Music : A Barrel Full of Monkees
1 2
Rating: 
- MONKEE-ING AROUND
THE MONKEES-BARRELFUL OF MONKEES/MONKEES SONGS FOR KIDS!: Since the Pre-Fab Four were always wacky, charismatic, and yes, funny on their fast paced TV series, this Kid Rhino (retro-label kings Rhino Records' small fry division) roundup of tunes for tots makes perfect sense. Several choices are delightfully demented, none more so than Mickey and Davy's call and response mad libs on GONNA BUY ME A DOG and the rare Peter Tork lead vocal on YOUR AUNTIE GRIZELDA (alas, PETER PERCIVAL PATTERSON'S PET PIG PORKY is nowhere to be heard here). Bread head David Gates' SATURDAY'S CHILD and Mike Nesmith's countrified PAPA GENE'S BLUES sound considerably straighter, but are nifty pieces of pop craftsmanship nonetheless. Interestingly, the dreamy PORPOISE SONG (heard originally in that semi-legendary failed Monkees movie project HEAD) appears in a solo version from the album MICKEY DOLENZ PUTS YOU TO SLEEP; final cut PILLOW TIME (also sung by the Monkees' talented timekeeper) will also encourage nodding off (in a good "bedtime story" sort of way). Pop this CD in betwixt your youngin's next Britney/Backstreet fix, and you might not be the only one smiling. RATING: FOUR MONKEE FLIPS

- Monkees - 'Barreful Of Monkees' (Rhino)
Twelve songs aimed toward the younger pop fans.A couple of novelty cuts include the down right silly "Gonna Buy Me A Dog"(a different version than what I remember)and "Pillow Time".Best tracks as far as I'm concerned are "Your Auntie Grizelda","Laugh" and the somewhat jamming "Saturday's Child".Wonder why they've never performed that song live.
Rating:
- "It's a wonderland for Alice...."
"Pillow Time," sung by Mickey Dolenz, is the best cut on the disc: a sweet, sly, jazzy tune persuading a child to sleep with visions of a "sleepy train" coming to collect them. And thus ends this terrific cd for kids. Opening with the boistress "Monkees Theme," and filled in the middle with such yummy selections as Carol King's "Your Auntie Grizelda" and Mike Nesmith's "Papa Genes's Blues," this is the perfect cd for your kids or the kid in you!
Rating: - the monkees kick Butt
this cd features some of the best and maybe some of the worst monkees songs ever. the theme. totally cool. gonna buy me a dog. totally funny. apples peaches bannannas and pears. ok for a monkees song. your aunrie grizelda. boring. teeny tiny gnome. boring. the rest are all great. but the only song they should have trashed is pilliow time. it is so boring about baby stuff . but its still a great asset to all there albums. get this cd today. you probely won't be dissapointed.
Rating: - Great for children!
I thought this cd was very good considering what the Monkees were about back in the day. The songs are great for children to listen to and just have fun.
