That has been my and my wife's situation this decade. And I can not only sing Barney stuff, but the Wiggles too! My boys are moving beyond that at this point. Lot's of Jack Johnson, Curious George soundtrack though, and some Kidzbop.

It was really hectic most of the time.
Ask me what songs were on the Barney show in the 90's and I'll probably be able to tell you the whole frigg'n list of irritating songs and cast of characters on that show who were too old to be acting like little kids! :-)
I did get into some acoustic music during that period because we were listening to a lot of that stuff when we put the kids to sleep. I started listening to solo guitar records by Phil Keaggy, Michael Hedges, etc. I was also listening to Stevie Ray Vaughn a lot at that time (although this didn't make the best choice for putting a baby to sleep). I was also into Pat Metheny as always.
