Join your favorite vegetables as they 'celebrate' with fellow Veggie Jimmy Gourd (aka Dr. Jiggle) at the roller rink disco party. With the playlist including 12 songs (including Veggie dialogue), and lasting a little over 47 minutes...it is well worth the cost of admission :)

Songs include: Funky Town, Locomotion, Lean On Me, Car Wash, Proud Mary, Jesus Is Just Alright, You Are The Sunshine of My Life, Crocodile Rock, The Lion Sleeps Tonight, I Just Want To Celebrate, I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing, We Are Family.

#1 Funky Town, the longest song on the album, is 5:28. Sung by a medley of veggies and featuring lively banter as well as lots of electronic noise...while it can be tedious with so much repetition...it is fun at heart. 4 out of 5.

#2 Locomotion sung by Junior and a medley of kids and veggies. While I must admit the original never thrilled me, Junior is my favorite veggie...so it's tolerable if not enjoyable at times. Archibald particularly gets into this song... 4 out of 5.

#3 Lean On Me. Sung by Bob & Larry...along with other Veggies and kids on different verses. I liked Mr. Nezzer singing the deep parts. it's a nice song...4 out of 5.

#4 Car Wash -- Larry can't wait to talk about his 'new job' at the car wash. 4.5 out of 5

#5 Proud Mary -- my least favorite on the album...sung by Mr. Lunt & Mr. Nezzer...among others. 3 out of 5

#6 Jesus is Just Alright...a nice fun song...4.5/5 I really enjoy the 'slow' and soulful part where Junior's singing ability is given a chance to shine :)

#7 You Are the Sunshine of My Life...5/5...I love the part with the French peas in this song...although a medley does contribute throughout the song...including some significant portions by Junior.

#8 Crocodile Rock ....5/5...by far one of my favorites on the album. Sung primarily by Archibald Asparagus and Junior...Junior ends up stealing the show.

#9 The Lion Sleeps Tonight.... 5/5 This song is without a doubt my absolute favorite from the album. It is just too much fun.

#10 I Just Want To Celebrate...4/5

#11 I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing -- 5/5/ I might have lied about my favorite song. This one is just so good...so sweet...so innocent.

#12 We Are Family -- 4/5

Veggies....70's music....

What's there not to love? The only reason that I give 4 stars instead of 5 is that some of the versions are hard to understand if you don't know the origional. This is a small problem for my 3 year old. However, with Daddy singing them with her and Mommy rolling her eyes in the corner, she gets the idea!

My husband and I have been veggie tales fans for years. Now that we have a newborn we have an excuse to flush out our collection. This is our newest CD and all three of us LOVE it! We highly recomend it to any veggie tales fan for "Saturday morning fun"! We're listening to the CD as I am writing this, and my husband is dancing around the room with our little guy! Enjoy!

This CD is just so much fun! Not only do the kids love to sing along with it, so do I as it is the songs with which I am familiar. I love the way Veggie Tales has 'added to' the songs to make them more fun!

For those of you Moms who enjoyed the songs of the 70's - well now you can enjoy them all over again along with your kids! Veggie Tales do an AWESOME job of singing these great hits of the 70's!!!

Veggie Tales have always been a favorite in our household and this CD doesn't change our opinion. I have two daughters who are 4.5 and 2.5 years old and they LOVE this CD. I love it too since this is the era I grew up in and the songs I sang when I was younger.

This is the only CD our grandson wants to listen to. We actually enjoy the Veggie Tales singing too! Thanks for so much fun and making him happy.

I have two boys ages 5 and 3. And they just can't stop singing and dancing to the songs. Their favorites are FunkyTown, Car Wash, Proud Mary, Jesus is Alright, and Crocodile Rock. We're already fans of Veggie Tales videos and music so this one is a great addition to our collection.

This music is so cute! I love playing it, even when my toddler isn't really listening. I love Proud Mary and Workin' at the Car Wash!

Everytime I put this in the CD Player, my six month old just starts to cackle! He loves this, which is really great since I already know all of the words to every song. Being a first time listener to Veggie Tales, I was not a huge fan the first time I listened to this CD but it grew on me quickly. I have even bought another of thier CDs already (Veggie Rocks)!
