AMG Review of VeggieTales: Veggie Tunes, Vol. 2

Wonderfully fun follow-up to the first collection of songs from the popular religious-themed children's videos. This 20-track album includes the snarky and howlingly funny "Dance of the Cucumber," set to an Andean tune and during which the unfortunate translator converting the Spanish to English comes to realize the song's performer is insulting the narrator. A terrific lesson in respect for others set to a culturally rich tune. Clearly the composer behind the music, Kurt Heinecke is indeed an intelligent fellow. Another recommended album for the children's musical library.
