To start with…this is the first DVD I have played for my child that he did not take to immediately. Any new DVD show he stops everything he’s doing and goes up to the tv to watch it. Usually takes a few times of watching something for him to finally get a little tired of it. He has never ever decided to crawl away the moment a new DVD show came on but he did with this. I had to take him over to the tv so he could see it was a new show and he had zero interest! Totally shocking! Turns out lucky me though cause this dvd and the music are horrific! Unbearable to listen to and that’s putting it mildly. OMG! Just so incredibly bad I cannot even describe. You people are nuts!

I bought this video on the advice of a friend (I see it’s now on DVD). My son loved it (addicted to it, even)! But I absolutely could not stand it. For one thing, it has a lot of kids in it, but not many babies–so, why is it called Baby Songs? I especially despised the song with the alien in the tub. I finally sold it at a garage sale to some other poor, unsuspecting mother. At least with the DVD, you can skip the really bad songs. The good ones seem to be at the end. My favorite is “So Big.” But I recommend buying the Baby Einstein series instead. The music is better, and my son loves them just as much.

Hi. My name is Darcy
My mother purchased “Baby Songs” for me in 1988 when I was two years old. We brought it when I was crying in the Albertson’s in Fresno, CA. I just looved the cover, and I couldn’t let go of it, so we brought it.
Once we got home, I handed it to mom, and she put it in the VCR, and I loved it.
It teaches you about sharing, getting things washed in the washing machine, and how to “Shout and Whisiper” (I love you!)
It’s like yesterday, I was threee again… Shout and whisper, that’s what we do/ shout and whisper I love you /Shout! I love you!/Whisper I love you”!
Perhaps the song that still forver touches my heart is with the puppet, in bed, flying over the moon. He sings
“I rest until the birdie sings/ goodbye to the golden moon”…
I had a dream when I was little that I was doing that, along with Bert and Ernie
I also like the “Don’t Take my Blankie Away” song. That’s still my number one joint!
Anyways, I STRONGLY reccomend this video, even if it is seventeen years old. It will forever stay with them, like it did with me! And I’m eighteen now!

(…)When my sisters were younger, this video was a big help. It taught them lots of stuff such as how to get dressed and how to use the potty. At the age of 3.5, they stopped watching this video because then they learned how to do all of this stuff. Then at the age of 4.5, we sold this video to a woman that needed it for her kids. (…)
