VeggieTales: Ultimate Silly Song Countdown

We just bought the "Ultimate Silly Song Countdown" today.

As video tapes go, it's essentially the VeggieTales equivalent of a clips show, where they splice together unrelated clips from different episodes with some loose connecting material, and call it a new episode. This is their third go-around at this, and it largely works. The bridging material is clever and fun to watch, and the clips are all silly songs.

That said, I was disappointed by the choice for the No. 1 silly song. It was funny enough the first time I saw it, on "Are You My Neighbor?" but they did funnier silly songs before and after that.

I'd demand a recount, but that joke worked better last year.
