A lot of people say the Baha Men are one hit wonders, I like to call those people technically right.

I bought this cd hoping I would finally get an answer to the question, Who let the dogs out? I mean honestly I just wanted closure on the whole thing. Instead I was treated to 13 tracks that almost all somehow managed to work the word 'Shake' into them!

Sadly I was arrested because of this cd, I was at a dance and asked the DJ (slang term for Disc Jockey) to put on my favourite Baha Men song (I know how can I just pick one... so many to choose from!!) I got him to put on 'Move it Like This'. I was excited because I had come up with my own dance routine for the song that was really hot and fit the lyrics perfectly, sadly when it got to the line that said "We gonna get up on the dance floor and do the PeeWee Herman" I was thrown out of the blue light disco for touching myself in an innapropriate matter, whatever that means?

Anyway the cd is great especially for people who like to Shake it OR Shake it up!

Okay, maybe "sell out" isn't the proper term for a group that's never going to get its due no matter what. But that's exactly what Move It Like This sounds like, a much more straight-up, mainstream friendly offering than their career-making (and -breaking at the same time, ironically enough) Who Let The Dogs Out.

Lessee...Put The Lime In The Coconut is an interesting take on the old Harry Nilsson cornball classic. Best Years of our Lives has that lively island beat that drew me to them in the first place. Move It Like This is a seamless "medley vocals" number. The rest...unremakable pop.

It's good, don't get me wrong, but still a step down from Who Let The Dogs Out. (And if you listen to both albums in their entirety, you'll know why. :-D)

I own everyone of the BahaMen CD, and this latest one is GREAT! The island rhythms of The Wave, Normal, Best Years of our Lives, and Break Away are terrific! A real "feel good" CD! Also the remix of Lime in the Coconut is unbelievable! Worth the price of the CD alone!

...The baha men rocked my world and they can rock yours to....

This cd is great. the songs are great except for I thank heaven. that is not a very good song. it is too slow. every thing else is the best! Baha men should make another cd with all their greatest hits on it.

I could tell you how I feel about the Baha Men. Like, for example how I don't feel that barking and screaming "WHO LET THE DOGS OUT?" qualifies as music, or how every song they've ever put out sounds absolutely identical to every OTHER song they've ever put out, but instead, I'll let you know what I think of this CD.

The Baha Men have put "Move It Like This" riding the wave of short-lived fame they received from "Who Let the Dogs Out." If you listen to this CD long enough (and oh gosh it's so long), you will eventually discover that every track on here is the same as the one before. They just scream to put lime in the coconut or move it like this a little louder in some places.

Don't fall for it. I'd get Key West's (the band, not the place) album if I were looking for tropical sounding party music.

Listen, I will admit that the main reason we purchased Move
it Like This was because my two daughters (6 & 9) wanted it.
But to my surprise it is a very enjoyable listen. The songs
have a great beat and the lyrics are fun. I find myself
reaching for the CD quite often as I commute to work. Yes the
songs can be similar, but they are enjoyable and fun to listen
to. After hearing the album I would buy even if the kids didn't
request.

A Reggae/Hip hop blend style that is good dance music. I bought this CD because I really liked the "Best Years of our Lives" song from Shrek. Unfortunately that is, in my opinion, the best song on this disk.

The vocals are good but the rap blend doesn't work as well as it might and they use it *everywhere*. There is clearly a lot of fun here and that is my criteria for good dance music but the "sound" that started emerging in Best Years is only hinted at in the other pieces. With a bit more seasoning these guys should develop into a great dance band.

Nothing triggers the "mother nature" in us like a baby animal in distress. But how do you know when to step in and when to take a hike? Take this quiz to find out.

1. You're out walking the dog when you find a nest of baby bunnies. There is no sign of mom. You should:
a. leave the babies alone. Mom will show up eventually.
b. put a box over the babies to protect them overnight, then remove the box in the morning and keep an eye out for mama bunny.
c. take them to the animal shelter.

2. You see a baby bird hopping along the ground. She tries to fly but can only flutter a few feet. You notice that her tail feathers are very short. You should:
a. leave the bird alone. Her parents are probably nearby and feeding her.
b. put the bird in a box and feed her worms.
c. take the bird to the animal shelter.

3. A teensy opossum shows up alone on the back porch one night. You should:
a. leave the baby alone. Mama's probably checking out the neighbor's garbage.
b. put the baby in a box and put the box in a tree for the mother to find.
c. put a box over the baby and call the animal shelter or a wildlife rehabilitator for advice.

4. You hear strange noises coming from the chimney and realize a family of raccoons has mistaken your chimney for a hollow tree. You should:
a. close the damper and wait for the babies to get old enough to leave.
b. light a fire. The smoke will frighten the raccoons away.
c. call a "pest" control company.

Answers
1. a. A mother rabbit will visit her nest only for a few minutes each day. If she senses danger, she may stay away for as long as 36 hours. She probably does this because her scent will attract predators. Lay a few blades of grass in a pattern on top of the nest. Look the next day. If the blades have been disturbed, you know mom's around.

2. a. Most baby birds leave the nest before they can fly. These fledglings stay on the ground for several days while they are testing their wings and growing tail feathers. Their parents feed them regularly. Feeding worms to a baby bird can be harmful. Many birds eat mostly seeds, not worms, and force-feeding them worms could be fatal. Birds who are very tiny may have fallen out of their nests. If you can't find the nest, put the baby in a box nailed to a tree. If the parents are looking for their baby, they will care for him or her right in your "homemade" nest. (Contrary to popular belief, parent birds will not reject their baby because of being handled by humans.) If the parents push the baby bird out of the box or ignore him or her, the baby is probably sick, and it is time to call a wildlife rehabilitator (call PETA for names of rehabilitators in your area).

3. c. Opossums are marsupials, like kangaroos, and carry their babies in a pouch. A baby opossum out alone is probably an orphan. Don't touch the opossum-they have very sharp teeth! Put a box punched with air holes over the baby and take him or her to a wildlife rehabilitator or shelter.

4. a. Don't try to "smoke out" raccoons-babies can fall into the fire and be burned. Calling an exterminator isn't a great idea either-exterminators usually kill them. The best thing to do is leave wildlife tenants alone. When the babies get old enough (in a few weeks), everyone will move out. Then it's time to cap your chimney and seal up all the possible entrances-but only after you're sure all the babies are gone.

How'd You Score?
Give yourself one point for each correct answer.

0-1 As guardian angels go, it looks like you're still a "fledgling." To help earn your wings, check out PETA's "Living in Harmony" factsheet.

2-3 You're getting there, grasshopper. When in doubt, call your local shelter. Most shelters have names and numbers of wildlife rehabilitators, who are usually the best people to turn to for help. Keep their names and phone numbers by your phone in case of an emergency.

4 Don't come between this "mama bear" and her "cubs"-she knows what she's doing!

Chaps and chapettes, lend me your ears! The Baha Men are geniuses, geniuses of reggae. Bob Marley used to be my favorite, but ol' Robert couldn't hold a candle to these fellows!

I first heard this down at the fish and chips shop with my friend Nigel. We bloody lost it! AMAZING!

Though almost any track will repsectively be your salt & vinegar my favorite is "We Rubbin'"

CLASS ABSOLUTE CLASS!!!
