This is the first time I had ever knowingly heard the Andrews Sisters. I bought this album just for something different; I love trying something completely new to me once in a while.

WONDERFUL! This whole album is fantastic, and it comes PACKED with great songs, 25 in all! I knew only the songs "Shoo, Shoo, Baby" (this was in a television commercial at some point...I only recognized it AFTER I bought the album); "Ac-cent-tu-ate the Positive" -- which you would probably know, too, regardless of your knowledge of the Andrews Sisters; and "Straighten Up and Fly Right," which was also instantly recognizable.

There are so many catchy tunes on this CD, from "Ti-pi-tin" to "South America, Take It Away," to my personal favorite "Strip Polka," which just has such cute and funny lyrics -- surprising for the time period in which it debuted (but then, she always stopped just in time...).

If you like to dance, if you like to listen to music, if you like fun lyrics that are simply classics, many of which are accompanied by the sensational Bing Crosby (and Civilization is accompanied by Danny Kaye), give this album a try, whether you know every song on the album or have never heard the Andrews Sisters in your life. Top notch music that will expand your musical horizons.

We bought this CD because my son loves the "oh johnny" song for Narnia. This is a cute CD, with some very old songs that I never heard, but it is enjoyable.
