It was only a matter of time before SpongeBob Squarepants became a star big enough to pull off a concept album. Where so many other megawatt celebrities, be they living and land-based or fictional and sea-dwelling, can get all high-minded and grand when cobbling together a theme for their music, though, our man Sponge proves he's as humble and porous as ever on The Best Day Ever, a 26-track bonanza that delivers us into WH2O studios for a "live broadcast" from Bikini Bottom. Under the phony programmatic direction of snazzy DJ Al Bacore (get it?), SpongeBob & the Hi-Seas--a motley assemblage of characters including Plankton, Squidward, Patrick, Mr. Krabs, Pearl, and Sandy--trot out 13 songs between often gut-busting station-based interstitials (in one, hapless caller Patrick can't figure out he's supposed to turn down his radio to hear). The music and lyrics, if not the intentionally doofusy vocals, are inspired: Brian Wilson (how did they get him to agree to this?) sings backup on "Doin' the Krabby Patty," Flaco Jimenez lends Latin flair squeezebox-style on "Barnacles!," and Tommy Ramone of the Ramones hammers out a punkish percussive number on "Ridin' the Hook." Through it all, even when he's baring his soul in a heartwarming serenade to his tighty whiteys, SpongeBob's nice-guy persona sets a friendly, happy tone: the mood, loud and clear as a seal's bark, is pure best-day-ever celebration; the master of ceremonies works his yellowness, squareness and general dim-wittedness to masterful effect. --Tammy La Gorce

Album Description

SpongeBob SquarePants has his Best Day Ever! All new original music- created and written by Tom Kenny, the voice of SpongeBob and producer Andy Paley, who are accompanied by a crew of legendary musicians - including Brian Wilson, Tommy Ramone and Flaco Jimenez.

The album presents the work of the soon-to-be-legendary animated band - SpongeBob & The Hi-Seas - whose debut record is being previewed on Bikini Bottom's WH2O. With cleverly crafted interstitials that play like a retro-modern rock and roll radio show, mixed with soon-to-be classic modern songs, the album comprises a fun-filled 26 tracks!

I dont have enough time to write something about each of these songs, but this cd is great!!! My favorite songs are: The Best Day Ever, Employee of the Month, Barnacles, Doing the Krabby Patty and Bikini Bottom/Rock Bottom. I reccomend this cd to Spongebob lovers.SpongeBob SquarePants - Season 4, Vol. 1SpongeBob SquarePants - Season 4, Vol. 2

The Best Album Ever!.......2007-05-27

Get ready for an amazing experience that will change your listening habits....then put on this album. The first song is a mind-blower! "The Best Day Ever" seems like a cute little summer fun song but after you get into it you realize that musically it's really heavy! This is like a Beach Boys song that sucks you in with it's cute little beat and lyric and then knocks you out with it's musical sophistication.
The next song is "Employee Of The Month". This is pure power-pop. The Who circa 1966 meets The Turtles.WOW!!!
"Under My Rock" is sung by Patrick. This is classic garage-rock. Rave-up at the end reminds me of The Count Five.
"My Tighty Whiteys" is simply the best song and best production that has been released since the hey day of the Brill Building. Again...this seems simple but it's super sophisticated! My vote for best bridge since "Wouldn't It Be Nice?". Andy Paley and Tom Kenny are a great writing team! This is what's missing from pop music!
There is something for every pop music fan on this album. Guest stars include...Brian Wilson , Mandy Barnett, Nino Tempo , Tommy Ramone, Flaco Jimenez, James Burton , N.R.B.Q., Tommy Morgan , Jerry "The Geator" Blavett
etc..
I never get tired of this record. It's on in my car all the time. I've given it to all my hip friends and they all love it , as do their young kids and their stoner , college-age kids!
It's a HIT!!!!

cd.......2007-05-23

my granddaughter truly enjoyed this we often listen to it while doing chores and sing along

The Best Album Ever!!!.......2007-04-03

We went to a live performance by Tom Kenny, Mr. Lawrence and the guys who made this record down at Amoeba Records in Hollywood. It was fabulous!! The songs are WONDERFUL!!! If you want to get into a good mood, buy this album! The songs are like 60's beach music, which is a perfect fit for Spongebob. My favorite song is Employee of the month, but I also love Plankton's "You Will Obey!!" with it's explosion at the end. The whole album is done like a radio show. My daughter loves to say AAAAL Bacore!!! Who is the Tuneful Tuna, a dj. This CD is great for the entire family and I give it my highest recommendation.

