I ask because I'm curious to find out if I recognize the versions you speak of. Is the new one you speak of the current Children's Song Book Version? Yes, the Mueller version is the one that the older American Saints are used to hearing. The current Children's Song Book has the Cradle Song version. Apparently JJ agrees with me that the Cradle Song is the less desirable version. Quote

When I heard other (younger people) Singing the "Cradle Song" version, I thought it was weird. But I thought I'd get used to it. I never did. Now that I've had a lot more musical training, I've come to really dislike the Cradle Song. Like I said, it's like a foxtrot -- sometimes it's like a marching song. Mueller is just plain prettier. I've had a similar experience with other songs. Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes comes to mind. http://media2.ldscdn.org/assets/music/childrens-songbook/2002-01-2430-head-shoulders-knees-and-toes-words-and-music-192k-eng.mp3?download=true LDS version I'm accustomed to How it is apparently more commonly taught to children outside the church. It sounds wrong to me, I think simply because it's not what I'm used to. Quote
