Sample lyric from "I'm Proud To Be a Cow", written in the style of an old English music hall number: I'm proud to have an udder/ like my father / No - my mother. I think this is very funny, even after my two year old (who certainly doesn't get the joke) asks to here the "Cow Song" for the tenth time in one afternoon. Like all of the best Sesame Street humor, these songs work on two levels -- one for little kids, and one for their parents.

My 2 year old grandson loves to listen to music in the car, and LOVES Sesame Street, so I purchased this CD for his parents, and one for me too. The songs are so cute, funny, easy to understand, and educational. There are 2 songs that my grandson laughs out loud to: "Oh, Look What Our Baby Can Do" and "Everything in the Wrong Place Ball". The characters voices are easy to recognize and the variety of songs make it a DEFINITE MUST HAVE purchase! Even grandma laughs along....

Sesame Street's Silly Songs CD opens with Ernie and friends singing "The Honker-Duckie-Dinger Jamboree" and ends with Grover singing "Monster In The Mirror." In between, you hear "The Batty Bat," "I'm Proud To Be A Cow," "Love in the Junkyard," plus ten other entertaining songs for children of all ages. Older kids will enjoy singing along with their favorite Sesame Street characters from the television show and movies. Both my one-year old son and I have been entertained for hours listening to this CD. He loves the funny sounds. "Oh, Look What Our Baby Can Do" has many realistic baby noises, mostly centered on the process of expelling gas from either end of the baby. I like the catchy tunes and educational messages. "The Boogie-Woogie Piggies" teaches kids their ABCs to a swinging boogie-woogie beat. In addition, "Captain Vegetable" encourages kids to eat their veggies, and "Keep The Park Clean For The Pigeons" teaches kids to use trashcans, or even their pockets, to discard trash. This CD is a ton of fun and comes highly recommended by our family.

My daughter is 10 months old and in love with sesame street. She can sometimes get restless in the car - sometimes screaming to where she gets herself sick! i put this CD on and it distracts her - she loves the sesame street characters. She listens and it does the trick!

A fun CD that your kids will enjoy and you will be able to tolerate hearing ad nauseum. I admit that I could go the rest of my life without hearing a couple of the songs again, but most of them are catchy little tunes that you don't mind having stuck in your head.

We love these songs so much (except for "Hole in the Bottom of the Sea" -skip over that one) that we will spontaneously burst into them for no reason and everyone joins in. My kids are 10 & 13 and still love to play it in the car. They just put a smile on your face. Very well produced. Love Oscar's solo in "Junkyard". Grandmother's favorite is "Elevator Operator". Kids love "Captain Vegetable". Wife loves "Proud to be a Cow". Ha! Our family fave is "This one is for the Birds". Enjoy!

These are great songs. My 1-yr-old loves to dance and likes it when Mom sings along.

This is one of the kids favorite CD's to play in the car. They just listened to it for our 2 hour trip up north and didn't complain at all. My husband and I don't mind the music either - it is kind of catchy!

My daughter is a little too young yet to appreciate the clever lyrics on this CD (she's 9 months), but she will certainly sing along joyfully soon. She already lights up when the first song comes on, and we start dancing. The song on this CD are so catchy, goofy, and clever that I find myself singing them on my own when I'm not even with my daughter. I love Grover's hilarious rendition of "There's a Hole in the Bottom of the Sea", the wacky "Everything in the Wrong Place Ball", and the sweet "Look What our Baby Can Do". I love this collection of songs, and I know my daughter will very soon, too!

These songs are, like the best of Sesame Street, funny for kids and fun for adults too. There are a variety of musical styles, from Polka ("Transylvania Polka") to Andrews-sisters Boogie ("Boogie Woogie Piggies") to Waltz ("Batty Bat"). My 4 year old loves hearing "There's a Hole in the Bottom of the Sea" sung by a harried Grover, and he also loves the bird sounds on "This Song is for the Birds" - sung with an East Coast accent. My 6 and 9 year olds still enjoy "Captain Vegetable" which is in the style of an old-time TV show about superheroes. I think my favorite is "Monster in the Mirror", which has a bass line that reminds me of the Munsters, and talks about how kids shouldn't be afraid of seeing their reflection in the mirror.

You will find yourself singing all these songs to yourself!
