Name Your Tune
Little Spyridon had a farm, Ee i ee i oh! What? Haven't heard that one? Well you can with custom nursery rhymes from Name Your Tune.

For interactive entertainment with actual people (as opposed to interaction with virtual videogame characters and environments), nothing quite beats a sing-along. And for kids nothing -- nothing! -- beats a sing-along like a sing-along of songs about you.

And that's exactly what you get with Name Your Tune (nameyourtune.com), a $20, customized CD of children's songs but personalized with an individual kid's name. There are literally thousands of names to choose from, 3,406 and counting, including a remarkable number of obscure ones -- you're in luck, Spyridon --, and a name not listed will be recorded and added if you request it.

Aurally, Name Your Tune tunes sound like pro-studio personalizations, not just names plopped in like a fill-in-the-blank voice-overs on pre-recorded ditties -- which they actually are, but the editing is terrific, and only the discerning (read: anal) ear will notice the insert hiccup... otherwise, it's as if each song was cut specifically for the selected name, seamlessly, wonderfully.

Moreover, the otherwise traditional lyrics are altered just enough to give the name some real play (and adjusting for syllables so cadence remains faithful), so it's not "Old MacDonald" who had a farm, it's "Little Molly"; stomp your feet if you're happy and you know it, but also if you're Molly and you know it. And yes, Boom Boom, it is great to be Molly. Ain't it?
