"Our 4 year old loves the "Parakeet" album in the car and our 18 month old goes down quietly after his books with this CD. I'm sure they'll both learn the "real" lyrics someday, but for now the melody seems to do just fine..."
Absolutely Incredible - Must Have for a New Baby!

"I've got to admit up front that I'm a HUGE Buffett fan, however, I assure you that this review is not biased because of that in any way. Just ask my wife - she plays the CD more than I do, but she "doesn't understand what the big deal with Jimmy Buffett" is. *grin*
That being said, our new baby, Madeline (now 6 weeks) has problems with swallowing a lot of air during bottle feedings, as many babies do. When her stomach gets upset, she has some of her worst and loudest crying fits and there is nothing that will calm her down... except for... you guessed it, this CD.
Within the first 15 seconds of the first track (Margaritaville), she's quiet as can be, and will sometimes even go right to sleep (along with some Mylicon and TLC) before the CD is halfway done. Before we started playing it for her, we would stay up for hours trying everything we could, including classical tunes and other lullabies.
So I would say that if you've got a new baby that happens to cry (is alive) and he/she's got feathers in her future, this CD may save your sanity AND get your baby on the track to becoming a little Parakeet."
Sleepytime Tunes - for the quiet times

"I've purchsed these CDs for both grandchildren. They fall asleep to the gentle music. But I also use the CD myself as background music when I just want to listen to instrumentals. Whether you are a Jimmy Buffett fan or not, this is a great CD."
Great Idea

"I bought the Jimmy Buffett Sleepytime Tunes to add to my lullaby playlist that I've been building for my newborn son. It is calm soothing music and what a great way to introduce my son to Jimmy!"
