"Big Trouble" One of the best children's albums in existence.

 

I used to listen to this album when I was younger. I've recently been playing it again for my children and it's pretty awesome to listen to as an adult. 

"When I was a dinosaur" kicks off the album and it's just great. In fact, all the songs on the album are winners. 

My kids favorite is "Big Trouble" about a boy who knows he's getting a beating when his parents return and has a tall tale of monsters coming over who destroyed his home. 

But there's many other songs to make you laugh. "The Cat Came Back" is a tale of a lady trying to get rid of her cat. And despite all her attempts (even killing it) it comes back. 

"I think I'll need a band-aid" is the rally call for my children. Who's mother gives them a band-aid even when it's not needed. We go through a box a week easily. The chorus to this one will have you humming it in reptation all day. 

"What I want is a proper cup of coffee" is a tongue twister that's so fun to listen to, you'll go back and play the song over before moving to the next song. I swear one day I'll get it. 

"The Window" is my brother's favorite song on the album, as the duo sings nursery rhymes that  ends with something (or someone) being thrown out the window. Hilarious. You'll quickly find yourself singing other nursey rhymes to throw out the window after the song it over. 

"Pica de Gallo" was my #1 song for the longest (until recently) It's THE BEST! A song so catchy you'll find yourself singing it at work days later. 

"Nobody" is a song about a kids imaginary friend called "Nobody" it's the sadest, yet most hilarious song I've ever heard. If I ever heard one of my kids singing it, I'd be worried though. 

"We are the Dinosaurs"  "Day Care Blues" and "Teddy's Bears Picnic" are the only songs on the album I'd skip. They neither funny or catchy.  In fact, it's odd that such a witty duo dropped the ball by adding these songs to pad time for the album. Without them, this album's a perfect 10. No question. 

But the finest, heart warming song you'll ever hear is their finale "Lullaby" which is a masterpiece. About a parent putting there child to bed. It's soothing and heartfelt. I absolutely adore it. My favorite song on the entire album. Beautiful.
