You can't stop humming!
There's plenty for kids to love, including nonsense songs like "In the Middle" that have become minivan singalong staples. This catchy album of children's songs is one of my favorite TMBG albums ever. Adult fans of TMBG will find songs like "Robot Parade" and "Edison Museum" that rival TMBG's best work. .


Music is "meh" and the enhanced CD is a pain in the neck...
I think the short clips where the best parts of the album. I purchased this for my kids after listening to the short clips here on Amazon. Fibber island and a couple others are alright, but my toddlers were not impressed with any of the songs.

The annoying part is that this is one of those enhanced/flash/copy protected CDs. The flash program/cartoon video interface might be fun to some people, but it just a pain to most people. My kids have those Blue Hat Toy Company MP3 players and these type of CDs make it annoying to get the music copied over to them. With a normal CD you can just drag and drop the music over to the MP3 player (since the mp3 player looks like a simple storage drive). With this "enhanced" CD you have to bother with importing into iTunes or Windows media player, and then "rip" or "sync" it over to the mp3 player. Then if do not want this album taking up space on your hard drive, or shuffled in with your "grown up" music, you have to delete it. Not that big of a deal, its just annoying, and I guess its my fault for not seeing that the format listed on amazon's web site did say that it was enhanced. I will be double checking from now on though. It does seem to play fine on the CD player we have in the house, but you can read some reviews on here from people who have complained that this CD doesn't play correctly on their CD players.

My advice to anyone in the music (and movie) industry is to stop trying to copy protect everything. If you annoy the people who actually purchase your product with copy protection crap that interferes with normal use of the product, they will stop buying your product. Besides, if copy protection history has shown us anything its that if someone really wants to copy something they will figure out a way to do it regardless to of what lengths are taken to stop it.

So knock it off already. . .

By the way, those $25 Blue Hat Toy Company MP3 players have been great so far (two months now). The kids drag and drop them all day long, and they keep right on playing.


Okay
This one is okay. Not as catchy as their ABC production, which is terrific.


love this!
It's not sappy and sing-songy like so much other music "for children. Our whole family loves this CD -- 2 parents, 2 kids (ages 5 and 11). " It's completely wacky and great musically -- a great gift for anyone with kids.


No!
Now it was time to get the music. My husband is a huge TMBG fan and when we found out that the theme song for "Malcolm in the Middle" was written by them, we started watching the show.
