oh yes I knwo what you mean. We have another trick thanks to the ingenious of audiobooks. We have some Roald Dahl, Fairytales etc audiobooks. The readers for the children's books are usually very good with voices and sound effects esp Stephen Fry's Harry Potter series.
They won't overstimulate them with moving animation (like with portable dvds) but more soothign and comforting for long rides. for us they are lifesavers esp when you drive 6 hours on the road!

Alayna is probably thinking: cor, my mom is so clever to learn so many songs! And she sounds great too.

Lisa:
we don't have a tv/dvd player in the car. the kids watch too much tv as it is already.
audiobooks can be a good alternative (to my singing baa baa black sheep ad nauseam) . my only worry is that the papa will fall asleep at the wheel during long journeys without his music on :D
Leen:
kahkahkah.. but cannot beat aunty leen's singing la.
amazingly, she keeps quiet whenever i sing. it's either because she's awed or because she's thinking 'i better shut up before she starts that awful screeching again'. hiks.
the-plague:
hahahaha... not enough practise apparently. pitching ke laut katanya.
