CBS’s newest daytime talk show “’The Talk” geared up for baby season – Rockabye Baby style.

The hosts of “The Talk” on CBS held a baby shower gift show that aired on April 28th to spur new baby gift ideas for this spring season. We all know that no baby shower is complete without a round of rock lullabies, so our Rockabye Baby gift box was a featured giveaway on the show and included Lullaby Renditions of:  U2, Journey, More Beatles, Aerosmith, Queen and of course, host Sharon Osbourne’s husband’s band, Black Sabbath.

If you would like to win a gift box that was featured on the show, please “Like” us on Facebook and then email us at giveaway[at]cmhrecords[dot]com to let us know you’d like to be entered. One lucky winner will be selected to receive the gift!

Celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe may have given birth to son Skyler just three weeks ago, but in no way is that slowing this fashion powerhouse down. In a recent newsletter, the busy new mom shares that Rockabye Baby albums start off her Top 10 Picks for the Stylish Baby. “I can already tell you, from just a few weeks in, that motherhood is the most incredible experience imaginable. Consider these gifts for your registry and you will have one happy baby!”

Zoe’s pick for newborn son, Skyler, is Rockabye Baby’s Lullaby Renditions of The Beatles! We’d say he’s off to a good musical start!

Transformed by the gentle instrumental tones that are Rockabye Baby’s trademark, this new lullaby collection features Flaming Lips fan favorites “She Don’t Use Jelly” and “The W.A.N.D.,” not to mention the official rock song of the band’s home state of  Oklahoma, “Do You Realize??” The Rockabye Baby record hits stores today, two weeks after the Lips released a five-album vinyl box set, Heavy Muggs: The First Five Warner Bros. Records 1998.

Changing the face of children’s music, the Rockabye Baby sound soothes infants with its smartly produced and arranged mix of  glockenspiel, vibraphone, Mellotron, harps and bells. Yet  as Wired UK notes, “There’s an undeniable draw for the adults  listening to their favorite band re-imagined like this.” In the same way that The Flaming Lips have become the epitome of musical cool, Rockabye Baby is the hip choice for moms and dads who rock.

Description: Is your little one still up all night, while your eyelids feel like they weigh a ton?  Do you realize that the race to find a cure for baby’s bawling has already been won?  These lullaby renditions of The Flaming Lips’ songs will speed your bundle of joy off to a dreamland of supermen, pink robots and tangerine bubbles.
