Rock the Cradle is upon us! It's an event for kids and their grownups to explore music, art and culture and it'll be held at the Minneapolis Institute of Art at 11 am on Sunday.

Kids can enjoy a Disco Dance Party with Twinkle the mascot, Pop Up Story Time with The Current's DJs, live music from The Jolly Pops, Katy Vernon and Siama's Congo Roots, art activities, and Classical Kids Storytime.

So for today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what Current songs do you want to hear that kids love? Think fun lyrics and danceable beats.
