Have you seen a VeggieTales video? If so, you'll love this collection of songs from the latter videos. If you've never before seen VeggieTales you'll appreciate this overview of the series' music, graphics, and messages.

In this second collection of songs we find Larry depressed because his "Silly Songs with Larry" have been cancelled. Flashbacks lead us through such silly songs as "The Song of the Cebu" and "The Stuff-Mart Rap" to show us how Larry's troubles began.

"The Cheeseburger Song" alone had me practically rolling on the floor with laughter. Mr. Lunt sings...

"And if the world suddenly ran out of cheese, I would get down on my hands and knees, and scrape it off for you, scrape it off for you, scrape that dirty cheese off just for Youuuu. My precious cheeseburger."

Most of these songs simply cannot be explained; they must be experienced. As silly as they are, days later you will find yourself inexplicably singing these songs.

This collection also includes one song that you won't see anywhere else. This video is laugh-out-loud fun for the whole family.

Larry the Cucumber is drowning out his sorrows at Jimmy Gourd's ice cream parlor. Why? Because Archibald Asparagus has canceled "Silly Songs with Larry", the part of VeggieTales where 'Larry the Cucumber sings a silly song'! As we learn this story of how this happens, we get to listen and sing-along with a collection of songs which Jimmy plays to cheer up Larry. The songs include "The Song of the Cebu", "Promised Land", "Good Morning George", "The Thankfulness Song", "Keep Walking!", "Big Things, Too", "Stuff Mart Rap", "His Cheeseburger", and "The Yodeling Veterinarian of the Alps". Will Jimmy be able to get Larry back on his feet (if he has any)? Will Archibald forgive Larry? Will Larry get to sing his silly songs again, or is this... the end of silliness?

The songs were fun, the story was interesting, the characters were funny... yet I didn't get such a kick out of it as I do in "The Ultimate Silly Songs Countdown". The best songs were "Keep Walking!" (sung hilariously by the French Peas), "Promised Land" ('We're going to the Promised Land!'), "Big Things, Too" (a nice jazzy song), and "Stuff-Mart Rap" ('Bungee, Bungee, Bungee-wungey-fun-gey'). Maybe I liked "The Ultimate Silly Songs Countdown" better because it had really Larry's Silly Songs while this tape has only three Silly Songs. Oh, well, I still love watching Larry mope at the ice-cream parlor! I love it how he beats his head on the table! Also seeing Larry and Archibald make faces at each other was so funny! Archibald's glowing speech was pretty great, too (except it ends sort of abruptly).

If you liked this VeggieTale, don't miss out on "King George and the Ducky", "Larry-Boy and the Fib from Outer Space", and as I've mentioned numerous times, "The Ultimate Silly Songs Countdown", the three VeggieTales videos which are my favorites.

Would give it six stars if I could. Thanks to BigIdea for having a Big Idea and finding a creative way to share it with all ages.

This was the first Veggie Tales video that my daughter and I have seen. I didn't know what to expect, except that I'd heard the series was "Christian Light". Upon watching the video, my concerns melted away. The "Song of the Cebu" had me almost rolling on the floor laughing, especially the part with the mute Cebu. I found myself watching this video a few days ago... without my daughter. It's just that cute.
Now that I've had the pleasure of seeing this, I plan to buy a whole bunch more Veggie Tales videos. What a fun series, and what a great message it teaches kids!

This Veggie tales video was the first one that I ever saw. My daughter absolutely loves it and guess what? I can't stop singing the song of the cebu. Sometimes it catches me off guard!
Great movie and great songs! Definately recommend.

This is the best silly-song collection they have made. They put many great, toe-tapping songs on it. It is also really funny to have it set in a soda shop, with Larry drowning his woes, after being fired from silly-songs, in ice cream sodas. He tells his story to the soda shop employee, who tries to help him. Very, Very funny, with a good ending and a new silly song.

We got this one from the Library and only watched it once. There are just too many repeated songs in it from the Silly Song countdown to hold a child's attention that long. I really wish that they would have gone more into the storyline of Archibald cancelling the silly songs. It's hard to explain all that to a three-year-old - the plot really isn't that well explained. They missed a great opportunity for a really funny video. It just wasn't as developed as the rest of their videos have been. Still, it's definitely a better bet than buying some of the other stuff out there for kids. I love the values and the Christian theme that they teach and hope for more.

My 5 year old son loves this video, as do my wife and I. Just about every song is fun to sing along with (or attempt, anyway), and the animation is superb. I don't consider my family to be particularly "religous", so don't shy away from this video (or the entire series) if you're concerned about the "God" aspect. [....] Yes, the videos convey Christian beliefs and story lines, but I don't think your children are in danger of being converted by watching them. I highly recommend this series to any family looking for quality (video) entertainment for their children. Also, most of these videos are 30 minutes or less - much more tolerable than a 1.5 hour disney film over and over and over again!

I first saw this video was I was in fourth grade and I loved it. I am 16 now and I still love it. I am not religious, in fact I've never been in a church, but that doesn't mean that I can't enjoy these silly songs. They are entertaining for people of all religions, and even all ages! These songs get stuck in your head, but that's not a bad thing because they'll make you happy whenever you hum them. This video includes songs like "Keep Walking", "Song of the Cebu", and others. I have some of these songs on my iTunes and I even know people who are older than me that also have these songs. This video is creative and funny so if you give it a chance I think you will like it.

Me and my family recently became involved with VeggieTales from a Kid place at my mother's church. My year-younger brother and I watched the first Silly Song tape, and LOVED it! So my mom took us to Sam's Club and we each got to pick out a video--- one was this!!I absolutely adore this beacause there are two songs which are REALLY funny! They're called "The Song of the Cebu" and "The Yodeling Veterinarian of the Alps" They are both songs sung by Larry, the cucumber. I think this sing-along is good to the last drop ^_^
