Hey all…
Yes, I have kids. Yes, I am often on the hunt for kids music that we can listen to in the car without going totally insane. 
Enter the Barenaked Ladies… and Snacktime! When I first heard about this, I was amused, but the more songs I heard from the album, the more it became apparent we would have to pick it up.
It’s available on iTunes (that’s where I picked it up) and Amazon. And it’s got some catchy tunes among its 24 tracks! Of all the songs on the CD, I have to say that 7-8-9 and Ninjas are my two favorites.
They’ve even done videos for a couple of the tracks, that I’ll post after the break along with the track list.
Track list:
- 7-8-9
- The Ninjas
- Pollywog In A Bog
- Raisins
- Eraser

The Barenaked Ladies doing kids music??? I use to listen to their songs once and a while when I was young. I remember making fun of the band’s name.

@Petra — It’s definitely worth checking out. Take a listen on last.fm if you’re interested
@Jean — Yeah, I was kind of flabbergasted too, but we loved 7-8-9 (it’s a very funny song, with Gordie Howe hockey references even.
Kind of sad that the lead singer is in trouble with the police over various things at the moment… But hopefully he’ll turn around. They’ve done some great stuff over the years.
