Was there ever any more liberating feeling than driving, windows down, as a newly-licensed teen, listening to your favorite songs on a mixed tape? As it turns out, yes. Try driving, windows up, your baby drifting off to sleep, listening to lullaby renditions of your favorite songs on CD, with compilations from Rockabye Baby!

Rockabye Baby! transforms hits from rockers both classic and contemporary into instrumental lullabies that satisfy both babies with the fussies and parents with ears. Banish the painful and somewhat insulting cheesiness of much of children’s music, and instead enjoy soothing sounds of the glockenspiel, vibraphone, mellotron and more with lullaby versions of hits by everyone from the Rolling Stones to Metallica. I’ll spare you the painful puns of “sweet as brown sugar” and “help your baby get satisfaction.” But remember, when you take your little one from classical rock-a-byes to classic rock anthems: no lighters!

Rockabye Baby’s renditions of The Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Metallica, Coldplay, and U2 are available now at all three Isis Maternity locations.

Find out more as parents test-drive lullaby renditions of Tool, Nine Inch Nails, Bob Marley, AC/DC and U2 on Boston.com.
