I'm a huge Lawrence Welk fan and was somewhat apprehensive upon ordering this cd. I did not want in anyway the delightful sounds of Lawrence Welk to be comprimised. But to my surprise, techno music incorporated with the Bubbly Sounds takes Lawrence Welk to a higher level.

Who ever thought that Lawrence Welk could be anything but "old school cool?" With a revamped and remixed image from some of the best DJ's around Lawrence Welk has been re-invented and club kids and hipsters allover will soon be sipping champagnes and grooving to Lawrence Welk. With songs like "You are My Sunshine" and "Baby Elephant Walk" backed by thumping beats and mellow grooves like "Caravan" this album would be a perfect fit at any trendy club or trendy lounge type bar. It is best listened to the whole way through because the album is so wonderfully constructed song by song it takes you on a journey that comes full circle. All in all an fabulously fun and clever album.

It's the most amazing thing I've heard since Erasure and the Pet Shop Boys!!!! Who would have believed that the bubbling sounds of the Welk orchestra would sail into the new century with a hit CD playing in dance bars, cocktail lounges and livng rooms? I've always enjoyed Welk. I was a kid when CALCUTTA, YELLOW BIRD, RUNAWAY, MY THREE SONS, LAST DATE, SCARLETT O'HARA and BABY ELEPHANT WALK were in the Billboard charts....being played on Top 40 stations. In fact, BABY ELEPHANT WALK was No. 1 in Oklahoma City and 50,000 watt Top 40 giant KOMA played the number 1 song for 24 hours straight 1 day per week. Those recordings were not even close to "Champagne Music" or "Ah 1 and Ah 2".
BABY ELEPHANT WALK was my favorite Lawrence Welk single and to hear it in two different remixes on this CD is a real treat.
The biggest surprise was Guy and Ralna's recording of YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE. Imagine Jimmy Davis in his heavenly home looking down on dancers stomping to his signature tune.
You don't even have to have heard of Lawrence Welk to love this cd!
One of 2004's best releases.
