Get Down With the Clown

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
The thing about getting down with the clown--Bozo the Clown, that is--is that you can't really blame anyone for not wanting to. Never mind the scary associations; at issue here is the music, and Bozo, beloved as he is, has never been known to get folks grooving. This record effectively changes that. In 14 genre-spanning songs, Mike Himelstein, who wrote, produced, and performed with vocal help from Tony Danza, Rosie Flores, and other fans, brings out Bozo's best via a ballad "Ballad of Bozo"), a parade ("Bozo's Big Parade"), a blues number ("Blues for Bozo"), and more. The silliest songs--the rhyme-a-thon "Molly on a Trolley" and the hoot-worthy "How Many Clowns can you Cram in a Car" are the slap-happiest successes, but all are fun, right down to William Shatner's phony-philosophy rant "What is a Clown," which couldn't be any kookier than a yak-haired fellow in size 83 shoes. --Tammy La Gorce

5 out of 5 stars CRAZY FUN FOR KIDS.......2003-12-01

This is a fun, toe-tapping selection of songs the whole family enjoys. It is great for at home or in the car. I love the different styles of music for the songs. Highly recommend this music for young kids!!

5 out of 5 stars WHOLESOME FUN STILL EXISTS.......2003-11-22

Always on the lookout for new music to share with my children I came across "Bozo and Pals get down with the clown". It was a blast from the past. I loved Bozo as a child and was thrilled to introduce him to my own kids. The album is fantastic. Every song is completely different and each of my children have their own favorites. There should be more fun, goofy, poignant and "easy on the ears" music like this CD. I highly recommend it to all parents who are tired of the same old monotonous re packaged songs. The bonus video that plays on the computer is a fun extra treat.

5 out of 5 stars Fabulous for kids!.......2003-11-19

I bought this CD for my 3 and 5 year old nieces. In no time at all they were dancing around the room to the tunes. This is a very light, fun, and "easy" CD. I bought another one for a friend's child for a holiday stocking stuffer! I highly recommend this CD. No need for any parent to be worried about the lyrics with this! Excellent.
