I think there was like ZZ Top and stuff...

As far as actually children's music I grew up on stuff like Fred Penner, Mr Dress-up, Mr Rodgers, Sesame Street...

Fred Penner is probably the coolest one.
I've never heard of Fred Penner, but I have heard the song, "The Cat Came Back!"

I just looked it up on wikipedia. I was surprised to learn that the song was written in 1893, much longer ago than I expected. It doesn't go by its original title, for obvious reasons. The Cat Came Back - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Here's one of my favorite children's songs, a song from the movie "Charlotte's Web."

Charlotte's Web - "Mother Earth and Father Time"

From the movie and sung by Charlotte the spider:



And below sung very sweetly by a mom for her twins:
