My two-and-a-half-year-old daughter likes PopArt, the DVD at least.  Had
it on in the background and, the next day, she starting asking for some
of the videos to be played.  However, understanding which one she wanted
to see was tricky, because she doesn't know the song titles.

Me:  What one do you want?
Her: "Silly hats"

(I select "Can you forgive her?")

Me:  Is that the one you want?
Her: (excited) Yes!

(Much dancing ...)

Me:  What do you want now?
Her: "Girl"
Me:  What?
Her: The one with "girl"
Me:  (Selecting "Domino dancing") This one?
Her: No!
Me:  (Selecting "Rent") This one?
Her: No! (getting upset)
Me:  (Selecting "Heart" What about *this* one?
Her: Yes, yes! *excited

etc.

Her list of names for tracks are:

"Babies" == "It's alright"
"Coffee" == "I wouldn't normally ..." (there's a cup of tea being poured
at the start - this took *ages* to figure out)
"Stairs" == "Go West"

Haven't played "Home and dry" to her, though ... :-)

Dave.
