If you want to know what Hampton was like in the past, now's your chance. With 6 songs and 2 videos, this CD is a great collection for hampster lovers. And the album cover with a parody of the Beetles is a nice touch. Let us break down the songs:

1. The Hampsterdance Song - This was the song that Hampton and the Hampsters are best known for. Very fun indeed! The instrumental part is really rocking and everything fits in nicely. There are rap parts, but they aren't bad at all. And either way I think Hampton is the best rapper around.

2. Thank God I'm a Country Boy - The lyrics flow nicely, and the rhyming is exceptional here. Unfortunatly the melody stays the same and it can get dull after awhile. Since it's only 2:45 that's no big deal anyway. A cute song overall.

3. Hampster Party - This is a great rock song! The progression is nice and the key change from the verse to the chorus is a nice touch. There are also DJ sounds integrated into the song which are kind of funny.

4. Dance to the Music - This is a fun energetic song where each hampster takes a solo with their instrument. The breakdown with the doodoo's is cool too. Also there are some pretty sweet drum rolls.

5. The Hampsterdance Song (Extended Mix) - The same as the original song except there is an extra intro tagged onto the beginning. This intro is pretty good, but nothing more.

6. The Hampsterdance Song (Club Mix) - This is an odd one. It has almost nothing to do with the original song, rather it is its own tune. It follows a 1-4-5 progression the whole time, which can get kind of dull after awhile. However there is a lot going on here. The muffled dedodedo's make Hampton sound like he's drowning.

And for the videos:

The Hampsterdance Song - The video is cool, with Hampton and the Hampsters flying around the globe and dancing for everyone. It doesn't exactly pay respect to what's going on in the music, but it's still fun to watch. The artwork is kind of old so it isn't as great.

Thank God I'm a Country Boy - Again, the artwork here is old, if not older than the other video. It's mostly goofing off, with farmers and animals dancing with the Hampsters.

Even thou this says it is for children adults will enjoy this too.These are great dance songs and along side other dance music like Rednex Cotton Eyed Joe and Neal Mccoy's Hillbilly Rap and Elvis Presely's All Shook Up these will sound great.Also some cloggers use the hamsterdance for their show.

My children have a new favorite cd. This is great to listen to in the car and on the MP3 player. It will make you smile. My kids put this on and run around in circles. Its great to help get their energy out right before bed.
My wife originally asked why there were only 6 songs on the disk. But it is just right. Any less you would feel like you weren't getting your money's worth. Any more and you would go insane.

I bought this for my daughter's 5th birthday...she loves hamsters (among other dritters). She loves it! The surprise was that my 9 and 12 year olds love it too. The even bigger surprise is that my husband and I even enjoy it...ok, we don't listen to it alone. But when the kids beg to play it on the van cd player, we don't mind. I thought it would be annoying (think "Alvin and the Chipmunks") but it isn't. The music actually has beat, melody, and is very catchy. Just good fun.

This C.D. is a cute one to add to a silly mix/collection. I can't say that I am overly impressed with it, however, we (the kids & I) do boggie to some of the songs. I think I can deal with it for another few months... :-)

My kids love this CD, it's a really fun collection of songs that you'll be tapping your foot to even when the music has stopped. Our boys, aged under 10, love to jump around to this music and sing, having this CD during fun time at the house really helps to connect you and your kids and show them that you can listen to their music too, and enjoy it!

RECOMMENDED!

my two little girls love to dance to this music. they say that this is one of the best cd's that they have. they love the hampster dance song.

This CD was cool. I bought it to annoy my dad and it did just that. I would definetly suggest it if you like the sound of the chipmunks. It has a funky new beat that just keeps on going.

I bought this cd for one and only one purpose. The hampster dance song. I found the rest of the songs were quite annoying and copys of other songs, just sung by hamsters. The best songs were the 3 songs of the hampster dance song which are just about the only original song on the cd. I give it 4/5 stars for the 3 songs, not for the cd.

I really just wanted the Hamster Dance song to give to a friend and they loved it. So peppy and energizing.
