REVEALED: THE KIDS SONGS PARENTS ACTUALLY LIKE TO LISTEN TO
- The Lion King “I Just Can’t Wait To Be King” has been crowned the song parents enjoy singing the most
- 9 in 10 parents admit to singing kids songs out loud, even when their child isn’t around
- 45% of parents have to endure listening to the same song on repeat during a car journey
A new study has found that out of 25 of the highest streamed kid’s songs on Spotify, parents have crowned The Lion King classic ‘I Just Can’t Wait To Be King’ as their guilty pleasure to sing at the top of their voices.
Closely followed by Moana’s ‘How Far Will I Go’ and Frozen’s ‘Let It Go,’ mums and dads across the UK picked the children’s songs that they like the most, with 64% having them in their own personal playlists and 92% even singing the songs when their kids aren’t around.
The survey comes after two thirds (68%) of the country have opted for a staycation this year rather than risking going abroad*. With road trips on the rise this summer, sunshade manufactures, Car Shades, asked 2,000 parents exactly how they intend to have a smooth family journey, and ultimately which classic children songs parents secretly don’t mind listening to on repeat.
Further results show that 83% of parents play children’s songs to allow for a stress-free journey, 45% admitted their children enjoy the same song on repeat, and 67% of parents admit to knowing all the words and beats to their children’s favourite song.
From nursery rhymes to Baby Shark, to Lego’s ‘Everything Is Awesome,’ the top 10 children’s songs (voted for by parents) are ranked below:
- The Lion King – I Just Can’t Wait To Be King
- Moana – How Far I’ll Go
- Frozen – Let It Go
- Moana – You’re Welcome / Thank You
- Lego Movie – Everything Is Awesome
- Baby Shark
- The Little Mermaid – Under The Sea
- Paw Patrol Theme
- The Lion King – Hakuna Matata
- Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes

Steve Giles, managing director at Car Shades, commented: “It’s impossible not to get your children’s favourite songs stuck in your head. Many of them are so catchy and accessible that I completely understand why parents see them as guilty pleasures! There will be plenty of road trips the summer, with lots of opportunities to sing along with your kids to make the staycation journeys as pleasant as possible.
“I hope our ultimate kid’s playlist as voted by the parents brings lots of joy to families over the coming weeks, but I still can’t understand how Moana didn’t win it!”
