Sing-A-Longs & Lullabies for the Film Curious George

Description

A Sing-A-Long and Lullabies soundtrack for the film
Curious George by Jack Johnson and friends including Ben Harper, Matt Costa,
G. Love and others. Songs include Inside Down, Broken, People Watching, Wrong
Turn, Talk of the Town, Jungle Gym, We’re Going to be Friends, The Sharing
Song, The 3 R’s, Lullaby, My Own Two Hands, Questions and Supposed To Be. Full
length CD with 13 song collection. Admit it: If you had to pick an
artist to give voice to the wackadoo thinkings of a monkey beloved by most of
the American populace over age 3, you could do a lot worse than Jack Johnson.
Black Eyed Peas? Too hyper. Death Cab for Cutie? Too ironic. They Might Be
Giants? Too eggheaded. Johnson, though the object of much rightful jealousy–
here, after all, is a guy who only stumbled into music and vaulted himself up
the charts after a successful career as a pro surfer–turns out to have the
goods to do H.A. Rey, Curious George’s creator, proud. Fans familiar with
Johnson’s earlier discs will recognize a certain laconic sprawl and easy
fascination in his songs that suits the theme of perpetual puzzlement
perfectly (here, let’s not forget, is a guy who racked up fans with songs
called “Bubble Toes” and “Banana Pancakes”). That the music takes a childish
turn barely registers–songs like opener “Upside Down” are classic Johnson,
all wonderment and groove, and the collaborations with friends Ben Harper, G.
Love, and Matt Costa warm up, wink, and scamper off before packing on the
weight of excess meaning. “We’re Going to Be Friends,” track seven, seals the
deal–when you can make the White Stripes sound compatible with the Man with
the Yellow Hat, you know you’ve got a multi-generational winner. –Tammy La