Better than the Beatles White album........2007-03-31

One of the best CD's we ever listened to. Sponge Bob and Crew are at thier best. Pleasant harmonies and nice structure of music. Very pleasing arrangements.

Kenny is the best, in my book........2007-02-16

This album is not my favorite - but I cannot live without it. It takes a prominent place in my Rankin Collection.

still terrific!.......2007-01-04

This cd has all the songs i remembered from my, uh, college days, and they are all still great. i was happy to find it after all these years.

"Peaceful" is the perfect title for this CD........2006-11-03

When Paul McCartney became "Sir Paul McCartney," he invited Kenny Rankin to the ceremony. Sir Paul said that, "No one sings 'Blackbird' better than you do.'"

This is a sweet, jazzy CD.

A great re-encounter.......2005-03-01

I first heard Kenny Rankin's "Haven't we met" in a radio station WFM in Mexico City back in 1986, and I was overwhelmed by his unusual voice and skill on the guitar. Today, I heard this song again in another radio station, and decided to look up for his material. This has been indeed a warm re-encounter with his music.

You Will Love This CD.......2004-02-15

I first heard Kenny Rankin on WNEW-FM 102.7 circa 1967. He is one of the most talented people in the music business. For those of you who remember Johnny Carson, you might be interested to know that he was a guest on that program more than anyone else during Carson's career. Listen to the samples. The greatest compliment is Paul McCartney's: he invited Kenny to his induction the the "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame" because "No one performs Blackbird better than you." His Beatle cover versions are not to be missed!

Not the original, but I still love it!.......2007-03-15

Well, I was disappointed to find out when I received this CD that it wasn't a rerelease of the original album. I saw the title and purchased it without looking at the song contents. OH well, it is still a great album, just not what I was looking for, but I will keep it as I love Dottie West! I hope they eventually do a rerelease of the original album, cause when they do I will buy it...but until then I will make sure to view song contents from now on so I don't do this again!

A Few Fallen Stars.......2007-01-24

With all due respect to the dearly departed Dottie West, and the still livin' Kenny Rogers, this album is in my opinion deserves only 1 star if that. If you like remakes of Anne Murray- with YOU NEEDED ME, and (HEY WON'T YOU PLAY) ANOTHER SOMEBODY DONE SOMEBODY WRONG SONG- from BJ Thomas, to LET IT BE ME- The Everly Bros. The Righteous Bros, and Buck Owens, then you will enjoy this CD. With BREAD'S - BABY I'M A WANT YOU- the only person in my book that has ever done that song any justice is Charly McClain off her 1979 ALONE TOO LONG Lp. Dottie West and Kenny Rogers are good in any respect.. but not here in this Lp. This LP is a few fallen stars of a good hit.

Classic '70's hits.......2006-02-02

This is a great collection of duets by Kenny Rogers and Dottie West, a duo who were hugely popular in the late-70s, both as solo singers and together. This album features their three Number 1 hits, "Everytime two fools collide", "All I ever need is you" and "What are we doing in love". Also featured is their top 5 "Anyone who isn't me tonight" and another popular cut "'Til I can make it on my own". Country fans will be familiar with most of the material here, a lot of pop fans too.
My favorite cut has to be "Let it be me", both singers are at their best on this performance, and it would have been great to use this as the closing track, but een so, this collection is great.

In the 1990's EMI issued a 20 track collection of duets by Kenny and Dottie in the UK which contained both of their studio albums from 1978 and 1979, and ultimately 9 of the 10 cuts here (plus 11 others) however, that is long out of print. The only "extra" you get here is "What are we doing in love", as it didn't appear on either album, but was a single release from 1981.

This CD, however, is cheaply priced, but the music is gourmet.

