- They Might Be Giants and Dan Zanes have turned kid's music into a booming business. While some grownup listeners love these juice-box heroes others would like to toss their music into the diaper pail. On today's Soundcheck Smackdown: a debate on kids music. Plus: live music from local folk-rocker Pepi Ginsberg. Kiddie Music: Great or Grating? For years, children's music was ruled by niche artists like Soupy Sales and Raffi. But these days, "big kid" acts like They Might Be Giants and former Del Fuegos member Dan Zanes are creating clever songs for kids and parents alike. It's infectious stuff " sometimes too infectious. In another Soundcheck Smackdown, we debate the explosion of kids music. Joining us are Limor Tomer, WNYC's executive producer of music programming, and Andy Blackman Hurwitz, founder of the Baby Loves Music CD and event series.
