Cocomelon songs give me some sort of whole-body repulsion if it comes on on shuffle in the car.

Classics that sound great sung by Raffi, Ella Jenkins and even Caspar Babypants are some sort of ear mush when done by Cocomelon, Kidz Bop et al.

Cocomelon are all sung in this weird smug condescending tone. It's really unpleasant.

Compare with Pokémon Kids TV, which sounds really cheerful, and you can hear the singer is really enjoying themselves. Also mostly the same classic children songs, but so much more enjoyable to listen to.

The generic midi versus funny experimental instrumentation play a part too.

Mister Rogers had an excellent jazz pianist doing all the music live in studio throughout. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Costa
