Waking Up Is Hard To Do * by Neil Sedaka (CD, Jan-2009, Razor & Tie Music)

I heard this on the "Huckabee" show this week. Loved the tunes when I was in my teens and now I can't wait to share them with my granddaughter who LOVES music and loves to dance. Bravo to Neil !

I grew up with Neil Sedaka, and passed along his songs to my daughter. Although she likes many kinds of music from classical to jazz to rock, she still has a soft spot for Neil Sedaka. When I saw him on TV promoting this new CD, I knew it was the perfect gift for my daughter and HER 2 year old daughter. He takes his old hits, and changes the words to make them 'kid friendly',lets his granddaughters sing back-up and comes up with a great CD for kids, parents and grandparents alike. Here is timeless fun; my daughter said its probably the best gift I've ever given her.

I can sign with my grandkids to a song we all enjoy. It is really cute even my mother likes it that's 3 or 4 generations!!

Never received...order cancelled per seller. Some sort of factory issue with inventory. Credit card was reimbursed. Just disappointed that a seller that sounds as if they have a large inventory, wasn't able to deliver. Shouldn't have it posted as something you could sell.

Nice lyrics changes on Neil Sedaka's old originals. It would have been nice to pair the songs with their original works as some of the originals were better. I wish alittle more effort would have gone into this compilation. I imagine Neil could have written the lyrics in his sleep, and maybe he did. Reminds me of old Wierd Al Yankovic who is probably better at this. I purchased this CD for children who have never heard the originals. Someone recommended it to me. If I had heard it before I purchased it, I would have probably passed on it. I do commend Neil for releasing this cute CD for children. With alittle more work another CD for children by Neil could do well. Mind you that this CD isn't a flop and you might enjoy much more than I did.

Old catchy songs with a new twist. Simple sing-a-long for kids and
adults old enough to remember the 60's!
