Music reviews of Songs from the Street: 35 Years of Music

Music Review: don't know who likes it more, me or my 4 year old!
Rating: 5 Stars

When I ordered this set, I pretended I was buying it for my daughter but really it's for me. I listen to it even when she is not in the car.

As an kid from the original Sesame Street generation, the older songs bring back memories for me and it's great to share those with my daughter. I've heard a lot of versions of many of these songs on records, tapes, videos, etc, so I don't really feel like one version is the definitive one so I don't feel cheated over which ones they chose. And I must not be picky enough because unlike other reviewers I don't think the sound quality is bad at all. I do think they could have sprung for jewel cases for the CDs, the cardboard sleeves are awful cheapy and I've already stuck mine in some empty CD-R jewel cases so they don't get lost in the car.

Since many of the more popular sesame street songs (rubber duckie, c is for cookie, elmo's song, I love trash...) are on multiple collections already, my daughter has them on other CDs or tapes and some, while I love them to pieces, you can get tired of them after a while. So it's great to get to hear some of the great music from the show that has not been available before. As a kid the visiting singers and guests were one of my favorite things, I would be so thrilled when someone visited Sesame Street. Listening to these CDs I can see Grover and Madeleine Kahn, Billy Joel and Oscar, and Ernie and Aaron Neville as they sing the songs. And Cab Calloway hidey-ho-ing with the muppets.

The booklet that comes with this is fabulous, a great read, very nice and worth it just to have the lyrics to "Mah Mah Mah Nah". It is just so amazing to think of all the stars that have come out to sing on Sesame Street over 35 years.

The 3rd CD is definitely my least favorite, it is the only one with a song or two that I skip over sometimes because I am tired of it. I think it would have been better to mix them up instead of putting all the pop singer stuff together. Younger viewers might relate better to these songs having heard them on the show the first time around. For me, having missed most of the 90s era sesame street being single, I never heard many these till now and one or two of them I could go forever without hearing again, but some of them are really cool. my daughter and I love to make up our own words to songs on the radio so it is such fun for us to hear the muppets singing along with their own lyrics for REM and Hootie and the Blowfish and Spin Docters songs - ones that my daughter has heard her dad and I play the real songs. You can just imagine how much fun they had writing those new lyrics.

I've always loved "Sing" but my new favorite, a song I'd forgotten till it began to play and it came back in a flash: "One small voice can teach the world a song". All those small voices on Sesame Street have taught the world a lot of songs over 35 years. Get this set and listen to them all.

Description of Songs from the Street: 35 Years of Music

Songs from the Street, the boxed set that stretches back to "Sesame Street's" 1969 debut, is the kids' record of the year, if not the decade: Big Bird and the gang might've pulled it off themselves--for a crew of fix-it store workers, shopkeeps, and goofball monsters, the talent quotient's off the charts--but when you've got this many names to drop, they've got to land somewhere. What impresses most in three discs is the lack of a single thud. Cab Calloway, Pete Seeger, and James Taylor mosey in on disc one; Johnny Cash, BB King, and Tony Bennett take seats on the stoop for disc two; and the Dixie Chicks, Gloria Estefan, and R.E.M. raise the brownstone roof on disc three--and that's leaving out stars like Lena Horne, Stevie Wonder, Billy Joel, and Trisha Yearwood. When it comes to inspiring preschoolers and their parents to sing the praises of rubber duckies, bein' green, and the people in their neighborhood; "The Street" gets busy. --Tammy La Gorce
