From Site: This musical recording is a compilation of classic children’s songs, familiar to both kids today and parents of yesteryear. The songs are meant to invoke happy memories of childhood for everyone, while exposing children to the funky, high-instrumentation sound that oozes out of the Crescent City.
As a funky mother of two, I was disappointed by the offerings of children’s music and set out to expose my kids to a variety of musical genres. From the time they were in my belly, I played everything from hard rock to classical ballads. My sons, Jake, 9 (assistant producer) and Aidan, 5, took a love to New Orleans funk and so the concept was born… take kids songs and just make them funky.
The songs on the CD Are:
- You’ve Got A Friend In Me – Bonerama
- Hokey Pokey – Big Sam’s Funky Nation
- Zip A Dee Doo Dah –Ivan Neville’s Dumpstaphunk
- Yellow Submarine – Papa Grows Funk
- If I Only Had A Brain – Paul Sanchez
- He’s Got the Whole World In His Hands – George Porter Jr.
- Somewhere Over the Rainbow – Theresa Andersson
- Froggy Went A Courtin – The Radiators
- This Land is Your Land – Walter “Wolfman” Washington and the Roadmasters
- When I See An Elephant Fly – Johnny Sketch and the Dirty Notes
- This Little Light of Mine – Ingrid Lucia
- Garden Song – Amanda Shaw and the Cute Guys
****I wasn’t really into the music, but I’m from the west coast and have never really heard this form of genre. My husband thought it was great and was really pleased. It’s a great way to introduce children to the sounds of New Orleans. My children liked it after the first couple times it played. I think It’s a great CD for introducing genres of music to your children.
