No stranger to the realm of children's records, They Might Be Giants have seen success with their CD No! and the book-and-CD combo Bed, Bed, Bed. Their latest CD, Here Come the ABCs, offers up 25 alphabetically themed songs. However, as is their charming way, the two Johns (Flansburgh and Linnell), use the letters as merely the connective tissue, allowing them to pursuit intriguing flights of fancy that consider everything from the relative power of letters and sounds to animal hijinks. Just as they've always done, there are wistful ballads and high octane rockers. TMBG have always been a family-friendly band, and this disc works just fine for adult fans, who can rightfully consider this simply their newest release. --David Greenberger

Excellent!! November 15, 2005

As a long-time fan of TMBG, I often played some of their music to my 16 month-old son. I got the DVD a couple of months ago and my son absolutely loves it - in fact he clamours for it (by waving the DVD remote control in my face urgently).
I think it's TMBG's best work in a long time (and that's saying a lot). All the songs have very catchy tunes and are highly amusing: they'll have you humming after the first viewing. The visuals are also very well produced and kid-friendly.
The musical styles are quite varied - from jangly upbeat kid stuff ("Go For G", "Fake Believe"), to ballads ("D and W", "Can You Find It?"), to rock 'n roll ("Who Put the Alphabet..."), to country-western ("I C U"), to psychedelic ("Pictures of Pandas Painting"), to electronica/dance ("Alphabet Lost and Found").
Every song is guaranteed to stick in your head for weeks to come.
Get this DVD/CD: I highly recommend it for both the kids and the adults in the family.
Love it! March 4, 2007

My husband is a big fan of TMBG and bought this months ago and our son didn't show a lot of interest (he's a bit wiggles obsessed). Fast forward six months and our son is 2.5 and LOVES this DVD. He knows his ABC's and this only reinforces what he is learning from us and preschool. The songs are great and have a good beat and it's something that I enjoy listening to also. It's fun, upbeat, and educational.

Great CD/DVD that is catchy. A must have for the car that an adult can enjoy (versus the Zanes CD's that are for kids only).
Can't reccomend this enough.
 Good Music, Bad DVD March 15, 2006

I bought this CD/DVD combo for my 17 month old son last week. He has only been watching TV for about 3 weeks now. We have watched the DVD twice and we really don't like it. The music is great and my son does dance to it. But the video clips for the letters are not kid friendly in my opinion. There is only one part where the alphabet is said in order, and that is with a robot and a little girl. The robot is hard to understand and the little girl talks like a baby. The song "E eats everything" is good visually and is pretty much in order but it continues to go back to the letter E for the corus. Alot of the skits are too fast for any child under 3 to visually keep up with. My son lost interest about 15 minutes into the program.
We had some friends over and played it for them to see if our opinion was too harsh, and they all agreed that it was too much for a child, and definately not a good learning tool for the alphabet. We will continue to play the CD because the music was okay.
the kids love it February 17, 2006

This is one of my kids' favorite CD's. My kids (ages 2 and 4) know all the songs and are having fun learning letters in a creative way. The CD also comes with a DVD of music videos which is great. It helped me understand some of the nonsense songs a little better. The songs are simple, upbeat, and fun. I would recommend it to everyone!
