My brother and I really enjoyed our Wee Sing Silly Songs tape as kids, so I purchased the CD for my son. As I recall, on the old release the songs were sung by adults (albeit in funny voices). On the new release the songs are mostly sung by children, which gets to be irritating. I would much prefer to have my old tape back.
Wee Sing Silly SongsWish I had read the customer reviews before I purchased this CD. Like others I had thoroughly enjoyed the original cassette with my children and wanted to purchase a CD version to play in my car with my grandchildren. I was so disappointed with this new release, even though the songs are the same. The children's voices and that of the adult male are very annoying to listen to. Fortunately I have my original cassette for comparison and will try to find some way to convert it to CD. If you enjoyed the original I would definitely not recommend this version!
I have to admit that I'm shocked by some of the reviews. My sister and I grew up on Wee Sing Silly Songs. We would sing it for hours - completely went through one tape and had to buy another. I'm a new mom and I couldn't wait to order this for my daughter because it brought back such great memories - I started humming the songs again just by reading through the titles on the back of the CD. I even remembered the words and I haven't heard the songs in over 20 years. Yes, it has songs with lines like "Nobody likes me, everybody hates me, guess I'll go eat worms" and "I'm squishing up a baby bumble bee," but as a kid you don't even think about the adult meanings in the song, you think about how silly it would be to eat worms. I'm quite surprised that these are new songs to people, as I had learned them long before we ever even had the tape - they're frankly classics.
I am 32 years old, and have such fond memories of the Wee Sing Silly Songs on cassette tape. I have 5 younger siblings, and was talking to one of them recently about how much we loved that tape and would love to hear it again. I purchased the 2007 version and enjoyed it, but somehow it didn't seem quite like how I remembered. I managed to get my hands on an old 1989 cassette tape version and corresponding book and did a direct comparison. The recordings are exactly the same!!!!! Somehow my memory wasn't quite accurate. Only two tiny tracks have been omitted in the more recent version- "A Peanut Sat On A Railroad Track"- about 23 seconds long, and "It Ain't Gonna Rain"- about 38 seconds long, both are tracks that I didn't remember, even though I can still sing from memory quite a few of the others, so I don't miss them on the 2007 cd. The 2007 book has completely different illustrations, and verses 2 and 3 of the baby bumblebee song have been omitted (squishing up the baby bumblebee, and wiping off the baby bumblebee), but the sound tracks are both of just verse one and are exactly the same. I love, love, love these songs and can't wait for my 9 month old to love them with me!
I bought this for my niece, because I remembered playing our Wee Sing Silly Songs cassette until my early teens, the tunes were that catchy. However, as other reviewers have noted, the songs have been re-recorded by children, and many of the lyrics have been altered. It's just not the same. If I had never heard the original, this collection would probably seem adequately entertaining, but as it is, it was just disappointing.
My little sister had the tapes when we were kids- and we just loved them. I got this for my son for his 1st birthday- and he loves it. It has a mixture of Bible songs and silly songs (although all of them are silly!) He loves to dance and clap with the cd. It also comes with the song book- which he also enjoys flipping through, though simply because it is a book. I would play this on road trips- I imagine that I could handle listening to it in the car without going nuts!
When my kids were little we had all the Wee Sing cassette tapes for in our car and also to play in the house. When I discovered that they are still for sale and on cd, I had to get them so that my granddaughter could also share in the sweet little songs like her parent did. What I always loved about Wee Sing, is that the songs are sung by kids. I would recommend ALL of the Wee Sing music. Parents need to let their kids listen to innocent kids music and not all the stuff that "they" listen to. Too many young kids are having their innocence taken away because parents don't want to give up "their" music and movies. I love the innocence of the these classic children's songs. Very sweet.
I was really hoping the recordings would be unchanged from the 80's version I grew up with, but alas--not so. But I'm sure it will form new childhood memories for my little one.I'm glad that my favorite song, "Nobody Likes Me", is still on there. Good to see they haven't sanitized the songs of anything supposedly negative. For heaven's sake, I have plenty of confidence, even though I sang about eating worms!Track Listing:1.
