This CD has most of the songs I liked from their other albums, without the borderline/questionable ones I used to skip over for the kids (because they were too scary or gross for my 4-year-olds, like "the cat came back" or the one that said "I'd rather eat boogers..."). I didn't realize it was a _live_ album until I bought it. They should have done the little "we're the only ones who do a nursery-rhyme polka" explanation before launching into "out the window". (I love that bit). They should also have included the "Guess I need a bandaid" song - that would have upped my rating to 5 stars...but it's a VERY good, very "must-have" album for anyone who has to spend time in the car with 4-10 year olds a lot...funny for both kids and adults!

For everyone who has ever said "not AGAIN" when loading traditional "kids" music in the car, this is the album for your family. We got ours on cassette and wore it out; we're still not tired of it. Who can resist a group that counts to 18 in roman numerals and gets it right? The songs are singable, danceable, and great fun. It's got just the right mix of fast and slow, silly and serious, and none of the annoying frenetic goofiness often heard in kids albums.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific Trout, August 30, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Family Music Party (Audio Cassette)

This is children's music that even Mom and Dad can enjoy. I find myself listening to it even when the kids aren't in the car and so does my husband!! The songs have a great sense of wonder and innocence (gee, not much of that around these days) without being too sugary!! The Kids absolutly love it and it certainly is a great deal of fun. My particular favorite song on this CD is "My World" as it not only gives kids something to relate to, but also reminds us grown ups what it is like to be a child. I also like "Back When I could Fly" and the whole family loves "My Hair Had a Party". This is a great addition to any family's musical collection!!!
