Looking for silly song collections on DVD? Then you've come to the right place. This set collections all three silly song collections plus a new fourth disc.

Disc one is the original. "Very Silly Songs" collects music from their first few videos. It includes words down at the bottom so you can sing along with such hits as "Dance of the Cucumber," "God is Bigger," "The Water Buffalo Song," and "The New, Improved Bunny Song." Along the way, Larry introduces the first ever VeggieTales workout, home improvement, and success videos. This is also our first meeting with "The Pirates who don't do Anything."

Disc two is the second sing-a-long video. "The End of Silliness!?!" finds Larry despondent in a diner mourning the loss of the "Silly Songs with Larry segments. Along the way, we get to hear such classics as "Stuffmart Rap," "Cheeseburger Song," "Song of the Cebu," "and "Promised Land."

The third disc in this set is "The Ultimate Silly Song Countdown." The only part to be previously released on DVD, this show counts down the first ten silly songs according to fan votes. What will be the number one song?

The final disc is all new. This disc is a silly song jukebox. With 35 songs to choose from, you can select the songs and the order they play in. Or you can let the machine choose at random. Either way, sit back and relax to some silly music and video. Included on this disc are classics from the first videos and new songs like "Hope's Song," "Sport Utility Vehicle," "Bellybutton Song," and "Schoolhouse Polka."

Granted, the last two discs have lots of overlap from the first two. But depending on what you want to see, it's not that bad. And for the price per disc, you really can't complain. The only song collection missing is one they released to promote Jonah.

Each of the first three discs have audio commentaries, behind the scenes interviews, games, how to draw segments, and more fun.

If you love your veggie songs, silly and other wise, this set is for you. You'll be singing and laughing for hours at the silliness while learning some Biblical truths in the process.

Of the 4 discs in this set, 3 of them have been released before (although two were previously only available on VHS). The songs are all great, as usual, although many clips are repeated throughout the collection.

The only 'new' disc in this set is the Veg-o-rama Jukebox, and I expect it's only in this set because anyone who purchased it separately would have returned it in utter frustration. For one thing, I don't believe there are any songs on this disc that aren't already covered on the three other discs in the collection. But the main problem here is its interface.

In order to play any songs on this disc, you have to navigate through a virtual jukebox interface, flipping through many pages of songs, selecting the ones you want to hear, and then picking "Play selections." If you don't choose any songs, it doesn't do anything. There is no auto-play. There IS an option to play all the songs in random order, but you have to flip through every page on the disc to get to it (of course it's not on the front page), and you have to navigate up-right-right through every single page in order to do that. So basically it takes about 2 minutes and 25-30 button presses just to be able to play all these songs you've already seen in random order. This is very lame, and my two year old gets very impatient when I'm trying to do this for him. He's actually capable of playing the other DVDs on his own... but he gets almost instantly frustrated with this one.

My advice: Get the collection and just leave the jukebox disc back in the box. You'll be glad you did.

Hey, what else will they come up with? Hey, I gotta tell you, my daughter, as well as my wife and I, are pretty big fans of "Silly Songs with Larry: The part of the show where Larry comes out and sings... a silly song." Consider this 4 DVD box set a collection. It comes with special features and everything! So if you want to know about how they came up with "Song of the Cebu", there's a story behind it! I mentioned there are 4 DVDs. They will be listed below.

Very Silly Songs!: Consider this for what the title reads, ok? And consider that Larry will be quite Larry-like... meaning Larry will be his regular silly self, and then some! Lots of good stuff on this, and PLENTY of songs to keep the goofiness going for quite some time.

The End of Silliness!?!: Can you believe it when you read the terrible title?! NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Is Archibald Aspargagus really attempting to take away Larry's silly songs? What's the deal with that "Cheeseburger" song anyway? Oh boy! Poor Larry, he really doesn't look too good in that diner. But just so you know, there ARE some silly songs. This has the breath-taking ending, and to a kid, it'll leave their little hearts pounding for hours to come!

The Ultimate Silly Song Countdown: Here we have 3 special hosts from #10 to #1 in Silly Songs! We got this for Riley when she was only a few months old, NOW WE'RE ALL FANATICS FOR VEGGIE TALES!!!!! This is a lot of fun, and you'll be sure to watch it over and over.

Veg-O-Rama Jukebox: This is new and basically gives you and your special kiddo the choice of what songs they want to watch. Some might think this a little time consuming, so it probably isn't for everyone, but it comes with the package. We had a lot of fun with it.

I feel that the purpose of Silly Songs for EVERYBODY is this. You never get too old to have a little bit of fun from time to time. When you read in The Bible what Jesus had to say concerning children, then you MIGHT just say that these Silly Songs have a purpose! This is a great time. Have fun with it! God bless!

This one of the best veggie tales movies ever. the only downside is that many of the songs are on the DVDs more than once. on the vegorama jukebox you just pick the songs you want to watch and it will play them in that order.

The movies are great, my son who just turned one loves them, and two of the disks are great. The third disk is a "jukebox" where you have to click each individual song that you want to play, and you can only choose one at a time. This requires someone old enough to operate the remote, you can not just put the disk in and allow your child to watch it while you clean house or something.

great deal, great movies.

The music and videos are funny and well done. I've been accused of buying this for myself and not my daughter. That may be true. We find ourselves singing these songs together and making up our own words.
We love it.

I heard my husband laughing as he was watching this DVD with my one and a half year old son. Both enjoy it!

The music and songs are our favorite part of Veggie Tales. If you're not familiar with V.T. this song collection is a great introduction. It's simply good music for kids and I find adults love the tunes too. I got my kids started with silly songs before their attention spans could follow the plots of the veggie movies. My only complaint, if you can even call it that, is that this is such a comprhensive collection I don't know if we will ever have time to listen to all of the discs. But we'll have fun trying!

Not only is this my kids' favorite movie now, it is something my husband and i enjoy a ton! Well worth the money and the lessons that come with it are great too!

My 18 month old absolutely loves the Veggie Tales songs/videos. I would recommend this DVD to any parent who has a child that loves to dance!
