Judy & David: Articles and Reviews
|
Canadian duo Judy & David are
enormously popular in the Great White North, and it's easy
to see why. Jumpin' Up & Down, their fifth album, has
everything a great early-childhood record should: simple,
catchy tunes, plenty of nursery rhymes, oodles of humor.
Even a dose of learning, as exemplified in the clapping game
"La Bouche," which teaches parts of the body in French. A
cheerful sense of silliness pervades Jumpin' Up & Down,
from the neatophobe's rap in "Hate to Clean" to the
all-chicken rendition of "You Are My Sunshine." The duo
rings creative changes on standards like "I'm a Funky
Teapot," and there's a sweet song about optimism called
"Rainbow Waiting for Me." What more could a preschooler
want? |
