Music to Entertain Whilst Doing Laundry

Here's a fun way to expose your kids to classical pieces while appealing to their sense of humor. Beethoven's Wig is a series of well-known classical pieces accompanied by silly lyrics reminiscent of The Warner Brothers, Yacko, Wacko and Dot. The Trumpet Tune provides the background for a mini history lesson on the Kings and Queens of England. The Beethoven's Wig website has lyrics, performance dates and more.
