Sing, dance and laugh along as your Sesame Street friends phone in their favorite music video requests: Bert digs "It’s Hip To Be Square."

You’ll also get Grover’s "Monster In The Mirror," "Rock ‘N’ Roll Readers" by Chrissy and the Alphabeats and many, many more. Kids from 1 to 91 will love the sizzling sounds of Sesame Street’s Rock & Roll!

5.0 out of 5 stars My kids love it, and so do I, January 4, 2002

This review is from: Sesame Street Songs - Rock and Roll! [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The songs on this video are excellent kids versions of
cool rock songs. They did a great job rendering them
for little ears - so much so that I find myself humming
the tunes myself after watching the video with the kids.
And of course, everything is visually engaging in true
Sesame Street fashion.

This review is from: Sesame Street - Rock and Roll! (DVD)

Years ago, when our oldest daughter was about two, we had three SS videos...Sleepytime Songs and Stories, Monster Hits and this one, Rock and Roll. We had Monster Hits and this one in a two pack. We wore those videos out! All three of them are so good, and I have managed to find the other two on dvd and Rock and Roll was all I needed to complete our collection so that our two little ones could have them. I have to admit though, that we, the parents, were very anxious to have this one again. It is so cute and features some great songs, and lots of great characters. The host of the radio show is a wolf, and our daughter simply loves this because she thinks it is a dog. The songs are very catchy and it is just a fun dvd for your collection. The three dvds I mentioned are very sentimental to me because they bring back memories of our first experience as parents and I am so tickled to have them again. Try this one, and try the others too. You'll love it! Your child probably will too :-)

4.0 out of 5 stars The Search Is Over!, May 7, 2005

This review is from: Sesame Street - Rock and Roll! (DVD)

I'm giving the DVD 4 stars for its inclusion of the song, "You're Alive"! I happen to feel that it's worth the price of the whole DVD to have this particular song. However, the other songs on the DVD aren't quite as stellar. As with most of the Sesame Street videos, there are one or two really good bits and then a lot of filler. My 4 1/2 year old enjoys the rock and roll music that is all about things he's learning about in school right now. Adults will also enjoy the Mick Jagger-like muppet from the "Cobble Stones". The only major disappointment is that although The Count appears on the box and on the main menu dressed in his Elvis costume, the Count clip that is included is rather lackluster and the Elvis costume is nowhere to be seen.
