EAN: 0081227531126 Label: Music Little People Manufacturer: Music Little People Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Music Little People Release Date: April 21, 1998 Studio: Music Little People Editorial Review: Amazon.com: When your brood's in a mood, tell 'em (as Duke Ellington surely would've) it don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing. Maria Muldaur's Swingin' in the Rain is just the ticket to perk things up and get those kiddos shuffling off to Buffalo rather than to the time-out corner! With a generous helping of horns, along with guitar, bass, and keyboards, Muldaur puts her sweet and lively spin on swing with revamped renditions of yesteryear's pop. "Aba Daba Honeymoon" is a zingy little number sure to get the gang singing along between giggles and "If I Knew You Were Comin' I'd've Baked a Cake" is pleasantly sassy. "Animal Fair" is a welcome inclusion sandwiched by the nonsensical "Mairzy Doats" and "A Bushel and a Peck," a tune for tuning up the old shuffle-ball-change and waltz-clock combinations. --Paige La Grone Average Rating:
 Rating:  - You'll be dancing along with this throwback.I bought this album for the song "A you're Adorable" and was pleasantly surprised by all of the other songs that I remember hearing as a child ("Jeepers Creepers" and "A Bushel and a Peck"). My daugher always wants me to pick her up to dance when these songs come on our playlist. This CD links today's kids to the former generations with timeless music. This would be a great nostalgic gift to/from a grandparent to enjoy with their grandchild. I don't think Maria Muldaur has the greatest voice, ...

While the program was clearly targeted at kids, the wit and double-entendre of much of the content made it immensely enjoyable to me as an adult. As a consequence, we watched it together because we BOTH enjoyed it. As a therapist often working with families, I frequently am on the lookout for activities that the parents can do together with the kids - not just because it seems like a good idea to spend ...

We have lots of fun singing and listening to this music together! Rating: - Mama... I want to hear SWING!!!!My toddler love, love, LOVES this CD!!!! It's been on (almost) constant rotation since we got it 5 days ago. It's the 1st thing he asks, er, demands to listen to in the morning. Thankfully, the music & singing are top-notch, as are the songs chosen. The songs are cute, sweet, and easy to sing & dance along to. As a former swing dance instructor, it was important to me to find a good CD of swing music for kids with excellent musicianship & one that didn't "water down" the music. This CD is excellent for ...

If you are old-you'll be reminded of singer Red McKenzie and his Mound City Blowers [Benny Goodmans little group recording under s a different name, or if young you can relate to the Sqirrel Nut Zippers. So...put on your Raccoon coat and get ready to Charleston. 23 Skidoo and cat's meow, vo vo dee oh doe and oh you kid! |