Budget compilation of original recordings.......2005-08-01

It seems that some customers have been misled by the title, which corresponds to that of the first duets album recorded together by Kenny and Dottie. Although this is not a re-issue of that original album, these are definitely their original recordings. Most of the tracks here are actually taken from their second duets album, Classics, which consisted mainly of covers of famous songs.

So here you get the two big hits from their first duets album (Every time two fools collide, Anyone who isn't me tonight), their last duet hit (What are we doing in love), which didn't appear on either of their two duet albums - it came later - and covers of You needed me, All I ever need is you, Hey won't you play another somebody done somebody wrong song, Let it be me, Till I can make it on my own and You've lost that loving feeling. Some of these covers were big hits for Kenny and Dottie.

Though the packaging is modest without liner notes or credits (this is a budget collection), this collection provides a good sample of the duets that Kenny and Dottie recorded together. Many of these tracks (and some not included here) can be found tucked away in solo compilations by Kenny and Dottie but this provides a rare opportunity to hear their duets as a collection. It'll do until a more complete collection is released - especially at the price.

NOT THE ORIGINAL..........2003-12-05

As much as I love the music of Kenny Rogers and Dottie West, this is NOT THE ORIGINAL album that was released in 1978 under the same title. The original album featured a beige background, with Dottie leaning up on Kenny's shoulder. This is deliberate deception on the part of EMI to make you think you are getting the original album, when in fact, what you are really getting is a compilation of the first album (Every Time Two Fools Collide) from 1978 and their second one, "Classics", from 1979. I don't understand why these companies continue to do this. The same goes for the Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton "Once Upon a Christmas" album. Most of Kenny's solo songs have been omitted entirely, replaced with a Dolly Parton song (Hard Candy Christmas) which wasn't even part of the original LP release in 1984! What's going on? This is precisely the reason I hang on to my old 8-tracks and vinyl LP's, as tired and wore out as they may be. Now, getting back on track here, the ORIGINAL "Every Time Two Fools Collide" album contained these tracks in the following order:

1. Every Time Two Fools Collide
2. You And Me
3. What's Wrong With Us Today
4. Beautiful Lies
5. That's The Way It Could Have Been
6. Why Don't We Go Somewhere And Love
7. Baby I'm A Want You
8. Anyone Who Isn't Me Tonight
9. The Loving Gift
10 We Love Each Other.

That's the way I remember it folks, and that's the way it should have been re-issued. I'm sorry, but either release the original album in its entirety without butchering it up or omitting songs, or just don't even bother. I'm tired of wasting my time and money on deceptive and sly business practices from the music industry.

+1/2 -- All too brief an introduction.......2004-04-09

Given the length and breadth of Rogers' career, it's impossible to provide even a basic introduction in only 12 tracks. This collection is a mere taste of Rogers' musical successes, drawn from across a career that spanned early hits with The First Edition, breakout solo signatures like "Lucille" and "The Gambler," and latter-day successes such as the early 90s chart-topper, "Crazy in Love." Hip-O, a division of Universal Music, has pulled together tracks recorded originally for MCA, Capitol Nashville, and Reprise, representing a broad sweep of Rogers' work.

Oddly, the album presents the tracks in reverse chronological order, starting with "Crazy in Love," progressing through Rogers' solo hits, and finishing with the early chart successes of The First Edition. What's here is great - especially less radio-familiar tunes like "Tell it All Brother" and "Ruben James." The neo-psychedelia of "Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)" is a real kick, mixing the druggy production sounds of late-60s San Francisco with the chipper singing of The New Christy Minstrels.

Those who like this dozen tracks will quickly want to find songs like "Don't Fall in Love with a Dreamer," "Coward of the County," "Islands in the Stream" and many more. As a budget priced entry, this is a quick and inexpensive way to pick up some of Rogers' greatest hits, but it's bound to leave you wanting more.

3-1/2 stars, if allowed fractional ratings.

An outstanding compilation of Kenny's music.......2005-08-27

This is not the definitive hits collection (if that's what you're looking for, compare this with 42 ultimate hits) but it contains most of Kenny's classic solo recordings recorded between 1976 and 1983 while also including a nice selection of solo covers and duets with Sheena Easton (We've got tonight), Kim Carnes (Don't fall in love with a dreamer) and seven duets with Dottie West. I originally discovered Dottie's music because of her duets with Kenny and soon discovered that her solo recordings are every bit as brilliant as these duets.

