If you are a parent you know that one of the hardest things to deal with in the car is the radio. Trying to find kid friendly music appropriate and acceptable to both a 6 year old and a 3 year old, let alone music that won’t push a parent over the edge can be a challenge.
Well this summer Walt Disney Records is launching a Music Block Party Tour and as part of it they are releasing five new CDs that are fun, entertaining and appropriate for the entire family.
Through MomCentral I recently had the chance to check out the following CDs being released as part of the Music Block Party Tour:
- Ralph’s World
- Imagination Movers
- Choo Choo Soul
- They Might Be Giants.
- Disney Music Block Party CD (Classic Disney tunes by popular artists)
Ralph’s World:
Who doesn’t love Ralph’s World? This new CD, The Rhyming Circus was a hit with the boys. They danced around the house for over an hour listening to this CD. The really liked songs like Folsom Daycare Blues and Polka Dot Shirt.
Imagination Movers:
Titled, Juice Box Hero’s, the Imagination Movers CD is another CD that won’t be painful for parents to listen too. You’ve probably caught the videos to a couple of these songs on the Disney Channel like Calling all Movers and Numbers in a Bag. The CD sound is a little more “rock” than most and the boys liked jamming to it at their grandma’s house.
Choo Choo Soul:
So I will admit that I was not looking forward to listening to this album. My boys occasionally watch Choo-Choo Soul on Disney and every time I hear the “All Aboard the Choo Choo Train” song it sticks in my head all day long. It’s so catchy it’s ridiculous! Let me just say, much to my chagrin, the entire album is just as catchy. While this wasn’t the boys favorite CD, the did really like “The Polite Song” as well as Do Your Own Dance.” If your kids watch this show on Disney than this is a definite must buy.
They Might Be Giants:
Here Come the 1,2,3s CD includes 24 catchy songs that incorporate learning without the kids even knowing it. My favorites, and the boys, include Zeros, High Five!, Pirate Girls Nine and Seven Days a Week. We listened to this CD for two hours straight during our recent trip to Lake Cumberland and it didn’t make me want to rip my hair out.
Disney Music Block Party:
This CD features music by some of the most popular Playhouse Disney artists. It includes some of my favorite Disney songs from my childhood and the boys really liked it. Artists featured on the album include Wayne Brady (love him!!) singing The Tiki, Tiki, Tiki Room and the Doodlebops singing Under the Sea. If you want to share the songs you enjoyed as a child but with an updated sound, this album will surely meet that need.
If you are looking for some fun new music for your children that will also be enjoyable for the adults in the room, then I would recommend heading out and picking up any one of these CDs. The boys really had a great time with them and it was great having music that they both could get into.
