Tomorrow the kids are going back to school. What song links can I click on after the magic bus rolls down my street and takes them away, to aptly celebrate my enduring the longest summer ever?

Since you've already got Barry Manilow covered, I'll pick the low-hanging fruit and suggest Magic Bus ;)

I remember an office supply commercial with the father humming along to Andy Williams' Christmas classic "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" while the kids sulked behind him. So, there's more low-hanging fruit for you.

Do you use iTunes? Try searching "free" or "kids". That what I did to find suggestions. ^_^

Don't know your tastes, here's an assortment of rock-like genres:
Freedom, George Michaels (classic)
Perfect Day, Hoku (pop, Legally Blond soundtrack)
Some Days You Gotta Dance, Dixie Chicks (country)
Beautiful Day, U2 (rock)
Glorious Day, Weezer (alternative)
A Well Deserved Break, Morcheeba (instrumental)
Dog Days Are Over, Florence and The Machine (indie)

Can't believe nobody has suggested this yet: Feeling Good by Michael Buble (there are loads of excellent versions but I am very partial to this one), of course! The lyrics are all about finally feeling free - it could have been written for just such an occasion...
