Tooth Fairy is usually good for the needed shizzle. For toys, ask nana or just buy them yourself, and blame it on Frosty!

Cause ..... There's no business, like show business, like no business I know. _ Ethel Merman. 
What the heck here's the whole song ...........................................
There's no business like show business like no business I know
Everything about it is appealing, everything that traffic will allow
Nowhere could you get that happy feeling when you are stealing that extra bow
There's no people like show people, they smile when they are low
Even with a turkey that you know will fold, you may be stranded out in the cold
Still you wouldn't change it for a sack of gold, let's go on with the show
The butcher, the baker, the grocer, the clerk
Are secretly unhappy men because
The butcher, the baker, the grocer, the clerk
Get paid for what they do but no applause.
They'd gladly bid their dreary jobs goodbye for anything theatrical and why?
There's no business like show business and I tell you it's so
Traveling through the country is so thrilling, standing out in front on opening nights
Smiling as you watch the theater filling, and there's your billing out there in lights
There's no people like show people, they smile when they are low
Angels come from everywhere with lots of jack, and when you lose it, there's no attack
Where could you get money that you don't give back? let's go on with the show
(there's no business like show business like no business I know)
You get word before the show has started that your favorite uncle died at dawn
Top of that, your pa and ma have parted, you're broken-hearted, but you go on
(there's no people like show people, they smile when they are low)
Yesterday they told you you would not go far, that night you open and there you are
Next day on your dressing room they've hung a star, let's go on with the show!!
Thank you Irving Berlin

Asking how many types of music there is is like asking how many numbers there are IMO! ^_^ You can create so many blends!

If only for a moment.....
I find that Indian instruments and Indian music in general really fuses well with everything I've heard it fused with. Great with rock, folk, rap/hip hop, jazz.......
I would recommend "Meeting by the river" by Vishwa Mohan Bhatt and Ry Cooder in which a bluesy guitarist meets like 30 minutes beforehand, a vina player and they record these 4 immense songs. The interplay is stunning and it's all melodically accesible. And for any of you closet jazzers out there, this album, "Indo jazz suite" from 1966 and it's follow ups {Indo jazz fusions 1 & 2} from 1967 and '68
are a must ! The fascinating thing about them are that Mayer was an Indian writer well versed in Western and Eastern music. Joe Harriott was a West Indian jazz man saxophonist that had been pushing ahead with unfathomable free jazz. Both the Indian band and the jazz band were hardened improvisors but every tune here is beautiful, hummable, melodic and memorable. And damned clever. I've been sailing with John Mayer and Joe Harriott's fusion for 30 years now and all I can say is if I was stranded on a desert island without them, I'd be swimming back to shore to get them !
Same here. I love it to bits, same with "Love you to" on Revolver. It is kind of only now that George Harrison is receiving the credit for what was, in 1966/7 a bold, daring and frankly crazy fusion ! I dig him all the more for it. It was so risky, first of all to bring such a different voice into the Beatles ouvre, then to try and break down the dumb Western stereotypes of Indian music that existed at the time, then to use Indian instruments in Beatle songs {like "Tomorrow never knows", "Strawberry fields forever", "Lucy in the sky with diamonds", "Getting better", "Across the universe" etc} that he hadn't written, then to fuse the two thought strands of the the two musical headspaces by writing pop and rock but in an Eastern vein {and I'm talking about the ones without Indian instruments} and all this while being 23 and 24 years old and overshadowed by Lennon and McCartney and not taken seriously as a writer of note by what appears to have been most rock critics up until very recently and the likes of George Martin, Geoff Emerick, Brian epstein and the two "main" Beatles at the time.
Blimey, those Shankars get everywhere ! I have this wonderful 1970 album
by the Sitarist, Ananda Shankar, in which he plays some ragas but on other tracks, he plays with rock musicians and does covers. There's one fascinating cover of the Stones' "Jumping Jack flash" and a delightfully gorgeous fusion tune called "Metamorphosis". However, for sheer drama, tension and release of orgasmic proportions, nothing beats "Sagar {The ocean}", a 13 minute epic excursion. It's hotter than july ! On the equator !!
There are many great show tunes. I've noticed though, that almost all the show tunes I like come from films or plays I knew as a kid, things like "Joseph and his amazing technicolour dream coat", "Oliver !", "Man of La Mancha", "Robin Hood", "Jungle book", "The Aristocats", "The sound of music" etc. Some fabulous songs came from these and other Disney films.
Another great source of tunage are theme tunes from TV shows. Some of the best pieces of music I dig are from TV shows and are often obscure little tunes like "The Young ones" ¬> not the opening theme, but the weird closing one by Peter Brewis or "Roobarb and Custard", "Sesame Street", "Nanny and the professor", "Hawaii five~0", "The Banana Splits show", "World in action", "Dr Who", "The Pink panther", "The Saint" and zillions of others. The greatness of the theme tune didn't necessarilly correlate with the quality of the programme ! Some atrotious shows had some sizzling music.
Even more obscure and forgettable, yet I remember them, are songs {they used to calll them 'jingles'} that were used in adverts. Over the last 10 or so years, there's been more of a thing where they just play a record from yesteryear in the ad. It gives some of us middle aged to oldies the opportunity to start pontificating about the band that played the song; "Oh yeah, that was a number 1 hit in '69 by Thunderclap Newman. Yeah, one of them was a telephone engineer and one of them was a 16 year old kid from Scotland who fell out with Paul McCartney and died of a heroin OD. They were a one hit wonder........"
But there were some tremendous advert songs, long erased from the archives and memories, like the "You can do it, we can help" one for diet Pepsi or the "Richard shops are full of all the pretty things......." for Richard shops.. Whatever happened to Richard shops ? Or John Collier's {"John Collier, John Collier the window to watch !"}. Or the Cadbury's Flake one that used to start "Only the crumbliest, flakiest chocolate/tastes like chocolate never tasted before......". My younger sister was always dropping things so my older sister and I would break into a chorus to that tune of "Only ♫ the clumsiest ♫.......". There were literally hundreds of great little jingles. To be fair, they still make them. My kids pick up on them.
Ah, but the new genre ceases to exist until blended........

Traffic - I'm with grim - tried but failed.
I don't know what I like but do know what I don't like:
Cookie Monster Metal, Hair Metal, Big Rock Ballad Metal, Disco, Discorockmetal (remember when everyone STARTING with Kiss used THAT beat), Jazz Rock, Deliberately Auto Tune Affected pop/ballad/metal/country, pop where the singer ululates where once a singer MAY have used a little vibrato & a lot of sustained notes, Boy Band vocal groups, most rap (purely because a} it's too fast for my slow brain & b} my slow brain gets in knots over false & poor rhyming) especially bad pop with rap M8/breakdowns, George Jones era country, new country (you know the type of that's really a poprock song with a certain twang to the solo supported by a hat?), rave , house, acid jazz, jazz fusion, jazz, swing renamed jazz, crooners - original & pale replications, numetal, NWOBHM, Baroque, neo romantic, New Romantic, racist, patronising, Oi, most "Classic LA Rock of the Mac/Eagles/"..., sadly, a whole lot of opera, most grunge and a baby's arm holding an apple.
Funnily enough that leaves me with an almost entire world of music yet to be explored that I could taste test & add to the list.
On the + side I remembered I do like Gamalan music.

Now, I need someone to tell me my answer was almost as brutally insightful as the original proposition.
I require that type of affirmation on an ongoing basis.
Well, that & my meds. Whoops, that's what I forgot...
My meds!
