Before I just head off into the wide blue yonder of telling you about something cool, I do want to mention that I did update my last somewhat whiny-bordering-on-complainy post with good news. You know...just so you know.
NOW, moving on to something that'll make you feel all happy (unlike my last post)...

If any band could teach your kids a bit of Spanish and how to cover their cough and sneeze, it's The Jimmies. Really. They're just that cool. Your kids will be saying "a cow with a hat" in Spanish WHILE sneezing into their elbow "wrunkles" in no time.
The best word for this 2 disc DVD/CD combo is fun. If you like to rock out with your kids, The Jimmies are for you. (OK and maybe I was sold the moment I opened the package and found a whoopie cushion, but I'm not saying.)
This band definitely has their own unique kind of sound and silliness, the kind that won't drive the grown-up involved in the listening absolutely crazy, but will possibly bring said adult back to the 80's with it's rockin' guitar riffs.
The DVD is full of truly well done music videos, and the CD has you listening to a live concert with a whole lot of hilarious audience participation. This is the perfect DVD/CD for the tiniest of kids, who will enjoy the silly lyrics. It's also perfect for kids who may be starting to grow out of children's music because the style is definitely cool enough for them. I myself kind of want to be like lead singer, Ashley. She's a funky kind of cool, while still having enough endearing quirkiness for kids to fall in love with her.
You can take a listen and learn more about this ecclectic group by visiting The Jimmies official website. They are truly an original, hilarious, and creative group of people...
The Jimmies CD/DVD combo is available HERE and HERE OR NOW EVEN HERE!
The Jimmies Trying Funny Stuff is definitely the perfect gift idea.
We love it here at our house so much that Miles would even like me to tell you that his favorite song is the "crazy hair one." You can see why:
See? Totally rockin' cool. Thanks for checking it out here with me.
Peace out.
(I did receive this CD/DVD for free, but I was not compensated for writing this review. The End.)

I've been thinking about writing a whole blog post asking for readers' favorite Christmas gift suggestions...consider yourself as having commented on a post that hasn't yet been written. This looks like such a fun set of music!
Man, you're good. You're just cool like that.
I wonder if it's too young for a 9 year old. He's pretty much into the same music I am.
Sounds really fun though!
Thanks for the review! They look like way fun!
Too bad my kids are too old for this CD. I would have loved it!
PS I didn't consider your last post whiny at all!
Man. I needed this CD about 5 years ago. The tunes to Barney, and the like, still pop in my head.
I sing them to my kids and it's followed by... "Mooooooom!" Oh, the irony. Hehe... ;)
This is fabulous! My three-year-old is a wanna be rock star so this is perfect for him! I'm heading over to the website right now...I see a stocking stuffer in his future!! Thanks for sharing!
Um yeah, LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!! Totally takes me back to the 80's with the sound, so yeah, LOVE IT!
It's like an 80s music video! Love it.
My kids are too old for this...but I have a friend with little ones that would love it. Come over for a visit. Holly at lifelaughlatte
