Ryan and I have been a BNL fan for years, so maybe this post is a little bias, but hear me out.
Anyone who has children knows how difficult it is to listen to the radio with kids in the car. Now-a-days, you never know what inappropriate lyrics your child is going to pick up from a seemingly harmless pop hit.
Anyone who has children also knows how horribly annoying children’s music is. Most songs have simple tunes and are dangerously repetitive. These are the songs your child can sing (over and over and over and over again) after hearing it just once. These are also the songs you can’t get out of your head at 3AM when you can’t get back to sleep. When we hear “children’s music CD”, normally we run… and run fast.
A Barenaked Ladies children’s CD, however, intrigued us. On an impulse, we downloaded the album. Turns out, while there are a few campy tunes, most of it sounds like normal music! If you weren’t listening to the lyrics, you might not know you were listening to a kid’s album. And, of course, the kids love it!

I Love that music. Very cool.
OMgosh... too awesome! That song is hilarious! We like the SchoolHouse Rocks songs. Educational but also not neurotically annoying.
Yeah...I heard them singing one of their songs on a morning talk program!! What a refreshing, fun change to the children's music market!
