"These songs are like the hit "I'm a Gummy Bear", which is there, in English as well as other languages. They're fine for kids, with the exception of "Touch Me All Night Long", which I don't think is appropriate for preteen children. It isn't explicit, but just not appropriate, I feel. You could download it to the MP3 player, and just delete that one."

"It amazes me that these videos only have 10's of millions of views on YouTube instead of billions. For instance take the song, "I'm a Gummy Bear", it has been translated into a dozen languages. This CD has the Spanish, Hungarian, and English versions, but why stop there? On YouTube there are versions for the Swedish, French, Brazilian, German, and even the Slovak listener - none are left out. Why would any sane person translate this power ballad you ask? I answer you; because of the magnitude of the Gummibar phenomena. Does the word, Awesomsatious capture it? Nay, it doesn't... but it does come close.



Other reviewers have pointed out that this CD and, by extension, the gummy-brand music is meant for children. I do not see how this is possible. Perhaps it's because the depth and gravity of the lyrics speak to your inner child? This high-pitched green blob of bear tells the listener that he is their gummy bear. He encourages you to eat him in three bites - now I ask you, is he singing about the actual consumption of his likeness? No. Clearly he is telling you to consume your pain, anger, and frustration and not let them consume you. What a statement on life. Whether or not he represents the father long absent in your life, the first love misplaced by time, or even the first breath of independence when you turned 18, is entirely up to the listener. We all make choices. We all have to live with the results of those choices. This bear wants to make you face them. And then eat them.



Beyond playing this music during the obvious moments, such as when you're holding a glass of vintage Port wine reflecting on all of life's absurdities, I recommend using this music in a less existential frame of reference. You can loosen your tie and party all night long to such hits as Cho Ka Ka O and Buj Buj Polka. I have also found that this music helps me perform better during strength and endurance sports. As a matter of fact, I can up my squat max by 130 lbs when I have Scatman turned up to 11.



After much consideration, I am not offended by the other reviewer's insistence that this music is for children, or is annoying. Look into your own souls! Do you not question the vagaries of life??? Read the lyrics and then reflect on your existence.



I forgive you Sir Stephan J. Gold who *gasp* claims this music is... redundant. It is no more redundant than the beating of my heart...









Oh, by the way, my three year old loves it."

"This CD is excellent. It's a lot of fun for kids and older people who are kids at heart. All of the songs are fun in many ways, to dance, sing or listen to with your foot tapping the floor. The videos are great and it's wonderful to have kids here songs in different languages. MUST BUY!"
