Quick Hits: Mista Cookie Jar's Black Sheep, Uncle Dox Loves Cheese

It's one thing to sing straight lullabies for kids. Shawn Colvin revisited the concept for two different albums over 20 years (HOLIDAY SONGS AND LULLABIES and THE STARLIGHTER). Chris Ballew (as Caspar Babypants) has repurposed multiple chestnuts with all-new verses and purposes. Now Mista Cookie Jar has jumped on the bandwagon with his new single, "Black Sheep Club/I Love You."

These are not your grandfather's "Baa Baa Black Sheep," instead a squadron of funky hip fam with shoutouts to Little Bo Peep and Little Miss Muffet. The tune segues into a modern riff on Sam Cooke's classic "I Love You," close enough that proper credit is given and well-deserved. Mista CJ generally puts out music that gets your kids on their feet. Now he's turned the tables and will help them wind down their day and drift off to sleep.

You can find "Black Sheep Club/I Love You" on Mista Cookie Jar's Bandcamp page:

Uncle Dox, the pride of Minnesota, returns to break the cheese with his new song, also named "Cheese." The Dirty Sock Funtime Band opened the dairy floodgates a few years back with "Cheese World and Danny Weinkauf's Red Pants Band flared nose hairs with "Break the Cheese." That's bad news for the lactose-intolerant but a boon for all dairy farmers.

Now it's Dox's turn to squeak a cheeky cheesy tune for tots. By the time the catchy beat has faded, you will know all the types of cheese that Uncle Dox truly loves, and he's breaking rhymes to boot (Don't put cheese in your boots, I don't recommend it).

Much like the product itself, you can find the song "Cheese" on many platforms, including Spotify, Amazon Music, and Playtime Playlist.

You can watch the image for the song for two and a half minutes while listening to the song on this YouTube video:
