5 out of 5 stars Much Better than the Original Versions.......2007-08-01

You know, its an amazing thing when a Kids Compilation of original songs redux sounds better than the original recordings themselves. This is especially clear on this new volume of Kids Bop. Here are the highlights:

1. "Beautiful Liar" - The original by Shakira and Beyonce is done very well here, with the kids performing the hard to comprehend chorus very well. In fact, on this version, you can actually understand the words! Better than the original!
2. "The Sweet Escape" - Originally by Gwen Stefani, this is a definite standout.
3. "Say It Right" - Originally by Nelly Furtado, this is a hard song to perform, but you know what - I love this version!
4. "What Goes Around" - This amazing song by Justin Timberlake is done even better here - a great, solid track
5. "Never Again" - This Kelly Clarkson song sounds like it was made for the Kids! If you remember their AMAZING cover of "Since You've Been Gone", you'll know that they fare especially well covering Kelly's songs. This is really amazing stuff here, and I suggest you pick this up if only for this track!!

Seriously, this is a wonderful album. Much better than most compilation albums, this one soars when it has to, and the song selection is much better than the NOW series. Yes, these are covers done by kids, but they are NOT cheap recordings - on the other hand, they lend a very hummable, singable quality to all the tracks here, and make every one of them instantly memorable.

All Kids Bop albums are masterpieces. This one really ups it a notch. FIVE STARS!

Admit it: If you had to pick an artist to give voice to the wackadoo thinkings of a monkey beloved by most of the American populace over age 3, you could do a lot worse than Jack Johnson. Black Eyed Peas? Too hyper. Death Cab for Cutie? Too ironic. They Might Be Giants? Too eggheaded. Johnson, though the object of much rightful jealousy--here, after all, is a guy who only stumbled into music and vaulted himself up the charts after a successful career as a pro surfer--turns out to have the goods to do H.A. Rey, Curious George's creator, proud. Fans familiar with Johnson's earlier discs will recognize a certain laconic sprawl and easy fascination in his songs that suits the theme of perpetual puzzlement perfectly (here, let's not forget, is a guy who racked up fans with songs called "Bubble Toes" and "Banana Pancakes"). That the music takes a childish turn barely registers--songs like opener "Upside Down" are classic Johnson, all wonderment and groove, and the collaborations with friends Ben Harper, G. Love, and Matt Costa warm up, wink, and scamper off before packing on the weight of excess meaning. "We're Going to Be Friends," track seven, seals the deal--when you can make the White Stripes sound compatible with the Man with the Yellow Hat, you know you've got a multi-generational winner. --Tammy La Gorce

Description

Faced with the task of giving a voice to a central character that does not speak, Universal Pictures turned to Jack Johnson to craft songs that could provide a voice for Curious George. As a new father, it gave him the opportunity to make an album for both parents and children. Presented with early animations and the story line, Jack crafted new songs that capture the emotions of Curious George as he leaves the jungle to follow the Man with the Yellow Hat. He also turned to friends Ben Harper, G. Love, and Matt Costa to contribute songs that might bridge the gap between parent and child. Joined on the record by his band (Adam Topol, Merlo Podlewski, and Zack Gill), Jack duets with three of the other songwriters (Ben Harper, G. Love, and Matt Costa), and does a cover of the White Stripes' "We're Going to Be Friends." Parents who watched Schoolhouse Rock on Saturday mornings when they were children will recognize Jack's take on the classic "Three Is a Magic Number," reinterpreted with the 3 R's as a call to protect the environment and Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. Sing-a-Longs and Lullabies feels like so much more than your standard soundtrack due to its unified creative vision. While the songs have a universal appeal, their themes speak to a child's experience (or in this case, a curious monkey's experience) of the world.

5 out of 5 stars Nice grooves, and the baby loves it........2007-08-03

I want to personally thank Jack Johnson. Not only did he pen the best kids soundtrack for parents, but my infant son stops crying and starts grooving every single time I play this CD. I should be piping this constantly through the entire house.

5 out of 5 stars Great!!!.......2007-07-18

If you like Jack Johnson, you will probably like this CD. I loved the movie Curious George also. The music is very relaxing and enjoyable. It is also a CD that's appropriate for all ages, given the obvious themes. The music is nice to listen to without thinking about the movie-its good in its own right.

