The slideshow is one of the most entertaining elements at a baby's birthday party. And choosing the right music is just as critical for creating an entertaining slideshow as culling good pictures. The most popular baby's first birthday slideshow song at the parties I've been to is, without a doubt, "Over the Rainbow," by Israel Iz Kamakamiwo'ole; the wedding equivalent of "Someday," by Tony Bennett. But there are so many other good songs! So I decided to make a short list of the best baby's birthday slideshow songs for boys, girls and unisex. Lo and behold, my "short" list turned into 60 songs!
