architecture in helsinki - owls go
built to spill - twin falls
daniel johnston & yo la tengo - speeding motorcycle
dresden dolls - coin operated boy
joanna newsom
magnetic fields
pixies - la la love you
robot ate me - apricot tea
velvet underground - i'm sticking w/you
velvet underground - after hours

something along those lines.. the idea is to make it sound like a childrens book..

any suggestions?

Almost anything by Trio (Da Da Da). Maybe something by King Missile? (The Boy Who Ate Lasagna And Could Jump Over A Church).

Paul McCartney? No really, how about something off the McCartney (cherries) disc.

Hey, this is fun. I'll come back w/ more.

nearly anything by of montreal

The Colorblind James Experience: "Dance Critters"
Jason Ringenberg: "He's A Hog Hog Hog"
The Jazz Butcher: "Bigfoot Motel"
The Soft Boys: "Sandra's Having Her Brain Out"

Gaskin & Stewart, "Busy Doing Nothing", "Siamese Cat Song", "It's My Party"
Thomas Dolby, "Europa and the Pirate Twins"

If you want something childlike and perhaps a bit less playful, Tori Amos' "Winter" comes to mind. More...wistful...
