I'm looking for a good Father/Son song to play at my son's birtday. He'll be 12 years old this Saturday and I'd like to plan something special. The Darius Rucker song "It won't be like this for long" may be the song I go with, but I want to see if there are any others recommended.
Harry Chapin - Cat's In The Cradle

It is a very good father/son song however you probably want to pick something else because this song is sad.
don't embarass your kid with a dang song!
"My Orphan Year" by NOFX
"Styrofoam Plates" by Death Cab for Cutie
Little Pony and the Great Big Horse by Drive-By Truckers.... Seriously, this is a beautiful song. All I can think about during this song is my father and I'm going to have to assume Mike Cooley wrote it for his kids or with his father in mind...maybe both
The name of the song is "Sunny", but it is a beautiful song by Bobby Hebb, it sounds like "Sonny" and still makes sense if you are singing it to your son:
"Sometimes When We Touch" by Dan Hill. This would be perfect.

Are you kidding????
Take the kid to a football game or something. I would say just spend some time with him, but I have the feeling that youre spending too much time with him.
I like "Little Pony and Great Big Horse". I'd never heard it before but I really like it. "Cats and Cradle" is a beautiful song as well but probably not good for a birthday party. It does make me want to simplify life and appreciate father/son moments. The others were a little dark and twisted but thanks anyways.
" I Kill Children", by the Dead Kennedys . Priceless .

But honestly, I wouldn't do it. It would be kind of awkard in my opinion, but all families are different.

Cat Stevens-"Father and Son"
EH, most of the responses here are about contentious relations between father and son.
I typically make fun of threads like this, but there's a song that tugs right at the ole heartstrings... especially for fathers of boys.
Rodney Atkins, "Watching You"
father and son by cat stevens
still fighting it by ben folds
Just the two of us.
You pick the version:
