Product Description: Anybody who's gotten a boogie-inducing earful of Buzz Buzz will back the claim that Laurie Berkner sailed right past the sophomore slump. On this, her 1998 release, the Ani DiFranco of kids' music, as she's been tagged, inspires still more hands-in-the-air at-home hoe-downs among the 6-and-under set with her evenhanded blend of zany, zingy original songs and well-chosen traditional numbers. Crying out for special mention in the former category are "The Pretzel Store," on which a gang of "twisty, curly, hole-y, and straight" salty characters escape from the clutches of eager snackers in a variety of inventive ways; "Bumblebee (Buzz Buzz)," a surefire vehicle for revving up round-the-living-room arm-flappers; "Ice Cream Cone," a handy directive for Ben and Jerry's beginners ("You can eat it from the side / You can eat it from the top / You can lick it round and round / Like you're never gonna stop"); and "The Cookie Bakers of the Night,"which is bound to get a brood of wannabe cookie monsters mixing pretend batter and waving wooden spoons in the air. Traditionals, especially the rocking rendition of "The More We Get Together," the voices-only "Rum Sum Sum" with its souped-up lyrics, and the bass- and alto-sax enhanced "Erie Canal," roundly impress. Berkner's much-lauded flair for firing up little ones' imaginations aside, what's perhaps best about her is her sharpshooting when it comes to crowd pleasers. Her smooth singing and can't-be-denied guitar chops keep Barney-bombarded grownups from wanting to climb out the car window. With the right sort of luck, the buzz on this record will transcend its title and win Berkner an extended band of intergenerational admirers. --Tammy La Gorce

Customer Reviews
My daughter loves this CD!!!
We had seen Laurie on TV but only knew a few songs so I took a chance on the whole CD. My daughter (age 3) absolutely loves it and wants to listen to it all the time. The whole album is fun.

Great BUZZ!
This is (and I'm speaking honestly here) one of the very few singalong CDs for your kids that won't make you want to tear your hair out when you're listening to it for the 100th time on the way to the grocery store with the kids. The songs are short and catchy, but they don't grate on your in the same way that others do, probably because Laurie doesn't sing with a voice that caters strictly to 2 year old sensibilities. Yet, the songs have that blissfully calming effect on the kids too. I'm not quite sure how she does it.
Buzz Buzz is my son's favorite. I would highly, highly recommend it to any parent looking for a good set of songs for the car.

Another fun one from Laurie
We first found Laurie on Jacks Big Music Show and now we have all of the Laurie Berkner music to date. My daughter and I just love her music. This CD has some great songs on it. My daughter lives Moster Boogie, Pig on Her Head, Ice Cream Cone, The Cookie Bakers, the Valley of Vegetables, and more, and I love Clean it Up! I love how Laurie teaches children through her music and how her music is catchy. I don't mind listening to her CD's over and over.

Not Crazy about Buzz Buzz
This not one of my son's favorite (or mine). We have a few Raffy CD's and some of the Children's Favorites by Disney that my son just lights up when we listen to. Sadly this is not one of them.

Wonderful
My 2 year old son loves this CD. We sing along in the car all the time.
Laurie Berkner is a talent! And as a mom who doesn't tolerate most children's music very well, I was very surprised by how much fun and how great Laurie is! Buzz Buzz!
