A recent survey has found that over a quarter of parents view traditional nursery rhymes as outdated, with young children now preferring genres like grime, R&B and rock.
Forget 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star' — today's tots are turning up the volume with AC/DC, proving even nap time needs a killer soundtrack.
Despite the importance of nursery rhymes in developing language and communication skills, 47 per cent of parents believe the lyrics need updating, even if the melodies remain appealing. Examples of problematic rhymes include 'Rub a Dub Dub,' associated with Cockney rhyming slang for 'pub', and 'Eenie, Meenie, Miney, Moe,' which has roots in ancient Celtic rituals.
Matt Griffiths, chief executive of Youth Music, told The Times: 'It's clear that music, whether that is traditional nursery rhymes or more surprising genres like rock, plays an important role in nurturing the creativity of pre-schoolers.
