When swing was queen, life was simpler and just a bit more carefree... so what better period from which to steal music for a children's recording? It works: the music is fun and catchy, the lyrics light and positive. It would be hard to imagine kids not singing along with classics like Zip A Dee Doo Dah and Jeeper's Creepers, especially when you combine them with the fresh new arrangements that Maria just seems to having a ton of fun with (her scat alone on Three Little Fishies is worth the cost of admission). The scary part is that my inner child kept singing the tunes to my adult brain all day and I only listened once. So take heed, this is definitely an over-and-over again recording for kids!
