Summary: "VeggieTales The Ultimate Silly Song
Countdown" is a collection of the silliest songs of all time hosted by
the Pirates Who Don't Do Anything. The Pirates takes us through
the wackiest and hilarious sing-along favorite tunes to find out the mystery
of what is the silliest song of all time. I highly recommend this VeggieTales DVD for all
children, Christians and non-Christians alike. Your children are sure
to enjoy this wonderful story over and over again, as it reinforces good
values based in Christianity.

The Story
For those
of you who are not familiar with VeggieTales, it is a series
of videos geared for children ages four and older and features the lovable vegetable
characters (such as Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber) in their
fun-loving and wholesome musical song-and-dance numbers. Not only will these
Pixar-like computer animated characters (but with less visual detail) entertain the youngsters, they will also
teach them various Christian values. This latest "VeggieTales
Ultimate Silly Song Countdown" DVD release features the "Pirates
Who Don't Do Anything" taking us through hilarious sing-along series of
everyone's favorite songs to find the answer to "What is the silliest
song of all time?". The results are based on an actual survey of
consumers who previously bought VeggieTales videos. Join in the fun and let the Pirates reveal
the mystery once and for all while you sing and dance along with all 10
silly songs including "The Hairbrush Song", "The Cheeseburger
Song", "I Love My Lips", "The Dance of the
Cucumber" from Rack, Shack & Benny, "The Yodeling
Veterinarian of the Alps" from The End of Silliness, "High
Silk Hat" from Lyle The Kindly
Viking, "The Song of the Cebł" from Josh and The Big Wall.
There is an all new, hilarious silly song "The Mo Shoo Song".
As a musical sing along, this latest VeggieTales title is
a smash hit. The songs are incredible catchy and fun to sing along
with. Your kids are sure to love to interact with the characters on
screen. As kids will want to view this title over
and over and over and over again, DVD is the perfect format. It allows
them to skip to the chapters that they really want to see. And parents
will love it too, since it doesn't wear out after repeated viewings and with
age, like VHS tapes do.
