Album Description
Contemporary, fun, educational and heartwarming, Milkshake's debut recording "Happy Songs" is a potpourri of activity songs, upbeat inspirational rock songs and lullabies released on Deck Party Music. Milkshake's original songs are based in the pop-rock genre, and influenced by both the years spent performing tuneful, melodic music in their rock band alter ego Love Riot, and the classic sounds of great groups like the Beatles.

Child Magazine, December/January 2003
"Happy Songs" was included in Child Magazine's list of "Stand-Out CDs of 2002."

Scholastic Parent & Child Magazine, February 2003
"Children can clap and sing along to lively songs that follow the course of a day...

Customer Reviews

A "must-have" for music loving families!!
We saw Milkshake when they performed at the Children's Museum in NYC, and my 3 yr old daughter loved the music (and the show!!). We bought the cd when we came home from our vacation, and as soon as she heard the 1st song, she recognized it and started clapping and singing along. ("La la la...") My 5 yr old son is also a fan now. The cd is simply wonderful, and very easy on adult ears as well -- great for those of us weary of the sugary, irritating kids' music to which we are usually subjected. Here's hoping for another release from Milkshake!!!

Come on along, buy some Happy Songs!!!
This album is the perfect mix for families. Notice I didn't say "for KIDS", I said for FAMILIES!! As an avid music listener, I was dreading having kids and having to listen to that purple dinosaur or other saccharine aural pacifiers, but Milkshake has saved my ears (halleluyah!). My 2.6 year old LOVES both albums and I enjoy listening to them too. Happy Songs is the perfect blend of hit songs (the title track has graced the XMKids Top Thirteen Under Thirteen for a good long time), silly songs (Anyone for some yummy critter fritters in "Breakfast Time"?) and good quality melodies that rival the likes of Jewel and Ani DiFranco. Do yourself and your kids a favor, buy both Milkshake CD's, force them to listen to them once through and you'll be chucking those dinosaur CD's out the window [ED: Author does NOT condone littering] in no time at all.

Happy songs cd by Milkshake
I have both of Milkshake's cd's, Happy Songs and the new one, Bottle of Sunshine, and I love them. My four year old is constantly singing and dancing to them, and has been enjoying Milkshake since she was two. I, too, know all of the words to the songs, and enjoy listening to them (unlike some other children's music which is not as pleasing to the ears of parents). I highly recommend both cd's.
