"Somebody Come And Play" Today
I first heard the song "Somebody Come And Play" at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. It was performed by Sesame Street characters Big Bird, Rosita and Elmo with a live full orchestra. It sounded amazing, and catchy too. Of course I then wanted to hear the original version from the television show, and thus found this DVD- Sesame Street Sings Karaoke.

And what a lot of fun it is. You see, on Sesame Street, there's something in the air that makes everyone want to sing. And just to start things off right, the DVD starts with the full version of my favorite Sesame Street song "Somebody Come And Play". Elmo and Rosita have a playdate but can't find in each other, and so break into this very cute song.

We then move on into the evening and the main part of the Karaoke show where the Sesame Street family are gathered together. Various Sesame Street favorites are performed by our Sesame Street friends: Rosita sings "You Say Hola" as does Gloria Estefan, Gabi and Miles sing "New Way To Walk" as do Destiny's Child, Telly and Baby Bear sing "Let's Go Driving" Gina and Elmo sing "Ladybug Picnic", Bob sings "People in Your Neighbourhood" as does Ben Stiller and Elmo sings "ABC-DEF-GHI". There's more too. It's also perfect singing learning for kids and adults in that we can learn through the Karaoke mistakes that the Sesame Street characters make.

Note that there are no on-screen lyrics for we the audience. The Sesame Street gang have their lyrics if they need them on their screen, but we don't on our screen. Perfect excuse to simply re-watch the DVD again and again.

All in all, a very enjoyable DVD and possibly the best Sesame Street DVD out there.

My son loved it!
I would give this DVD 5 stars, but Elmo's voice just unbearable!
My son though is in love with this program. He asks to see it all the time and would dance with the characters. The only complaint - the "Destiny's Child" appears for exactly 30 seconds in one of the musical numbers - I thought they would sing at least one full song - not part of it. Of course, this is irrelevant for the young ones - they do not care who is singing as long as it is a nice tune.
