‘Hero’ worship

On this fantastic CD, the music of the Foo Fighters, has been translated into sweet lullabies with a mellotron, glockenspiel, and other soothing instruments by Andrew Bissell. Hopefully, these quiet instrumentals will help lull baby to sleep, but the familiar tunes will definitely help you to maintain your identity while the rest of your life is utterly transformed by your wakeful bundle of joy. Imagine how much nicer it will be to rock your little one till sunrise when you are whispering the lyrics to “Monkey Wrench,” “Learn to Fly,” and “My Hero.”

If that isn’t thrilling enough, on Aug. 28, Rockabye Baby will unleash a CD of lullaby versions of classic Kiss songs such as “Beth” and “Rock and Roll All Nite.”

Whether it’s a treat for you or a baby shower gift, Rockabye Baby is necessary for the preservation of any new parent’s sanity.

“Rockabye Baby! Lullaby Renditions of Foo Fighters” CD, $16.98. www.rockabyebabymusic.com.