5 out of 5 stars I love this CD.......2007-07-13

I love this CD! The songs are soothing and kid-friendly yet I enjoy them too. We bought it because it was "Curious George" (and my son is obsessed) but I am so glad that we did. Well worth the price! It's a very mellow, feel-good, happy, easy-on-the-ears, calming CD.

2 out of 5 stars Curious George CD.......2007-06-09

CD arrived in good shape but it is not at all what I thought it would be. This is not a sing-along CD. It seems to be misrepresenting itself with such a title. Not impressed or satisfied with this CD. It was reviewed to be something different. It's simply music by Jack Johnson which tends to be very slow.

5 out of 5 stars Great kid music.......2007-06-01

My daughter loves this soundtrack and sings along. Very kid friendly and teaches kids how to protect the environment. Jack Johnson is wonderful.

No stranger to the realm of children's records, They Might Be Giants have seen success with their CD No! and the book-and-CD combo Bed, Bed, Bed. Their latest CD, Here Come the ABCs, offers up 25 alphabetically themed songs. However, as is their charming way, the two Johns (Flansburgh and Linnell), use the letters as merely the connective tissue, allowing them to pursuit intriguing flights of fancy that consider everything from the relative power of letters and sounds to animal hijinks. Just as they've always done, there are wistful ballads and high octane rockers. TMBG have always been a family-friendly band, and this disc works just fine for adult fans, who can rightfully consider this simply their newest release. --David Greenberger

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars F is for Fantastic!.......2007-07-27

I cannot rave enough about Here Come the ABCs! These lessons in the ABCs are quirky yet educational, silly yet sophisticated, and truly speak to the mind of a child. Oh, and I love to listen to them too!

My favorite track is Fake-Believe, while my children heartily enjoy E Eats Everything. This is much more than typical children's music or corny songs about the alphabet -- it is They Might Be Giants in everyway. Blending silliness with sophistiaction is the m.o. of tmbg, and the two Johns definitely hit the mark with this dvd/cd. You and your children will come back to this over and over, you might even beg for more!

4 out of 5 stars Pretty Good.......2007-07-23

My son of 18 months likes this. The DVD is good, the CD loses a little something since some of the songs need the visual clues (like where is the letter). My wife just finds it strange :-)
Dan

5 out of 5 stars All-time favorite DVD for kids.......2007-07-18

My family loves this DVD. All of the songs and accompanying animation is very creative, while teaching kids the alphabet. The songs are not annoying like some kids music, and my husband and I find ourselves going around singing the songs all the time. The CD that comes with the DVD is great for taking along in the car.

5 out of 5 stars Fun for Kids and their Grown-ups!.......2007-06-10

I bought "Here Come the ABC's" for a friend for her birthday after she watched it with my son. She adores the set. They Might Be Giants performs wonderfully catchy songs that are both easy to remember and challenge thinking. My son, who is 2, enjoys the puppets and the vivid and sometimes strange animation sequences. Favorite songs in our household include "Alphabet of Nations" (me), "E Eats Everything" (my son), and "Alphabet Lost and Found" (my husband). This set is one that I would recommend to anyone who interacts with young children learning to play with language. It grabs their attention, and they don't mind at all.

5 out of 5 stars My daughter loves it!!!!.......2007-05-30

At least once a day my daughter asks to watch the video. I don't mind because the songs are fun, origional, and educational. I find myself singing along!

5 out of 5 stars Great Children's CD.......2007-07-12

I grew up listening to these songs on an old record that my parents had. We lost the record and I searched for these songs for my new little baby girl. I am so happy that I found it on Amazon and that my baby girl gets to grow up with the same classics that I did when I was a kid. The CD is wonderful and the price was even better.

5 out of 5 stars Aww the good old times!.......2007-06-18

I grew up with this music!! My dad bought the records when I was little, YES records! Im 25yrs old so this was the late the 80's when he purchased it. Now I have the opportunity to introduce this to my children! I'm so glad they are continuing to sell this music because I loved it as a child. I still remember taking the records out and asking my parents to play it.

3 out of 5 stars Walt Disney CD: Characters Do Not Sing.......2007-06-06

I'm a little disappointed. I purchased this CD thinking The Disney Characters would be singing the songs. My son was all excited when I showed him the CD and asked me to play it. When he heard it he said "this is not Mickey Mouse". He was very sad. The songs on this CD are sung by children. The CD is ok.

1 out of 5 stars Garbage.......2007-05-13

Really very boring and campy - I can't bear to listen and wish I could return it. In fact all of the Disney Lullabuys and children's songs were downright horrible. Stick with Baby Einstein, Rock a Bye Baby and Just for Kids - Curious George is great too

4 out of 5 stars Yeah!.......2007-03-04

Much better than all of those other randon baby CD's where all of the songs sound exactly the same and sound like they are sung by chipmunks!!

Manufacturer: New Sound Music

Amazon.com

Baby Beluga is a fun-filled collection of favorite children's songs and Raffi originals, all performed in the singer's folksy, expressive style. Beluga begins with the sounds of whales communicating in their high-pitch squeaks (which presented here come across as cute and sweet) and features melodic lines that evoke vivid pictures of gentle waves and a frolicking whale. An illustrated sing-along book that is published separately is a nice companion to this first track, giving young listeners visual images of the song's narrative. The rest of this varied album blends traditional songs like "Oats and Beans and Barley" and "This Old Man" with four original pieces by Raffi, including the instrumental "Water Dance." Liner notes have the complete lyrics, a description and history of beluga whales, and explanations of Raffi's inspiration and ties to each song. This is an excellent album with catchy tunes that's sure to become a household favorite. --Tami Horiuchi

5 out of 5 stars My daughter's favorite!.......2007-07-16

My 2-year-old first heard this CD at daycare, and she fell in love with the title track, Baby Beluga. We got the CD to play at home, and I have to say I never ever thought I would like Raffi... and we really like this music! My husband and I just aren't into kids' music, but this Raffi CD is more like folk music to us. We not only tolerate it, we actually enjoy it... well, maybe just the first 10 times we have to listen to Baby Beluga and Biscuits in the Oven -- after granting our daughter's "Again! Again!" requests, the songs do get a little old ;)

4 out of 5 stars Our favorite CD.......2007-06-08

We don't have a huge number of kid CDs but may have 10 including 4 Raffi CDs. This is our favorite. There is only one song that we really don't care for about a Giraffe at a zoo. There are many we didn't know before that we have grown to love, especially the title song, Baby Beluga. The CD ends in a song about a train to morning town that I sing to the kids at night with their names substituted. There are songs with messages I like the kids to hear such as "Thanks A Lot" and "All I really need is a song in my heart and love in my family (not the real name but I don't have it with me). The CD is a nice mix of songs from happy to loving to night time.

4 out of 5 stars Baby Beluga CD.......2007-05-25

Overall this is a fun CD to listen to, my 2 yr old was entertained, as well as my 5 yr old. There are a couple of slow songs, but for the most part they are upbeat. Listen to the sample, that is what sold me.

5 out of 5 stars Raffi is a timeless children's classic........2007-05-12

That's all- Raffi is a timeless children's classic. Easy to sing along to, easy to listen to!

5 out of 5 stars Lots of Fun!.......2007-04-27

We love this CD. The songs are great and lots of fun to sing along with. It pleasantly surprised me that although these songs were recorded in 1980, they don't sound 80's. I would recommend buying this book along with it for even more fun! Baby Beluga (Raffi Songs to Read)

I see this has "Waiting on the World to Change." How long have these children been waiting? since the Commercial break for Spongebob? Yeech!!!!

1 out of 5 stars Disturbing! What is wrong with parents?.......2007-06-12

OMG..."Irreplacable" & "Lips of an Angel". Parents need to read the lyrics to these songs. These are songs with adult content. Man, they will sell anything to gullible parents.

Marilyn Manson is more kid-friendly than this.

1 out of 5 stars Please spare us all of this horrid monstrosity........2007-05-31

What the hell is this? Kidz Bop takes crappy generic pop songs, but instead of gay male altos and sellout whores singing, you get children! Why would you create such torturous music? It makes me want to bite my penis off. Also, I'm tired of seeing those commercials on my cartoon stations. Dammit.

1 out of 5 stars A disturbing warp on good songs.......2007-05-19

I'll make this short and sweet: Kidzbop destroys good songs. It is actually amusing though to see just how horribly they distort them. All the children singing have extremely exasperating voices and after the initial amusement at the lameness, Kidzbop just oozes annoyance. You couldn't pay me enough to make me want to listen to this CD.

5 out of 5 stars Kidz Bop, Vol. 11 review.......2007-05-15

My four year old son loves this CD. In fact, he likes all the Kidz Bop CD's. It's nice that he can listen to popular music without being exposed to anything inappropriate.

5 out of 5 stars love it, love it, love it.......2007-07-28

this is a great cd for both mom & baby (or dad & baby). We dance to it, sing to it & listen to it in the car. She's only 15 mos. old so she's not old enough to appreciate the lyrics quite yet. Still, I pull out puppets in desperate times and have them sing & act out the songs when we're in the car on long road trips and nothing seems to work. You know, I just don't get sick of this cd. That's saying alot!

5 out of 5 stars These songs are Great!!.......2007-07-05

My baby sure does love this CD, too. This Backyardigans CD has alot of my child's favorites. I have to sing about the pirate saying "ARRR" more times than I care to remember. The tunes are catchy, have modern music in them and, MOST IMPORTANTLY, DON'T SOUND LIKE A PURPLE DINOSAUR!!!! BUY BOTH OF THEM!!!!

5 out of 5 stars Great CD for all Little Backyardigan Fans.......2007-06-08

I bought this for my three year old daughter who loves watching The Backyardigans on TV. It is a BIG hit!! She loves listening to it, and it's fun to watch her sing along.

5 out of 5 stars The Backyardigans CD .......2007-06-03

This is one of the best children's CDs out there. Quite frankly I am sick of it right now because I have heard it so much. But, when it's back on again, I'll be singing right along with it. Oh, my daughter loves it too.

5 out of 5 stars Backyardigans Rule.......2007-06-02

We love the Backyardigans show and we're so glad to have the CD too. My son loves to sing and dance along (and so do I, but don't tell), and when he hears each song, he recalls which episode and what happened too. Great CD with a variety of songs from the first season of the show! We'll be getting the second CD soon!

First things first: to appreciate The Backyardigans soundtrack, it is absolutely crucial that you have a 2-, 3-, or 4-year-old within footsie-playing distance. Like the soundtracks to virtually every other show on Nick Jr.'s much-adored lineup, this is a disc formulated with scant regard for grown-up sensibilities. But rightly so. After all, preschoolers can't be blamed for having a predilection for the preschoolerish, and who wants to hear fussy, good-for-the-whole-family songs--the musical equivalent of peanut butter and jelly on whole wheat, crusts attached--when Pablo the penguin, Tyrone the moose, and Tasha the hippo are on hand? To its credit, cartoony voices aside, this animated crew kicks out the jams: Uniqua and the gang get down on the disco-fueled "Shake Your Body" and then go gently hip-hopping through the grass to their own "Rad Moves," and minute-long forays into pop, rock, folk, big band, celtic, calypso, klezmer, and even dixieland follow. You may not place as much value on being a princess as the Pepto Bismol-colored Uniqua (see "I Love Being a Princess"), but count on any TV-watching, tiara-wielding kid in your household to know exactly where she's coming from. Here's a disc solid enough to keep on spinning until gigantic singing playthings somehow lose their appeal. --Tammy La Gorce

5 out of 5 stars Great music for kids and adults!.......2007-07-30

If you love the Backyardigans shows, you will love this new CD! It's a long CD, which is good! My kids love all the songs!

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful kids CD!.......2007-07-20

My older son is four and he and I both enjoy this CD. The music is fantastic. Great selections from the show!

5 out of 5 stars My kids stopped fighting because of this CD.......2007-07-03

I had bought this CD in preparation for a long car ride with my 2 boys (3 and 4 years old). Before we left, they were fighting about everything and driving me crazy (no pun intended). When we got in the car, I put this CD in, and it was magic--the boys were entranced, humming along, talking about the songs, saying which songs were the best (the first one). For the end of the fight alone, this CD was worth its money. We're going on a long road trip this summer, and I'm definitely bringing this CD along.

To be honest, I liked the songs too. The first song is Elvis-ish, the second is blues, the third is disco...it's a musical style mix tape! And the kids on the disc can sing. Impressive.

2 out of 5 stars Not as good as the first.......2007-07-03

I have a 16 month old and this one is definitely not as good as the original CDThe Backyardigans. My little one doesn't sing along with this one, so I've determined that she doesn't like it. Songs are not as catchy or as likeable to me. I've gone back to playing the original CD for her. Sorry.

5 out of 5 stars Daughter likes=Good product.......2007-06-08

Contrasted with the whiny, obnoxious Dora music, the Backyardigans is enjoyable, and if it makes my baby girl happy, then I'm happy. A good CD that even parents can enjoy.

Amazon.com

There are thousands upon thousands of children's albums out there, but the one that quietly left its mark with more '70s children than perhaps any other album was this disc. Free to Be...You and Me was a pet project of proud feminist Marlo Thomas (a.k.a. "That Girl"), and it was born--according to the liner notes--by the desire to provide her niece with music "to celebrate who she was and who she could be." Harry Belafonte sings "Parents Are People," ex-football great Rosie Grier offers an incredible, touching melody titled "It's All Right to Cry," and Diana Ross waxes future-positive on "When We Grow Up." A great hour of brain food for young--and not-so-young--children. --Denise Sheppard

3 out of 5 stars Okay but definately 70's sounding.......2007-07-10

I remembered this from childhood so I bought it. It's okay but you don't want to listen to it over & over, the songs and skits get irksome after the first run through. Not actually all songs, some short skits - a lot to do with gender equality wich is good but not alltogether entertaining... I prefer Billy Jonas - What Kind of Cat Are You!!!

5 out of 5 stars Oldie but a Goodie.......2007-06-27

This title was great when my children were children; now they're adults with children of their own, and it's still great. We keep it in the player in the car for when the grandkids ride with us along with Peter, Paul and Mommy and Peter, Paul, and Mommy Too. The grandkids enjoy it just as much as our kids did.

4 out of 5 stars I still remember all the words.......2007-05-24

Every time I hear these songs, it takes me back to my very first Fisher Price record player! I can still sing along with every song. My husband thinks the collection is a bit cheesey, and he is probably right. But that never stopped me from loving the best memories of my childhood. We are buying the collection for our children for sure!

5 out of 5 stars Still fresh and new.......2007-05-12

Not literally fresh and new, perhaps, but thirty years ago when I was first listening to this on vinyl, I never would have imagined that the message would still be essential in the 21st century. I've been buying copies for the kids of all my friends and relatives, because I hope that the more people listen to this growing up, the more likely that eventually we'll live in a world where this CD isn't needed.

5 out of 5 stars Still great after all these years! .......2007-03-14

An early birthday gift for my daughter (to be nine in April '07) - she can't get enough of this CD! After one listen, she was quoting bits and bites and getting up to hit "repeat" on the CD player. Cool.

My sister and I loved it as kids and though it's a teeny bit dated, the messages are sound, clear, and still 'work' today. The comedy is great for all ages(who can beat Mel Brooks and Alan Alda?)
So, my review says: get it! Listen ofen! And give it to someone you love!

5 out of 5 stars Useful Tools For Children of All Ages and Home Schoolers.......2007-03-14

This School House edition is used by my grand-children ages 6 and 4 and is very upbeat. Best of School House Rock captures the childrens imagination and remains as a vivid learning tool. My daughter learned many of the basics as a young person when the Videos of School House were available when she was younger.

4 out of 5 stars Nice Collection, But Could Have Had Room For At Least One More Great Tune.......2007-03-13

This is a good collection of those catchy favorites, as I remember enjoying them as a wee lad, but there's certainly room for Lolly, Lolly, Lolly, Get Your Adverbs Here. Small gripe, but collections invariably leave out someone's personal favorite I suppose, and I always dug that one. Glad though that these educational (and musically well-crafted ditties) are on remastered CDs at last.
