A Day Full of Songs

Product Information

Released in April 1992, Yankovic's seventh studio album Off the Deep End helped revitalize his career after a decline in commercial success in the late 1980s, [12] peaking at number 17 on the Billboard 200, [7] earning a platinum certification from the RIAA, [5] and producing the Billboard top 40 hit " Smells Like Nirvana". Demme also considered including more shots of the audience reacting to the performance, as is traditional in concert films. The combination of short songs, other kids and then a few familiar characters and animals retains her interest. Leonard Maltin gave it four out of four, describing it as "brilliantly conceived, shot, edited and performed" and "one of the greatest rock movies ever made. Yankovic's first single, " My Bologna", was released in 1979, and he made his chart debut two years later with his second single, " Another One Rides the Bus", which peaked at number four on the Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart.

Stop Making Sense is considered by many critics to be one of the greatest concert films of all time [4] and a cult classic. She participates in the dancing and no matter how many times she's watched it, she smiles and joins in with the activities in her own way. Yankovic's third studio album, Dare to Be Stupid, was released in June 1985, peaked at number 17 on the Billboard 200, [7] and produced six singles, the most successful being the Hot 100 hit " Like a Surgeon".Very loud singing even at a moderate sound level, was expecting it to be of this time not from what looks be 80s maybe?

Robert Christgau noted the "sinuous, almost elegant clarity" of Demme's direction, while writing that the film had pushed the "limits to how great a rock concert movie can be . I bought this DVD to entertain an under 2 who really likes singing and in particular songs with a dance or interactive aspect to them. The Astor Theatre in Melbourne, Australia has made a tradition of playing it as part of a "Stop Making Sense Dance Party" every January since 2016. It's quite fast moving, which is good in that it packs loads of songs in and you don't get chance to get bored with each song before it moves on to the next one, however on the down side of this, I do feel that the songs are sung a little bit on the fast side for little ones (or grown ups) who are just learning them and trying to keep up with the words.We've passed the DVD to her parents and are purchasing a replacement copy for the nursery in our house. Demme had considered additional shooting on a soundstage made to recreate the Pantages Theatre, but the band declined to do this, as they thought the lack of audience response would have hindered the energy of their performance. It is jam packed with loads of well known nursery rhymes, traditional songs and more modern TV themed children's songs. I was shocked at first at the dated look but the DVD became a firm favourite, 3 and 1 year old singing and dancing to all the songs.
