What Song Does Mike Folden Sing During Diaper Changes?

Mike Folden told Geek at Sea that diaper changes became a game once he sang through them. The songs take on a country twang, and no two are the same. He thinks the shelf of children's music is short: Raffi, from Toronto, who has been at it about 40 years, and Seattle's Caspar Babypants, whose show the family had already seen. A new act could win by being catchy rather than polished, because small children want songs about their own day. For expectant parents he recommended the birth class. Theirs was three Saturdays, five hours each, and it made the couple compare expectations months before they could argue about a procedure in the hospital.
