Title: Get this Gloomy Gus some Caffeine...or Prozac. Something!
Product review: I can't understand the reviews that say "Fun!" and "Toe Tapper!" This CD is anything but. The songs are probably fine on their own but the delivery is entirely glum. Does this guy not have kids? Did he make this CD at gunpoint? There is no joy--even when the lyrics are fun and happy there is just not a smile in his voice. Something about the timbre of his voice and the seemingly-too-slow delivery saps all the fun out of it to the point that a couple songs are quite morose. Even the children singing in some of the backgrounds seem half asleep. Aiken Drum actually sounds like a dirge!We can only tolerate about the first 4-6 songs, the best of those being Six Little Ducks, and Paw Paw Patch. I was very, very disappointed although I will say that as soon as the duck song is over my daughter asks for it again so at least we only have to listen to that song. $15.99 is a lot of money for one song. Save yourself and just buy the single.
