CBeebies - The Album Review

Fans of CBeebies are in for a treat following the release of the brand new 50 track, 2 CD collection of all their favourite CBeebies theme tunes, songs from the shows and from the CBeebies presenters themselves.  We were sent a copy so we could have a listen!

CBeebies - The Album is perfect for entertaining little ones and brilliant for car journeys.  The familiar songs are instantly recognisable and had Freddy dancing and singing along.  Tree Fu Tom, Mike the Knight and the Tweenies theme tunes are his favourites and the presenter's songs are a great addition to the tracklist.  They are so catchy, you can't help but join in with your pre-schooler!

The album features all the big names in CBeebies including Justin, Rastamouse, Baby Jake and The Zingzillas.  The mix of the newest hits alongside some older favourites like the Tweenies and Balamory theme tunes will keep everyone happy.  You just can't go wrong with this album if you have little ones who love CBeebies.

The 30 Day Music Challenge

There is a 30 day music challenge going down on Facebook at the moment.  Everyday there is a theme and you post a YouTube video of the song that fits it.  I'm copying Not Met Megan and condensing the 30 days into a more do-able version and catching up with everyone else by posting the first five in one bitesize chunk!

Day One:  Your Favourite Song

Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven is the one song that I keep coming back to when I try to pinpoint my favourite song.  It's a classic with Messrs Page and Plant doing what they do best.  It was also instrumental in me falling in love with my husband :)

Day Two: Your Least Favourite Song

The Climb by Joe McElderry stands for everything I hate.  A two bit wannabe being skyrocketed to overnight success by the voting public in a TV talent show (which pedestrianises any sign of genuine talent).  It's just yuck!  Rage Against the Machine beat this to the Christmas No.1.  It was the first download I ever bought...I helped defeat the Cowell empire and its assumption that it owned the charts.

Day Three: A Song That Makes You Happy

The Ugly Bug Ball is a wonderful, life affirming Disney song.  I made up a literal interpretive dance to it as a small child.  It makes me smile :)

Day Four:  A Song That Makes You Sad

I cry like a baby at this tragic Bobby Goldsboro song Honey.  The lyrics are like the script of a weepy.  It gets me everytime :(

Day Five:  A Song That Reminds You of Someone

My lovely 98 year old Nan who died in 2008, loved this song so much.  It was played at her funeral and we just know that she is up in heaven dancing to it with her husband Bill. xxx