Taking the classic solo recordings first, the compilation opens withy Kenny's two UK number one country hits - Lucille and Coward of the county, both of which also made the top five in the American pop charts. Apart from Tennessee Ernie Ford (whose hits pre-dated the birth of rock'n'roll), Kenny is the only country singer (so far) to have two UK number one hits. Even Jim Reeves (the only country singer ever to be a consistent hit-maker in the UK) only managed one UK number one (Distant drums) and that was a posthumous hit.

Kenny's biggest American hit (Lady) spent several weeks at number one there but stalled outside the UK top ten. Being written and produced by Lionel Richie, it deserved to do a lot better but perhaps it wasn't the type of record that the UK pop buyers of the day liked. Other notable American hits include Sweet music man, All my life, Love the world away, She believes in me, You decorated my life, Blaze of glory (which would sound ever better as the closing track), Love will turn you around, I don't need you, Scarlet fever, Share your love with me. Love or something like it and Through the years. Notable by their absence are Love lifted me, Daytime friends and The gambler, but all those songs are easy to find elsewhere - if you must have them, buy a different compilation. The collection also includes re-recordings of Ruby don't take your love to town (a UK number two hit in 1969) and Reuben James, both of which Kenny originally recorded as lead singer of Kenny Rogers and the First Edition. The surprise here is that Something's burning is omitted - the original version was a UK top ten hit.

My first Kenny Rogers album was his untitled 1977 album. It is also the most traditional country album that Kenny ever recorded. The compiler of this collection clearly enjoys that album as much as I do because it is generously represented here. Apart from Lucille (the big hit from the album), you'll also find Son of Hickory Holler's tramp (a cover of O C Smith's sixties hit), Green green grass of home (another sixties cover), Lay down beside me (a Don Williams song although Kenny recorded it first), Putting in overtime at home (a cover of a Charlie Rich country hit), Laura what's he got that I ain't got (a minor country hit for Kenny that rarely turns up on Kenny's compilations) and I wasn't man enough (possibly making its debut on a compilation). With that many songs selected, it's a pity that neither Mother country music (my favorite track from the album apart from Lucille) nor While I play the fiddle (another great song that rarely appears on compilations) were among them.

The duets with Dottie are Every time two fools collide (a song that Dottie was planning to record solo until Kenny turned up at the recording session) and covers of All I ever need in you, We love each other, Together again, Let it be me, Just the way you are and You've lost that loving feeling. Notable by their absence are Anyone who isn't me tonight and Till I can make it on my own.

While there are some obvious omissions, there are plenty of less-frequently heard songs that are well worth hearing. Apart from those already mentioned, here you can find You were a good friend, Long arm of the law, While the feeling's good, Twentieth century fool and A love song.

As an introduction to Kenny's music, this is brilliant but even if you've got some of his music already, you may decide to buy this for the songs you haven't got.

A very cheap way to get Kenny's hits........2006-01-29

This CD is great and features ten hit songs by Kenny Rogers. It is a cheapy and very good value, but for those of you looking for more, you might like to know that Kenny's newest collection "21 Number Ones" contains all the songs here and many others.

10 great songs........2004-03-02

"Kenny Rogers" is one of the greats from the classic country era. This is half the collection "20 Greatest Hits" is, but for the price it's good. Plus it still has most of his best songs. Included here is "She Believes In Me", "Lady", "Coward Of The County", and his biggest hit "The Gambler". It also has a few nice duets. Overall it's a nice simple collection for the casual fan. If you need more than this, pick up one of his other fifteen best of's.

The Best of Kenny Rogers.......2000-06-26

This CD has some of Kenny Rogers' best and most popular songs. These are definitely "sing along" songs! The first time I heard the CD, I had to buy it.

The Gambler........2000-06-21

Kenny Rogers Is One Of The Best Singers In Country Music. His Best Song To Date "The Gambler" Went Straight To Number 1 On The Country Music Charts And It Became His Song Of The 20th Century. My Favorite Out Of Them All Would Have To Be "Coward Of The County". Those 2 Are Classic Kenny Rogers Songs. Plus He Has 2 Duet Songs With Kim Carnes And Dottie West. This Is True Classic Kenny.

