It's Snacktime with the Barenaked Ladies
Categories: Gadgets & tech, That's entertainment
Are you a fan of the Barenaked Ladies? Are your kids? What would you do with a million dollars? If you're not a fan, or even familiar with them, the Barenaked Ladies are a Canadian alternative rock group dating back to the late 1980's. Now, you're probably thinking "Canada? The country that gave us such musical porridge as Anne Murray, Celine Dion, and William Shatner?" but, well, okay, you've got a point. I would counter, however, with the Tragically Hip, Bachman-Turner Overdrive, and Heart.Whatever your thoughts on the Canadian music scene, the Barenaked Ladies have risen to fame over the years and have now announced their latest album: Snacktime. The album is the group's first collection of children's music and features such soon-to-be classics as 7 8 9, My Big Sister, and Crazy ABC's.
The CD is also available with a companion book by the group, "a hilarious and touching collection of stories based on their children's album of the same name. Snacktime takes you through a world full of Humungous Trees, Ninjas, Popcorn, and imagination that will leave you hungry for more!" If you pre-order from their website before April 28th, the CD alone is only $10 and the Book and CD Combo is $15, both with free shipping.
If you're unsure about whether or not this is something you'd want to share with your kids, you can check out the animated video of their song 7 8 9 below. It's a western-themed take on the classic explanation of why six is afraid of seven. Check it out, then check out the whole album. I know I am.
