Smarty -- first of all, HAHHAHAh for your closing comment. Brilliant!
Second of all, thanks for providing some insight from the other side. Since all I can provide is based on my experience as a child... I think it makes total sense to let kids listen to kid music (as if you could stop them, right?). Kids like movies/TV/music that sounds, well, juvenile to grown up ears, and that's how it should be.
My baby book lists "record player" as my favorite toy since, well, practically birth. I had all the kids records of the day... but my parents certainly didn't play them in the main part of our house, or the car -- that was their turf, and I listened to whatever they had on.
I feel like in some ways, by only exposing kids to childish music and films, we stunt them -- so they grow up to be adults with very immature tastes in culture and arts. Kinda explains the entire FOX network a bit, doesn't it?
Plus, I think if I had to drive around listening to Disney radio all the time, I'd lose my mind. :D
