If you've never tuned in to Radio Disney, you're probably living with yaks someplace on a mountainside. The kids' radio station grownups love to dislike, even while allowing it to play in the car and house (and inside their minds), relies heavily on an extremely tight play list. It's not true that Britney Spears, the Backstreet Boys, and Christina Aguilera secretly own the station; it just seems that they do, given all the spins they get. Radio Disney Jams, Vol. 2 picks up where last hour's programming left off, with some modified lyrics from Lou Bega on "Disney Mambo No. 5," substituting the name of leading Disney cartoon characters for the women he fancies in his original mambo superhit. Of course, there's Weird Al Yankovic spoofing Star Wars and "American Pie" (not the Madonna version) with "The Saga Begins." Queen's "We Will Rock You" and "We Are the Champions" are two eminently familiar anthems, thanks in part to their crossing over into every imaginable sport from hockey to bowling. Will Smith, Stevie Wonder, and 98 Degrees are all here. And those disco diehards, the Village People and Sister Sledge, will remind older parents how long ago the '70s really were. New artists, including Steps, Jason Raize, and Aaron Carter also fill out this 18-track tribute to the power of Disney brandcasting. --Martin Keller

4.0 out of 5 stars Lots of Dancin' Fun, March 3, 2000

By A Customer

I saw the video for "Disney Mambo # 5" on the Disney channel and knew I wanted this tape for preschool dance classes I teach. The lyrics are cleaned up from the pop radio version and includes references to well known popular Disney cartoon characters. "Boom Da Boom" is another lively danceable song that has a teen beat to it with lyrics appropriate for preschoolers. Preteens and teens will love the songs by Back Street Boys, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilero and Will Smith.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good variety of songs for any age!, May 26, 2001

By	Rebecca (Massachusetts, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Radio Disney Jams Vol. 2 (Audio CD)

Radio Disney is probably the best radio station out there for all ages (heck - I'm 17 years old and I listen to Radio Disney!). And Radio Disney's Jams Vol. 2 is a great collection full of some of the best songs Radio Disney plays. My favorites are "I'll Never Break Your Heart" (I just love the Backstreet Boys!), "Soda Pop", "I'll Be Your Everything", "We Will Rock You", "We Are The Champions", "Reflection", "Just The Two Of Us", "True To Your Heart", "We Are Family", "Y.M.C.A.", "One For Sorrow", "Girl You Shine", and "Lovin' You Lovin' Me". However, the "Mamba Number 5" song you hear on this CD is not the real version of the song - - it's just been edited and changed around so it would be more appropriate for the kids to listen to. And the real version, I have to say, is much better than this Radio Disney version. As you could tell, I enjoyed the majority of the songs. Of course, like most CD complications, there were songs I disliked and thought were kind of cheesy (at least to me; after all, I AM a teenager). But for the most part, a perfectly harmless CD that anybody could listen to. This is a CD where you can listen with your children and you do not have to worry about covering their ears when they hear something negative or inappropriate. You don't even have to skip any tracks! A fun CD that not only kids will enjoy, but parents and teenagers as well. Also check out the first volume in this series and the third volume!
