5.0 out of 5 stars "Grab You Root Beer" and Enjoy This Soundtrack, January 16, 2008

By	Mark Baker (Santa Clarita, CA United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

One of the highlights of each VeggieTales episode is the songs. So, while I don't normally buy movie soundtracks, I made an exception for this disc. And it's a great combination of fun songs and instrumental pieces.

The first half of the disc is made up of songs with lyrics. They're about half and half Veggie and Christian artists. We've got "Spanish Gold," the song from the dinner theater show and "Jolly Joe's" from the pirate hangout they visit. If you sat through the credits, you found the video for "Rock Monster," a spoof on "Rock Lobster" that tells part of the story. You'll be glad to know it is here as well.

My favorite track on here is "Yo Ho Hero," the song sung by Steve Taylor and the Newsboys. The song was actually used during the movie, and I find it fun. It makes fun of how lazy our heroes are. I'm not normally a fan of tobyMac, but I do like his contribution, "What we Gonna Do?" It's still got the hip hop feel he's known for, but it isn't so over the top it annoys me. Finally, there's Mandisa's song "The Right Thing." Best I can tell, it was never in the film, which is a shame because it is a great summary of the message of the film.

Now if you thought this soundtrack wouldn't have "The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything," you were dead wrong. We get two versions of it here, the classic Silly Song version that started it all, and the Reliant K punked up version done for Jonah.

Speaking of Jonah, the include "Second Chances" from that soundtrack as a bonus song.

The second half of the disc is made up of instrumental pieces. They usually include a line or two of dialog surrounded by several minutes of full orchestra. This stuff is beautiful.

And this is an enhanced CD, which means there are three videos you can find on your computer. There's the silly song version of "Pirates Who Don't Do Anything" and "Do the Moo Shoo." Finally, they give us the video they made for "Rock Monster" which is half the fun of the song.

All told, this is a fun soundtrack that will make fans of the Veggies very happy.

I bought this CD at my husbands request. I am so glad I did! My son, daughter and I listen to this cd at least once a day, sometimes twice.
The songs are alot of fun. We would defenitely recommend this cd to anyone, whether they have seen the movie or not.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kids love it, and ME TOO!, February 21, 2009

I am listening to it as I type this review. This is a real fun combination of music, and not cheezy at all. My little girl just loves the Veggietales products, and she gets a Good News message from a variety of christian musical artist. No smirfs or tellitubbies enter this house; and we don't have time to open ourselves up to godless entites. I suggest getting the DVD with this soundtrack also.
