5.0 out of 5 stars Only know one song, but that's probably enough!, December 20, 2005

This review is from: GRUMPY (Audio CD)

I'm only familiar with one song from this album - Grumpy. I've seen the video on Noggin, and LOVE IT! Catchy (but not insipid) music with lyrics that get to the heart of the matter. This song reminds me of my mom and her, "Go away! Not far and not for long, but go away!"

"If you wanna be a grump, that's ok.
But could you be a grumpy kinda further away?
It's not that I don't love you, 'cause you know I do.
Sometimes I'm grumpy too."

The song acknowledges that the adult understands how the kid feels - "when your oatmeal's lumpy and your socks are all bumpy, what's a poor kid to do?"

Grumpies, udgies, and peskies of the world unite! Someone understands!

As an aside, the video is a HOOT! (See www.noggin.com and go to Jack's Big Music Show.) He has the funniest facial expressions, almost reminding one of Red Skelton at times.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: GRUMPY (Audio CD)

My name is Roman and my brother is Milo. We have our own music box and my dad gave us our Grumpy CD.
We like it and play it all the time but not at bedtime.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, March 22, 2006

By 

Bernalgirl (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: GRUMPY (Audio CD)

Our family loves the Belly Button Song from the Sing Along with Putumayo CD, so we had high hopes for this disc. Unfortunately, the songs are plagued by a sameness that makes this hard to listen to. Grumpy is great, but the others tend to run together.
