The 54th Annual Grammy Awards have just concluded on CBS, and I’m one of the camp that views the Grammys as a celebration of an organization and votership that is completely irrelevant, overly self-congratulatory, narrow-minded, boring, and predictable year after year. Despite those views, I thought it might be fun to compile a list of of music inspired by some of the night’s biggest winners, but reworked and performed for the smallest members of your family: newborn infants. Here’s a run-down of lullaby renditions of select winner’s songs that are currently available on iTunes.
