5.0 out of 5 stars Veggie-rific, December 14, 2002

This review is from: Veggie Tales: Veggie Tunes (Audio CD)

My children received this CD as a Hanukkah gift. What a wonderful gift it was! They love the music with it's catchy tunes and sometimes hilarious lyrics and I love the message that it sends. I originally thought that Veggie Tales was not appropriate for my family since we are Jewish and Veggie Tales are Christian-based. I now realize I was wrong. Yes, they are based on Christianity and some videos may mention Jesus, but the basic message is one about being a good person and respecting God's word. There is nothing on this CD which is specifically Christian, just Judeo-Christian in the sense that there is one God.

Who can resist such Monty Python-ish tunes as "Where's My Hairbrush" in which the cucumber is distressed about his missing hairbrush only to find out that it was given to the peach because, well because he HAS hair. And "We are the Grapes of Wrath" (who never take a bath) is one of my personal favorites. My kids (ages 2 & 4.5) really love tracks 4-8 about Daniel in the Lion's Den. My 4-year-old makes up verses about what's going to happen to Daniel.

Any child and parent would be pleased with this CD unless they are atheists or believe in more than one God.

5.0 out of 5 stars A hoot with lessons to boot!, April 2, 2003

My preschool-aged children and I love this CD. We listen to it every day in the car. As each song starts, one of my kids shouts "This is my favorite!" (They have lots of favorites.) The songs are so catchy that my kids sing the songs when the CD isn't even on. Larry's silly songs are hilarious -- the water buffalo song and the hairbrush song.

I do wonder how the presumably adult singers get their voices to sound like that. Each singing character has perfect intonation for what they're trying to convey -- from the mean wise men who got Daniel in trouble to Junior Asparagus who asks "Why do you need a hairbrush? You don't have any hair."

Let me put it this way: I'm 36 years old, and I find myself smiling and singing along. It's a hoot!

Not only is Veggietales a great show/movie but the songs rock! They are good for everyone. I'm 16 and i like them. They are good songs with good/funny lyrics and they are very catchy! This album in particular has some great songs on it, the old classic Veggietales!
