Ukulele Baby!

It seems like everyone is catching ukulele fever these days! Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam fame recently released his album Ukulele Songs but did you know that the The Wiggles beat him to it by 2 weeks with the release of their latest album called Ukulele Baby?

This album is like a Hawaiin shirt bursting at the seams with aloha spirit. Kids will love dancing and singing along with uke-heavy songs like "When I Strum My Ukulele" and "You Can Play the Ukulele." If you don't have a ukulele, have fun playing the air ukulele together!

Get ready to sail far and wide as you listen to Ukulele Baby! The Wiggles don't limit themselves to ukuleles as the title of the album might suggest. "Ooki, Ooki, Ooki, Hear That Old Bouzouki," is a nautical tune featuring the bouzouki, a stringed instrument similar to a lute that dates back to Ancient Greece.

This is an album that both kids and grownups can both enjoy and listen to over and over again. There are some very nice instrumental songs on the album that are fun to listen to. You can just enjoy listening and dancing along with them or you could try making up your own words to go with the music. Have fun!
