Child's Celebration of Silliest Songs
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
In an age when children are expected to meet the seriousness of living with their own early sobriety, a good bit of goofin' seems in order. And lighthearted levity is just what A Child's Celebration of Silliest Songs delivers: campfire favorites like "On Top of Spaghetti" and "John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt," schoolyard rhymes such as "Tiny Tim" and "Apples and Bananas," and ticklishly wholesome renditions of "Three Little Fishies" and "Shake My Sillies Out." As with others in this popular series (which includes A Child's Celebration of Dance Music, A Child's Celebration of the World, and A Child's Celebration of Rock 'n' Roll, among others), Silliest Songs gathers material from a rich variety of sources. Highlights include appearances by well-loved children's artists Raffi, Julie Andrews, and Maria Muldaur. Also included are turns by Little Richard, the Persuasions, and comedian Cheech Marin, who steals the show as a singing bus driver. Best suited to toddlers and primary schoolers, this collection stands for the fun in function. --Paige La Grone
From Parents' Choice®
If you're a grownup, you've heard them all before, but you can share a giggle and some enjoyable car-traveling with kids who've probably never heard most of these just-for-fun songs. A sampling: "I'm My Own Grandpa," by Chet Atkins; Shelley Duvall's rendition of "Three Little Fishies," "Beans and Cornbread" by Taj Mahal and Linda Tillery; "There's a Hole in the Bottom of the Sea," by Danny Kaye; Burl Ives' "The Riddle Song." Raffi's "Shake My Sillies Out" fits right in and so does Little Richard... read more

Laugh out loud funny.......2005-10-18
My 6-year-old and 3-year-old love this, as does their 9-year-old cousin. They all belt out "My Name is Cheech and I am a School Bus Driver" and dissolve into giggles, and wander around singing "I'm my own grandpa ..." Very funny stuff. Probably kids 5 and up will get the humor better. This is by far my children's favorite of all our "Child's Celebration" collection.
Fun, Fun, Fun! Get ready to be silly!!!!.......2005-07-17
Our 3-year old daughter LOVES this CD. Some of the other people that reviewed it need to lighten up - they obviously are music nerds and don't enjoy SILLY songs with their kids. Hello - the title does say "Silliest Songs". I rented it from the library, as I do with all our CD's before I buy them. She loved it, so I bought one. As with any CD there are a couple songs that aren't our favorites and we skip them, but the CD is very fun and, as the title says, VERY SILLY! We are a bunch of silly people around here and have a blast with our kids - especially with "Cheech" the school bus driver! In fact, in our house, this CD is referred to as "Cheech". So clear the floor space, crank up the volume and get ready to have fun and be silly!
Cheese with sugar.......2002-12-10
A big disappointment: too many cheesy, saccharine, patronising tunes in the old Disney style. The odd classic like the Danny Kaye piece is overwhelmed by the material specially recorded for the album, using naff, dated synthesisers.
silliest songs is not engagin.......2002-09-03
If your 2 year old is a fan of RAffi and Laurie Berkner and Toddlers Storytime/Playtime et al - this will be a ho hummer. It's too bad the compilation isn't more engaging and tends to swing between too wide an age range to be worth the investment. 50% nice songs and 50% blahs
