26 Fun Monster Songs for Kids - Spooky & Educational Music for Halloween Parties, Classroom Activities & Bedtime Stories

Product Description

Amazon.com No one has ever accused the siblings behind Half Japanese, Jad and David Fair, of being anywhere near conventional. When the pair released an album of children's songs, the popular reaction was far more curious than excited--a reaction that is mostly justified upon actually hearing the release. A "concept" album with 26 alphabetical songs about monsters, from the "Abominable Snowman" to the "Zombie," the scariest thing might actually be David Fair's terrifying bass rumble of a voice. (Jad's voice, an acquired taste itself, is much more listenable.) The music itself is fairly conventional, a low key, bluesy guitar backing occasional growls and roars, but the best part of the disc is actually the short, spoken introductions to the songs by an actual kid. "Queen Kong," he intones, dead serious, "is a big ape. Uh, like King Kong." --Randy Silver
