Barney's Greatest Hits

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Say what you will about the purple one--he's overly friendly, he's generally tiresome--but toddlers and preschoolers can't get enough of him. Legions of youngsters will delight in Barney's Greatest Hits, a 25-track compendium of the playful dinosaur's best-loved tunes. Watchers of the phenomenally popular TV show won't find anything unfamiliar here. Included are many Barney originals, including "If All the Raindrops"; "Peanut Butter"; "BJ's Song"; "My Yellow Blankie"; "There Are Seven Days"; the "Yankee Doodle Dandy"-inspired theme song; and, of course, "I Love You," the show's warm and fuzzy closing number. Barney also puts his happy-go-lucky spin on a handful of traditional songs, including "Pop Goes the Weasel," "John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt," "The Wheels on the Bus," and "Itsy Bitsy Spider." There's no denying this record's exceptionally high burn factor where grownups are concerned, but those merciful enough to endure a rash of repeat listens may reap behavioral benefits. Songs such as "Please and Thank You," a reinforcement of the power of the magic words, and "The Friendship Song," a gently persuasive track preaching that kindness is king (especially among playmates), have a Lego-like way of connecting with very young kids. They non-confrontationally encourage young listeners to add to their repertoire of praiseworthy habits, no nagging required. For focused caregivers, such a reward takes the sting out of these almost unbearably syrupy songs. In fact, only those whose threshold for corny kids stuff is seriously low ought to be excused from sucking it up and brightening a little kid's day with a spin or two of "Barney's Greatest Hits." --Tammy La Gorce

2 out of 5 stars Not at all what the cover said.......2007-03-28

I purchased this CD for my daughter (20 months old) who loves Barney.
I got this CD instead of the other Barney CD's because it said that it had the opening song and the "I Love You" song. Which is what Barney is mainly known for, those two songs and I couldnt Find another Barney CD that had both of those songs on one CD.
Anyways, i got the CD, read the back to see the tracks, played it..
And the first song was what the CD cover told me it would be, but from the second song onwards, the songs did not match the CD cover, there was no song at all that matched up. It didnt even have the "I Love You" song at the end! I was extreamly anoyed, My daughter loves the I Love You song, she sings it, she asks for it in the car.. but i cant play the one song that she loves most.
I dont know if it is just my CD, but i would asume that it would be every CD that was sold.. of this particular Barney Album
So yes, my rating is low, but the songs are still good. Im just upset that i cant play the one song my daughter can sing to and loves the most.

5 out of 5 stars Kicking it Old School with B to the D!.......2007-02-12

Awwww Snap! No you didn't! No you didn't! Aww heck yeah, it's my boy MC B to the D kicking it old school with all his greatest hits!

Barney lays down some outstanding tracks here with his signature theme, classic covers like John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt (his name just happens to be my name too, yo!), remixes like Pop Goes the Weasel and traditional standards like Do Your Ears Hang Low? & Its Bitsy Spider.

I'm telling you yo, it doesn't get any better than this disc. I think this stuff's da bomb, and my kids dig it as well. You can have your Teletubbies, Wiggles, Cheetah Girls..take 'em. Just give me some old school Barney, and me & my boys will kick it old school. Know what I'm saying?


5 out of 5 stars Speechless..so dark and cold.......2007-01-12

This is 'the' CD to own. If you like Burzum, Darkthrone, Mayhem, or Immortal you will absolutely love this. This is the blackest of the black. Kvlt black metal for corpse paint commandos only. Too bad this band broke up, they had so much potential. I can't even describe this. It captures the emotion of isolation perfectly.

5 out of 5 stars Pure skull shattering Norwegian black metal.......2006-04-21

I came across this gem in a local mom and pop CD store while looking for some good black metal. The bored looking guy behind the desk told me to look no further than this masterpiece, so I bought it. I love the sleeve art, very primitive, yet pure black metal. And the music? Let's not get me started. Alright, I'm started. From the opening gargling-razors roar of "Barney Theme Song" to the moody, atmospheric synths of "Apples And Bananas," this disk delivers on all war-torn fronts. I played "Sally The Camel" for my friend Jeff in the car one day, and he raised his horns in the air and announced allegiance to the Barney underground.

Highly recommended for fans of later Bathory and Graveworm!

I own the Hollywood Bowl Gershwin CD and I love it. I was surprised by it. Play the samples if you can but the singing and sound are clear and crisp and you can understand every word.

5 out of 5 stars Super CD!.......2000-11-26

We bought this CD for my 15 month old who has just become a Barney Fan. She loves it. Its probably also good for 2-4 year olds also. We play it in the car, at bedtime and just to dance around the house. It has 25 songs , so it goes for a while. The songs are all classics , so you can enjoy them even if you don't watch Barney.

  1. Best of Elmo
  2. Big Fun
  3. Birds, Beasts, Bugs & Fishes Little & Big: Animal Folk Songs [Original recording remastered]
  4. Bob the Builder: The Album
