While not strictly a soundtrack of the classic television series "I Love Lucy", this CD does have several of the most memorable musical numbers from the show.

The Mertzes and Lucy join in with Desi on "Jingle Bells", "California Here I come" and others. Famous Lucy & Desi numbers include "Cuban Pete", "We're Having a Baby", "There's a Brand New Baby at Our House", and the vocal version of the "I Love Lucy" theme song. These are interspersed with songs taken from classic radio programs featuring Desi.

The opening cut is a modernized dance version of "Babalu" with dialog from the show spliced in as a rap-like accompaniment. A little annoying at first, but it can grow on you if you let it.

The opening cut was made by Weird Al of pop star impersonation fame ("Eat It", "Girls Just Want to Have Lunch", "The Saga Begins", "Dare to be Stupid").

Yankovic also produced the CD. In a nice turn, he keeps a low profile on the album, letting the music of the Lucy show speak almost entirely for itself. I thought that showed a respect for the classic series, and more importantly, for Desi's music.

The CD is reasonably priced, and well worth the smiles you'll get remembering musical moments from "I Love Lucy".

This is the greatest CD I have ever heard. Desi Arnaz is perhaps the greatest singer-songwriter our country has ever seen. It is an honor for me to be able to review this incredible work of art. It is a sign of Amazon's musical credibility that they carry this album.

If your a Lucy fan or not your going to LOVE this CD.It's the best CD I own and I encourage anyone who enjoys music or loves Lucy to buy it.

I find this CD very interesting to listen to!! I could not believe that the person who produced and compiled this album was none other than Weird Al Yankovic!! That was a cool surprise!! The very first sonng on this CD is comical and excellent to dance to!!!! The other songs bring me back lots of memories when Lucy was doing her funny routines on the show!! I find this CD very enjoyable to Lucille Ball fans!!!!

This is definately worth the money. The best recognition of the I Love Lucy show yet. Al Yankovic should be commended for his GREA T work. See he's not so "weird" after all.

I bought this cd a while ago and i never stop listening to it. Its one of my favorite cd's i take it to all my trips and always listen to it. The comedy on the Cd doesn't ever make you get tired of it. If you liked the show , you'll love this cd. Trust me.

We love it! Please make a volume 2. With songs like "Lilly of the valley" and "santiago Chile," just to name a few. This is a cool CD that never goes out of style, because everyone loves Lucy!

I just got this album yesterday, and have already listened to it eight times. This is an absolute must for any lucy fan. Everyone will love this cd. I would love a part ll !! I liked Weird Al before, but now I have a lot more respect for his work, because of the quality of this cd which he produced. Thanks Weird Al, I am forever grateful!

This cd is fantastic! I am a huge I Love Lucy fan, and I couldn't wait for this to come. I was surprised to read that Wierd Al produced this. He did a terrific job. It's really neat because he also threw in dialogue from the show which makes it even better. There are a few songs that I have never even heard of before. I listen to this cd all the time, and I would love it if they made a part II.

This CD is soooooo good! My personal favorite is Cuban Pete. But thats just me! Adios
