Music reviews of Bedtime and Playtime Stories
Music Review: This CD is Highly Inappropriate
Rating: 1 Stars
I originally bought this CD thinking it would be a sweet thing to play for the kids. Boy was I wrong, the lyrics are disgusting, distastful and offensive. I have never heard so many gross innuendos in such a short time span. If they were trying to break some sort of record then I stand up and applaud them. I would bow to them, but as is clearly stated in "Teletubbies Title Song," they would take advantage of that in horrible ways. The song Rock-A-Bye Baby gave the impression of kidnapping a mothers babdy by luring it to sleep with an enchanting lullaby, while the only thing the mother can do is wave bye...rock a bye. I have not eaten in days since hearing the savage tale of "The Gingerbread Boy." A great lesson to teach your kids, make friends with a deliscious pal, go everywhere with them, then drown him is utter secretion and devour him feet first so he can watch you feast in what seconds he has left. As I sais, disgusting. For the sake of children reading this review I will not get into detail about the hidden meaning in "Custard Machine Not Working" but lets just say it doesn't take a mechanic to fix it, more around the lines of Viagara.
I will not get into the hidden meaning of the other shameful songs, the point of this review is to warn others that this will not put your kids in the happy place. I will be keeping my copy not to listen to, but I feel reselling it would just make other people suffer, and I do not want to help spread the ideals of a group that I thought died with Hitler. I will also not throw the CD away because then there is a chance that some homeless guy picks it out of my trash, and if he had anything to live for before, he would certainly have nothing to live for after hearing this monstrosity.
Description of Bedtime and Playtime Stories
The Teletubbies' Stories CD plays like a reheated episode of the notoriously babyish TV series minus the eye-poppingly bright and only questionably cute visuals. That's not to say that this record is without merits. For one, as defenders of the improbably controversy-shadowed show point out, each of its 10 story tracks are told methodically, in a manner befitting the 2-year-old and younger crowd. When a roaring wind runs away with the Tubbies' favorite things in "Big Wind and Come Back Everything," for instance, listeners run through the loop of Tubbies to get a read on how forlorn each feels. When the hat, scooter, bag, and ball are returned, we circle through the gamut, this one of relief. Similarly simple-to-follow sagas fill the "Playtime Stories" half of the CD, which includes "Tubby Toast Accident" (about an explosion of excess breakfast) and "Laa-Laa's Best Song" (in which the yellow Tubbie tinkers with a song and gleans that the best way to sing is her own way). The "Bedtime Stories" half of the CD doesn't differentiate much from "Playtime." There's a bummer of a story about a broken-down custard machine and one about Dipsy's dazzling way with a lullaby. A wordless rendition of "Rock-a-Bye Baby" and a Tubbiless telling of the classic tale of the Gingerbread Boy also show up. Beyond the easy-to-grasp and therefore potentially educational aspect, this record carries a couple of hidden benefits: caregivers concerned that their tykes are spending too much time in front of the tube will find it offers a guiltless but almost as compelling alternative to the TV show. And, because it's so simple-minded, the CD is easy for adults to tune out. That makes it superb fare for maintaining steady nerves on long car trips, at the very least. --Tammy La GorceGeneral CDs
