Born to Add (Blister)

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com essential recording
Little children love a rock & roll beat. The strong, clear rock rhythm is irresistible to toddlers and preschoolers who can clap, bounce, and wiggle with abandon to the rousing tunes. Though Born to Add is an educational album, it is set to a rock theme that will have tots shaking their booty around the living room. Be it the Springsteen-inspired title cut and "Barn in the U.S.A." or "(I Can't Get No) Cooperation" by Mick Swagger and the Sesame Street Cobble Stones, kids will enjoy the cool tunes so much, they won't even realize how much they're learning. --Deborah Moore

Great Tracks.......2006-10-27

My daughter is autistic and loves this cd. She listens to it every night before bed. She took a while to warm up to the music. We own the Rock and Roll DVD and she recognises some of the songs from the DVD,like Count up to Nine and I can't get no Co-operation. I had hoped that this cd would have included Telephone Rock and Forty Blocks from my home. All in all it's a good buy.

Great album from my childhood BUT............2006-02-13

The Only reason I gave this 3 stars and not higher is I remember having the orginal cassette of this years ago when i was a child and it had the songs "Letter B" and "Hey Food" on there and this however, is missing those two songs which is why I will not be buying this on cd. otherwise great collection.

Cookie Monster = SEX MACHINE.......2005-04-15

"Me Going to Much You, Munch You, Munch You" by Cookie Monster may be one of the finest pieces of music ever recorded. The opening bass line alone makes this song worth the price of admission ... but the following melange of wah-wah guitar, piano tinkling and, of course, that crumbly croon will have you on the floor. Certainly a song for the ages. Isaac Hayes? Barry White? Suckers. My man Cookie is where it's at. Your macaroons will be swooning before the tune hits the halfway mark. BUY THIS.

Great, great album.......2003-11-12

I don't know what some of these reviewers are talking about -- this album is fabulous! Perhaps they don't like it as parents...I'm not sure. But I was listening to this album when it was only an LP, and today, almost twenty years later, I can still groove to it. It's a very special part of my childhood memories, and it's ridiculously fun. In fact, I'm delighted to find it on CD because now I can replace our record, which is really scratched up after so much use.

It's like I'm 3 again!!!!.......2002-06-25

On a sudden nostalgia spree I was perusing the "Sesame Street" CDs and happened upon "Born to Add" so of course I HAD to listen to the soundclip. When I was a kid, Born to Add was always my favorite "Sesame St." song (and I think it had a major psychological impact on the fact that I became a Springsteen nut in my later years!), and for some reason, years upon years after ever watching Sesame St, the song (and the image of the leather-clad muppet who was, I believe, green with a purple nose and dancing in an alley with a curly-haired female muppet which was perhaps supposed to be Bruce's then-wife Julieanne Phillips????) has always stuck in my heart.
But all I can say is, hearing it again was absolutely incredible! I LOVE what an endearing parody of Bruce it is, and all I can say is: If you are a Bruce fan, buy this for your little kid!!!

Also, the other songs on this (Cereal Girl, Barn in the USA, I Can't Get No Co-Operation, Honk around the Clock (my other childhood fave!) etc.) are great and memory-filled, too! I can't wait til I have kids someday, so I can enjoy the guilty pleasure of this Sesame St. CD! :)

Pretty Mediocre.......2001-07-17

We own and love the Sing the Alphabet, Numbers, Platinum, and Platinum Too CDs. Yet, we found this album, Born to Add, to be almost painful. The first couple of times the songs are entertaining (being song/style parodies of popular music). But since our 2yr-old likes repetition, we play our CDs over and over. DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS with this album!! I think we don't like this album mostly because the songs just aren't that good. We expect a LOT more from Sesame Street--the other CDs mentioned contain some excellent song/style parodies. We are very disappointed in this purchase.
