a pedant writes: “There’s No-one Quite Like Grandma” doesn’t count because that’s just kids, not adults featuring kids.
I kind of want to say that Daz Sampson “Teenage Life” one that was in Eurovision last year, but I can’t remember if it was actually kids or whether it was people putting on kiddie voices, and I’m fucked if I’m going to listen to it to find out.

That’s usually true, but having little kids sing “Career Opportunities” was a great idea.