Good Value.......2000-06-20

If your looking for an inexpensive Kenny Rogers CD with some of his better known songs, this CD will do the trick. It's not great compilation but does include the gambler and coward of the county.

Pleased.......2006-07-31

I was very pleased with this product, my sister recently got married and I was responsible for the music.... I am happy that I made this selection, everyone was happy with the music chosen for the ceremony, I would recommend it to any one looking for wedding music

A wedding minister's review.......2000-01-16

I just love this album. I am a wedding minister and many couples ask me about music for their ceremony. I am happy to recommend they buy this album for a wonderful selection of wedding music both traditional and contemporary performed by orchestras, keyboardists, harpists and others including a lovely soprano. One disc is traditional wedding selections and the other is contemporary. The selections are arranged in the order of a ceremony with choices for each part of the ceremony. The CD would be appropriate to use in a wedding if live music is not planned. I plan to add a link to this site from my website just so couples can check this album out for themselves.

Kenny Loggins Still Has IT !!!.......2007-05-13

Vintage Kenny. You cannot go wrong buying CDs from a legend.

This is Such an Amazing CD!.......2007-04-25

This is such an amazing CD. I've been a big fan of Kenny Loggins for over 30 years now, ever since he was teaming up with Jim Messina. Every time I pick up one of his CD's, I find myself comparing it to the previous ones - and this was the mistake that I made with "It's About Time." It was tough to get the other ones out of my head (how could anyone top the incredible "Leap of Faith" or the amazing "The Unimaginable Life")? Well, this album stands in a class by itself.

When I first played it, I only cared for one or two of the songs. But I had to keep playing it until I really "got" the message behind the songs and appreciated them by themselves. In other words, I had to forget about the previous albums completely and focus on this one. I had had enough experience and faith in Kenny Loggin's music to really give this one a try. Now, after listening to it at least once a day for the past 2 weeks, I can honestly say that it's one of Kenny's best albums ever! He has consistently demonstrated a real commitment to creating and producing quality music for almost 4 decades. Do yourself a favor and pick up this CD. Forget about his previous efforts and simply enjoy this one by itself; it will not disappoint you.

Well, of course ..........2004-08-25

... reviews of Kenny Loggins's new album are written by Kenny Loggins fans. The man's musical life spans three decades. Who *doesn't* appreciate at least one Kenny Loggins song from that long, storied career? No, this album is not "Leap of Faith" or "The Unimaginable Life." Those albums were very consistent in tone and feel, comprehensive chronicles of a man's particular place in his life at a particular time. On "It's About Time," Loggins lets loose, collaborating with Michael McDonald (a long-overdue reunion), Richard Marx and Clint Black. I'm not much of a fan of country music, generally (it's just not my thing), but as someone who appreciates music in general, I can admire the songwriting and, more importantly, the fun that was had in making "Alive 'N' Kickin'." This album showcases Loggins's outstanding voice (the man can sing a falsetto way better than I'll ever be able to) in a number of styles, proving, once again, his range and artistry as a singer. There's almost a childlike quality to this album in its variety, as if he was working on the collection and followed his curiosity where it led him: "Ooh, it might be fun to do a country tune" one minute then "Haven't done much rock lately, let's do some of that" the next, with several of his amazing ballads tossed in because fans love them. Kenny Loggins has nothing to prove at this point. He's a legendary musician who makes music because he loves it, which is abundantly evident when he brings this album on the road. And, unlike many performers, he brings with him a palpable sense of gratitude to his fans who have given him the chance to live -- and thrive -- in a musical world.

Wonderful Undeniable Groove.......2004-07-08

I do not have many Kenny Loggins CD's. I bought the "Essentials" CD's and then found out about this one. I am really enjoying this CD. The songs "fit" into my playlists whether I am playing only Kenny Loggins music or playing other Artists as well. It is always good when I can mesh the music with my mood. So far I have been able to pull out this CD and find something that matched. I would have liked a few more songs.

just ok.......2004-06-24
