4.0 out of 5 stars Very Good Collection....but......., July 14, 2003

.....there are a few concerns that make it not get a full five stars. First, why is the Relient K version of "The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything" included? Not that their version is bad, but there are already too many songs from the "Jonah" movie and the original or the "redux" version would have been a better choice for a "best of" collection. Second, now I love "Endangered Love," but it was actually voted LAST in the Ultimate Silly Songs Countdown. It's inclusion over "Love My Lips" or "The Song of the Cebu" is puzzling. Also, I wish more songs from the past episodes were included - "Madame Blueberry" has three where "Esther," "Josh," and "Lyle" has NONE! But, where this collection really shines is with two upcoming songs. "Bellybutton" from "The Ballad of Little Joe" is the funniest silly song since "His Cheeseburger." I had it on repeat after I first heard it! It is that good. Also, "Hope's Song" from "An Easter Carol" by Rebecca St. James is wonderfully sung. Overall, this is a good collection - can't wait to see what the next 10 years have in store - KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK BIG IDEA!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Almost the Veggie Best from Big Idea, July 30, 2003

To celebrate ten years making videos, Big Idea has released this CD. It chronicles their musical journey, starting with an all new recording of the "VeggieTales Theme Song" hitting several of their videos and CD releases right up through Jonah. They even include a sneak peak at songs from a couple of upcoming video releases.

First the good. As any VeggieTales fan knows, some of the best parts of the videos are the songs. They manage to make a serious lesson fun. I still love "God is Bigger." "I Can Be Your Friend" is another song that fits this category. And you can't leave out the silly songs, best represented here by "The Hairbrush Song" and "His Cheeseburger." Six of the tracks are from the Jonah soundtrack, and they include the best, including Relient K's version of "The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything," the Newsboys "In the Belly of the Whale," and the "Credits Song."

A special word about the two new songs. "Bellybutton" is one of the best silly songs they've done in a long time. Sounds to me like they are bringing "Love Songs with Mr. Lunt" back. Can't wait to see the video for it. "Hope's Song," sung by Rebecca St. James, is a beautiful song tying Christmas and Easter together. Can't wait for that video either.

So, what's the bad? The song selection is sometimes puzzling. Three of the tracks are from Madame Blueberry. "Endangered Love" makes this collection instead of "I Love My Lips" or one of the other, better, silly songs. Furthermore, 4 of the tracks are from their recent music CD releases. While a couple showed up on the recent video released, why did they earn a place on this CD? Especially the non-original songs like "Modern Major General" and "Joshua Fought the Battle of Jericho." Of course, having said that, I must admit that I love "My Day" and am very glad to have it on this disc.

Overall, this is a fun CD celebrating ten years entertaining the kid in everyone. While a few poor choices make it less then perfect, it's still a great collection for fans of the hardest working vegetables currently in show business.

4.0 out of 5 stars fun, September 14, 2003

This review is from: Have We Got a Show for You (Audio CD)

I got hooked on vegitales when I picked up a video for my nephew a few years ago. I dont have kids either so I did not buy this CD for them. THis is a terrific compilation. Its a great CD to destress with after a long day at work. THe only song I did not really like was "The Credits Song". My favorites are of course "his cheeseburger", "in the belly of a whale", and especially "Hope's song". Overall, I love the messages these songs give to kids and even to us adults. Where was "God is bigger" when we were kids? So if you are considering a terrific CD for a child close to you, this is the one to get.
