@ancient_catbus Ever read any Icelandic sagas? (Shudder.)
@ancient_catbus @rjblaskiewicz I may have used that on one of our children…
This is a perfect example of what the great Rosalie Sorrels calls the "hostile baby rocking song" for when you've been up all night, the damn baby won't sleep, and in an hour the rest of the kids will be up and wanting breakfast.
Here's the track off one of her albums, it's great.

and here's a memorial page for her, with the words to her rant:

@ancient_catbus And you're expected to sleep after this? Why are lullabies so scary? Are they the "or else" part of "Go to sleep!" Or else I'll sing you a lullaby to cause you trauma into your adult life?
@ancient_catbus I hope it sounds much more tender and soothing in Icelandic
