Even we’re guilty of the cliché “you’ll love X as much as your kids.” But not today! This enormously silly CD is perfect for little ones just discovering scatological humor (that is to say, poop jokes). But it’s also educational! Like Peter and the Wolf but more fun, this wildly danceable story-album introduces kids to musical instruments, styles, and composition. “Don’t be Silly,” a number featuring dog, frog, and shark sounds, might be the only song here that you’ll find listenable.
Artists use many musical tools and techniques to manipulate our emotions — volume-busting crescendos to amp up our excitement or melismatic vocal runs that toy with our tears.

Eye. Look, Broadway’s had some great dames tread its boards. From Auntie Mame to Eva Perón to Jackie Kennedy’s aunt and cousin living in a dilapidated house, it has been a pretty killer run.

Money can’t buy you class — at least according to (former) Countess Luann de Lesseps. But you know what it can buy you? Roughly two hours in a recording studio, an out-of-work songwriter, and maybe a producer to churn out a medium-to-low-tier song. Throw in a hint of desperation and a guaranteed slot to launch your bop on Watch What Happens Live! and voilà: You’ve got the recipe for pop-culture magic.
