to sing "honey won't you open that door", and "Jeremiah was a bullfrog" and "Jennifer Thompkins"

We're weirdos and sing/hum "smoke on the water" by deep purple when we brush LO's teeth.

We sing In the Jungle all the time and both LOs love it! It's so cute hearing DD1 walking around singing 'in the jungle, the mighty jungle' and repeat (that's the only line she knows!)
