I read the reviews about how certain customers were shocked to find out that "On the Road Again" was on this CD, and they were wishing Big Idea would put "songs with cleaner lyrics" on their CD's. Having never heard the song all the way through, I hunted down the lyrics.

Know what? There's not one bad word, one sexual reverence, or even a jab at anyone's religion. It's just saying "We're best friends, we're on the road, and we're going to sing the whole way". Basically.

Please, people. Big Idea is run by parents. Mike (voice of Larry) wouldn't sing something on a CD that he wouldn't want his six-year-old daughter hearing, much less your children. On the newer DVD's (Duke and the Pie War, Little Joe, etc..), there's this mini-commercial of Mike's daughter (from the commercial at the start of King George and the Ducky VHS), and then you see "Why we do what we do". Now, does that sound like a comapany who would put dirty songs on children's CD's?

This CD is awesome - filled with lots of fun travelling tunes & uplifting religious songs in classic Veggie Style! The CD is humorous and entertaining, great fun to sing along to, and keeps all of my children [9mos, 2.5 yrs, and 5 yrs]happily singing and be-bopping along despite stop and go traffic and long car trips. My children all love this CD [so do I] and I am so happy we bought it!

My 15 month old daughter doesn't always like to ride in the car, but we all relax when this cd starts playing. It isn't one of those really annoying kiddie cd's either - even my husband and I have a few chuckles while listening to it. We also like the messages that are embedded in the songs, like "Stop and go with Mercy". Excellent price, too!

We bought this CD for a six-hour trip, through the King Ranch and up to Grandma's house, and it was great for both my 7-year old and the 2-year old. The arrangements are so full of interesting little aural flourishes, bells, whistles, etc., they really kept the kids' attention. It was also fun to hear the Veggies' rendition of songs I've known since I was a kid, combined with some very good originals. A super buy for the price.

Great fare for around town driving . . . this collection of kids' songs is cute in the typical Veggie format, including a retro-60's version of "Ease On Down the Road" (my personal favorite). Of course, like all childrens' music, it gets old after 38 repeitions, but if I have to "pick my poison", this CD is definitely it!

This is a fun CD to play in the car. My son just loves it.

This CD is a lot of fun to listen to for the entire family. The songs are all fun and the dialogue in between the songs are clever and use a lot of things kids say while traveling. This brings out great laughs from my kids, and I even found myself smiling at a lot of the puns and silly jokes.

It's a great CD to listen to when on a long trip, or just a jaunt around town. The price can't be beat, either.

My kids and I all recommend this CD.

My daughter loves to listen to the Veggie Tales. We bought 5 Fun Songs first and then this one. She sings along with them, as do myself and her father. This CD made my husband and I crack up.

Let me qualify this review by saying that I don't really care for the Veggie Tales (for religious reasons). So when my friend bought this CD for my boys for Christmas I wasn't very thrilled.

I must admit now that I do enjoy this CD. There aren't any of the softened up bible stories they have in their videos, just fun kids songs and funny dialogue between the songs.

The dialogue, in particular, parents will enjoy. All typical things kids say while driving in the car.

Excellent service and quality. Exactly as described and received in a timely matter at a great price!
