Editorial Reviews

You and your child will move to the groove, boogie with the backbeat, and sing the sometimes-silly lyrics to these rock 'n' roll classics right out loud. Transported from the days of soda fountains, poodle skirts, and drive-in burger joints, these playful, exuberant songs are as infectious today as they were in the '50s and '60s. Hey, they might even get Grandma and Grandpa tapping a toe or two.

This is a fun CD for both kids and parents. My kids are 7 and 10 and they love the songs. My husband and I can sing along too. Great family-oriented CD.

Each song on this cd is energizing. One of my favorites. My daughter and I sing and dance together to this cd more than any other. This is the type of "happy, fun" music that gets people motivated to move.

It's hard to find a CD that has all rock and roll songs that you would include, but this one comes closest of any that I have found. I unhesitatingly give the CD five stars even though it would be complete, in my opinion, if I could substitute The Witch Doctor and Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini in place of two that ARE included on the CD such as Willie and The Hand Jive and perhaps The Monster Mash. Someone previously said they hate The Name Game. I think that song is ridiculously great. However, you can't go wrong in buying this. Find the lyrics to the songs on your computer and have a great sing along with some kids. That's what I am doing with my after school class of 5th-7th graders. It is sure to be a great time.
