Customer Reviews
Well, most of it is new, but...
Having been a HUGE Bill Cosby fan since the second I heard the man talk, I know that it has been a struggle to find the perfect compilation of his best work. I saw this one in the store, and bought it anyway (just because I didn't have it) and expected quite a bit, since all of his older released were fantastic. Instead, I got an album full of new stuff (which was still funny), but I could hear the trim work done. If we're going to get a CD, can we at least hear the entire track. For example, the track 'basketball' starts off "Basketball was invented...in - break here, you can hear the digital trimming - Springfield Massachusetts. Dr. Naismith." THat's the start of Basketball. I think, while it is still a good collection of Cosby hilarity, it could use a little work.
The Best!
I absolutely love Bill Cosby, and to get a good sample of his various works, I highly recommend this CD. You get a taste of his different sides, in addition to toppling over in laughter! I have to say, this is a collection of his most wonderful works. I also recommend Bill Cosby's Wonderfulness. Buy this CD!
Hikky Burr Part 1
Bill Cosby has made some of the most wonderful music I've ever heard. I've only heard Hikky Burr and another song called Litte Old Man and The Cosby Show theme, the latter two aren't on this cd. It's almost imposible to listen to Hikky Burr in the car and not smile. It's sounds like a guy standing behind you at a butcher shop, mumbling about all the stuff he likes there and put to music, "Uhhhh... Ever had any smoldrin? ...mossenrisen? That's good! Mumble mumble... I know!" Those couple songs I've heard are filled with such joy and whimsy, they're wonderful. Hikky Burr is worth ten times the price of the cd, it's a very short song and makes me desperatly want someone to release cd's of all of Cosby's other music, I know records of them were relesed at one point before I was born.
Listening to Fat Albert Gets a Car is like a big hug after eating birthday cake and being tickled.
