Very special play list: Favorite songs of some children with Sanfilippo

February 11, 2021

Children with Sanfilippo syndrome love music! Up-tempo, toe-tapping songs that you can’t resist jamming along to.

Several of the Foundation’s partner families recently shared their children’s favorite songs and we created a playlist on YouTube.com.

It is interesting to see some of the favorite songs that the children have in common. The most-common being “Shake It Off” by Taylor Swift and “I’m Still Standing” by Elton John. And two children love the same song, “Wagon Wheel,” but by different artists.

There’s also an interesting array of music types. Many contemporary hits, but also a few country songs. Lots of songs released on the past 15 years, but also some older classics.
