The Best of Children's Songs

Search: Oranges And Lemons - Uncle Mac
by: Various Artists

Release Date February 14, 2005
This cd was purchased for my son, it very well maybe the worst cd I've come across for children, starting with "Jake the Peg" by Rolf Harris, apparently Jake the peg had three legs, and when he was a baby his father found it difficult to put his nappy on... No I'm not joking this is on the first track of the cd! This cd struck me as more of an adult comedy skit, Im trying in some way to end on a positive note...

Unhappy with purchase, can I have a refund?

Hello Children Everywhere Vol.2

Search: Oranges And Lemons - Uncle Mac
by: Various Artists

Release Date May 19, 2003
This is a charming little CD with songs and extracts from quite a wide period. Uncle Mac's BBC newsreader tones from the early fifties describe a familiar children's game, whilst Benny Hill's Ernie brings back the early Seventies instantly.

My suspicions are that few of today's children will actually get to listen to this. It may well only be played once or twice by the Baby Boomers who do buy it, but it's also an interesting slice of British cultural history - Morecambe and Wise's Boom - Ooo - Yattatata will hopefully get a listening from another generation who will only know them from increasingly grainy clips shown on nostalgia shows.

Complete Kids

Search: Oranges And Lemons - Uncle Mac
by: Various Artists

Release Date September 04, 2006
Recommended by friends this 4 CD set has a range of songs that include nursery rhymes, classic 'novelty' songs (eg 'Grandad' by Clive Dunn), sleep-inducing classical, and a rather 'new-age' set that inspires sleep in the recalcitrant infant.
At the moment I play the classical CD in my car and we play the 'new-age' CD to our 10 week daughter to ease her to sleep - it works a treat and the music hasn't started to grate on our nerves. It's not really 'new-age' it's just that I don't know how better to describe it really. The other two CDs we will leave playing until she advances in age.
The CDs come package with a handy track-listing booklet - but wait there's more: to save embarassment there are words for the nursery rhymes. Additionally, ... Read More:

Hello Children Everywhere

Search: Oranges And Lemons - Uncle Mac
by: Various Artists

Release Date October 11, 2004
I grew up in England and we had this compilation on cassettes. Listening to the songs again brings me back to my childhood.

Great, classic English songs that are fun to listen to even as an adult! They clearly have a lasting effect, seeing as I listened to these songs when I was 4 years old, and am now 18.

I would definitely recommend buying this.
