5.0 out of 5 stars High Energy Musical Fun for Babies and Adults!, March 9, 1999

This review is from: Out of This World (Audio CD)

This CD was my toddler's introduction to alternative groups like XTC and They Might Be Giants. It is high energy (great for dancing my I'd-rather-die-before-being-rocked-to-sleep-with-a-lullabye baby to sleep) and extremely clever. There isn't a bad song on the CD. And yes, it includes Rockapella!

This review is from: Out of This World (Audio CD)

This great cd provides an introduction to "alternative" bands such as "They Might Be Giants" with the excellent "Why Does The Sun Shine?" and Greg Lee with his "Brief Disclaimer" - that's worth the price of admission alone.

But there's more - more Greg Lee, XTC (with "Cherry in Your Tree") Johnny Nexdoor and His Neighbors, and of course, Rockapella. (How could you have a "Carmen Sandiego" cd without Rockapella?"

So buy this cd and enjoy the great music.

I was seven when this cd came out and I can remember it was showcased at my library. Me being a ridiculous Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego (the gameshow) fan, I begged my mom to take it out on her card. I don't regret getting it but i'm sure my mom did as I can still remember jumping around my room to "Half A World Away" (a catchy alternative song that I still remember a lot of the words to more than 10 years later). And a little diddy "The sun is a mass of incandescent gas A gigantic nuclear furnace where hydrogen is built into helium at a temperature of millions of degrees". I remembered that all through my life and even used it during high school. It's a great way for kids to learn as well as expand their musical tastes past Britiney Spears and such. A+!
