From the opening Greasy Kid Stuff theme song to the closing Yo La Tengo version of My Little Corner of the World, Songs From Inside The Radio opens up a whole world of really good, fun music to enjoy with your kids. It is rockingly reminiscent of the great kids' music era ushered in by Peter Seger and Woody Guthrie. Hockey Monkey motivated my 8 yr. old son to pick up a guitar to learn to play and sing along. Ants in My Pants is hysterically funny to my 5 yr old. Chicken Impossible really gets the whole family listening. Them Bones is, of course, classic in the kids' music genre. That's Where the Plaque Is, has always been a tooth-brushing family favorite. This CD is a wonderful, fun way to bring really great music into your child's world and keep the doors open for communication, You Can Make a Difference if You Try, Try, Try.

My kids love this radio program, and this CD too! We would never buy (or even know where to look for) whole albums by these artists, so it is great to see them together in one place, great for long car trips!

Awesome, un-sappy kids' album. Perfect gift for parents who are cool and kids who are imaginative. The Sound of Worms is a 4-8 year old crowd pleaser!

I haven't heard the CD yet, but I know the songs well from years of listening to Hova and Belinda's show. This is a fun CD that isn't just for kids. It's also for those who are kids at heart.
Tony Burillo's "There's A New Sound(The Sound of Worms") is a strange, catchy and slightly haunting tune. The Happiest Guys in the World's, "You Can Make a Difference If You Try, Try Try" is an upbeat anthem, and a pretty good blueprint for life. James Kochalka's "Monkey vs. Robot" is hilarious and Michael Shelly's ode to toothbrushing,"Thats Where the Plaque Is" will make every kid want to brush and floss each day. And to top it all off, Barbara Manning and the SF Seals "Kids Pirate Ship" is just plain fun.

My only quarrel with this is CD that it isn't twice as long. I can think of another 50 songs that deserve to be included. I hope there is a "Songs From Inside the Radio II" in the future.

Great great stuff!

The last song (by Yola Tango) even reminds me some of Belle and Sebastian (!)

Great great fun - VERY highly recommended!

Now go have a cookie

I bought this CD for my 4 yr old at Christmas and it quickly found it's way on repeat play in the car. The songs are really fun and quirky - just right for any kid (young or old)! These are songs you will get a chuckle out of as you catch yourself humming them with no kids in sight. Some of our favorites include the Sound of Worms, Hockey Monkey, and Up & Down. Good stuff to belt out on any car ride with your kids.
