Finally, a boy band with some substance: Australia's Wiggles, a four-bloke outfit complete with an entourage of costumed characters, several videos, and their own TV show, ought to have no problem worming their way into the CD collections of 2- to 6-year-olds. Yummy Yummy, a 24-track album brimming with danceable, singable, and sometimes nonsensical songs, is largely about food, numbers, and animals. Most appealing about the group--Greg Page (lead vocalist and the Wiggle in yellow), Murray Cook (guitarist and red-shirted Wiggle), Anthony Field (another guitarist, but in blue), and Jeff Fatt (a purple-skivvied backing vocalist)--is its unabashed goofiness and pluck. In "Shake Your Sillies Out," for example, you get the feeling that, in a studio somewhere, these guys actually are shaking their sillies out, nodding their naughties out, clapping their crazies out, jumping their jiggles out, and wibbling their wobbles away. "Fruit Salad," "Hot Potato," and "Crunchy Munchy Honey Cakes" also are recipes for fun. But not to worry--"The Monkey Dance," "Walk," and "Come On Let's Jump" eliminate the threat of food-induced listener lethargy. Aside from the songs themselves, another yummy-yummy aspect of this album (and their Let's Wiggle) is its track lengths. While the "Numbers Joke" lasts only 11 seconds, the instrumental "The Chase," the record's longest number, weighs in at 4 minutes--no demands are being made on short attention spans here. --Tammy La Gorce

| 27 of 29 people found the following review helpful  thank goodness for cd's, By A Customer This review is from: Yummy Yummy (Audio CD) I wasn't a big fan of THE WIGGLES at first, but I now love them, well because my daughter is amazed by them since she was only like 4 months old ( she will be a year old on halloween). I bought this cd because she started to cry in the car whenever I needed to take her with me, and you can only listen to a crying baby for so long before you want to pull your hair out. I put in the cd, and I swear, it was like a miracle, she was quiet the whole time. and she even falls asleep to it. The only drawback, the music gets stuck in your head, but at least you'll have hair. If you only want to buy one, make sure it's songs you are familiar with, i don't think there is the need for a lot of cd's...barbara, growing her hair back in long island. 13 of 13 people found the following review helpful Too Catchy, By West Seattle Mom (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews This review is from: Yummy Yummy (Audio CD) At first I wasn't a big fan of the CD, but with in 2 car rides I was singing all of the songs. Our 6 month old daughter thinks it is the greatest. Perfect for a road trip, she could listen quietly for hours. A personal favorite is "Fruit Salad". The only down side is that my husband and I find ourselves singing the songs in our head all day long. Great tunes. 10 of 10 people found the following review helpful The Wiggles are HOT, By Kwithyco "WitKat" (Portland, OR. United States) - See all my reviews This review is from: Yummy Yummy (Audio CD) We're Wiggles fans from back when the now defunct FOX Family channel showed the Wiggles World TV show. And though at first the Wiggles seemed a bit "odd" I've grown to love and admire them. Oh, yeah, my girls like them too.As a musician who hates most insipid children's music, I find the Wiggles' song-crafting refreshingly clever and pop-oriented - easy to listen to ad infinitum - and I find myself singing along. This CD in particular has many of our Wiggly favorites - who can find fault with Fruit Salad or Hot Potato? And if you get a chance to see the Wiggles live, do so! These guys act as un-jaded, nice and enthusiastic as they come, and put on a truly memorable and enjoyable show for kids and their tired parents! And we met Murray Wiggle headed for Starbucks! And get the videos - they are a must for you and your kids to truly appreciate the Wiggles. |
