Editorial Reviews :
In John Lithgow's most memorable roles, he's played the outsider: the transsexual former football player in The World According to Garp, the alien in Third Rock from the Sun. On Singin' in the Bathtub, he puts the same aspect of his character that's made him successful in those roles--the slightly-out-of-touch wonder at the obvious--to work on 14 children's songs. Backed by a big band (and the occasional banjo or musical saw), Lithgow takes on topics from multiple births (the Alice in Wonderland-esque 'Triplets'), the alphabet ('You're Adorable, A' which recalls Really Rosie's 'Alligators All Around'), and a veritable menagerie ('The Gnu Song,' 'I Had a Rooster,' 'The Hippopotamus Song,' and 'The Inchworm'). He kicks off the title song with a reminder to 'Grab your ducky, grab your toy boat--let's make this fun!' It's a triumph that he manages to do so for the entire album; but be warned--Lithgow's energy level is tough to keep up with, and you might find yourself exhausted long before the album ends.
Buyer Reviews :
Thats what my 3yr old son says at least onec a day. My 4yr old daughter then starts dancing. I can't thank Mr. Lithgow enough for remembering these songs from his and MY! childhood(but I'm only 31). Triplets is great but my mom and I are still trying to remember the movie it was in. And after having this CD for a month I still cry when I sing 'Inchworm' it is truely my favorite song in the world. You know a CD is wonderful when you wakeup and go to sleep singing lyrics over and over. It is kind of frightening that the songs are for kids but I guess thats part of being a Mom and a lover of weird music. If your kids don't love this CD you can send me the extra copies. I have a feeling that I'll be listening to this music when my kids are in college! MOMS-Its great for houswork.
