Hit: 5 Stars

A fast paced, high pitched, fun for all; "Silly Songs with Larry" delivers everything you expect from a CD for kids. All fourteen tracks, including three bonus tracks and a remix are well written with lyrics that are easy to understand and sing-along to. All of the tracks are based on absolute nonsense and are simply silly. Larry, a cucumber, sings all but one of the songs and throughout the CD is accompanied by a variety of different vegetables. Silly Songs with Larry is a segment that appears in the "Veggie Tales" cartoon created by the Big Ideas production company. Each song has a different tune and, of course, a different set of lyrics. Every track has a minimum of one line that is repeated throughout the song, so that children can sing along almost right away.
The first song, "The Water Buffalo Song" is a very short, banjo accompanied piece with a clear message to Larry to "stop being so silly," a suitably silly beginning to a CD of silly songs. "The Hairbrush Song" is a classical piece, with a sad story about Larry's missing hairbrush and the importance of sharing in the foreground. In the "Dance of the Cucumber" Larry performs a "traditional Argentinean ballad" in Spanish, while his friend Bob, the tomato, translates. This is one of the high points of the CD; since Larry ends up having Bob translate parts of the song that bluntly insult the tomato. This song makes good use of the repetition mentioned earlier. Most of the second verse is the first verse with one or two words having been changed. This is a longer song and is also fun for the parents. The fourth track, "I Love my Lips" is Larry's tribute to his lips and is also a strong contribution to the album. Like the first song it also has a strong banjo element in the background. This song has a lot of repetition, and an inspiring interlude of the sound that any kid can make by humming and running their pointer finger over their lips. "The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything" is a lot of fun the first few times you hear it, but is a song you don't want to get stuck in your head. Larry stuns the vegetables with his multimedia brilliance with "The song of the Cébu" by using a catchy tune to help you forget that you have no idea what a cébu is. "His Cheeseburger", one of the two "love songs" on this CD is about a man and his love for a cheeseburger. The main message of this song is one about patience, singing about a man who waits all night in a drive-thru to get his cheeseburger. "The Yodeling Veterinarian of the Alps" is, as expected, a cute yodel about a veterinarian who has "gone a little loopy" and is receiving a lot of help from his secretary. He takes credit for her work, and refuses to give her a raise, so it ends up putting the veterinarian in a rather silly predicament when it comes to one of his patients. Larry is a big fan of the "Endangered Love" soap opera, and is in love with the main character from the show, Barbara Manatee. Throughout the song Larry professes his love to Barbara while he watches the show. Larry's professions are what make this the second silly love song on the album. The final track is another classically backed piece, about "Larry's High Silk Hat" is the only "Classy song with Larry" on the disk. It is a longer piece that is also very repetitive and talks about how classy Larry feels when he is wearing his high silk hat. The three bonus tracks are shorter and are also very funny, although "Lost Puppies" is the only track that Larry doesn't sing. "Oh Santa" and "Do the Moo Shoo" round out the bonus tracks and are just a funny as the first ten. The remix is the perfect way to end the CD and contains part of all ten of the regular tracks from the "Silly Songs with Larry" soundtrack. It has a techno sound and is fun to dance to.
The main strength of this album is the creativity of the writers of these songs. Every song has unique lyrics and, as such, each song sounds very different. The songs are easy to sing to and fun to dance to. They all teach important lessons, like sharing, patience and respect. While the songs are all silly, they are also more then that, fun and educational.
The main weakness of this, or any children's album, is that any child will want to listen to is over and over. The CD is relatively short, and from an adult perspective, may get annoying and repetitive after it has been played for the umpteenth time. However, if alternated with other children's music, it would be an excellent way to pass the time during a boring car ride or even to make a wait seem shorter.
I own this CD, and I do not have any children. I think that this CD would be a welcome addition to anyone with a good sense of humor with the occasional need to unwind.
