little kid voices are annoying.
Hire Alvin and the Chipmonks and be done with it.
“hey ho, let’s go, {mumble) in the back now!”
Echoing the first post. My kids love the Ramones. They also love Devo 1.0. And the Wiggles, too. I find it better to mix in the real stuff with the kids stuff as opposed to kiddie versions of the real thing. My kids love The Plastic Ono Band just as much as the Little Mermaid soundtrack.
All that said, these kiddie Ramones tunes are crap.

Says it all about CBGB’s!
Well, it’s for a good cause, at least, but I think my two-year-old will stick with the originals. She’s a purist.
God, Blag has to be scraping for cash. This is the worst thing I’ve ever heard come out of someone’s mouth.
I wish they would have performed “the KKK took my baby away”.
Coming soon: a 20-track compilation of Kidz Bop version of Xiu Xiu songs.
Ramones for kids can work, just listen to track 10 on this cd http://cdbaby.com/cd/sippycups
Do you think that they got a bunch of kids to actually sing punk, or got a bunch of out of work rockers to huff ballons?
/talk amongst yourselves…
