Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

There's Larry, drowning his sorrows at the corner soda shop. So opens this zippy 30-minute collection of songs from the VeggieTales series. Larry is, of course, Larry the Cucumber, and his trouble is that he has lost his precious "Silly Songs with Larry" segment that has been a mainstay of the series. Through flashbacks, we see where his troubles started ("The Song of the Cebu") and other songs from the series, including "Promised Land," "The Thankfulness Song," "His Cheeseburger," and the "Stuff-Mart Rap." Fans of the Christian-lite series that practices "Sunday morning values, Saturday morning fun" will want to add this to their collection. Newbies to VeggieTales will find this and the earlier volume of songs (Very Silly Songs) a great way to survey the series since the music is one of the strongest elements. The wacky lyrics appear onscreen so you can have your own sing-along at home. Of course, everything turns right in the end, including Larry's latest song (only available here), "The Yodeling Veterinarian of the Alps." --Doug Thomas

5.0 out of 5 stars Unquestionably the BEST VeggieTales video., May 2, 2000

By	Tim Drake "Author and Journalist" (Saint Joseph, Minnesota) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as "The Ultimate Silly Songs Countdown"., April 8, 2002

By	Priscilla Stafford (Yokohama, Japan) - See all my reviews

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.
