Reviews Customer Reviews for Rockabye Baby Lullaby Renditions Of The Beatles      Just average lullaby cd      Rating:      Nice change for parents from the usual lullaby cd's, but not a top pick for putting baby to bed.     Customer Reviews for Rockabye Baby Lullaby Renditions Of The Beatles Cd      Lullabies across the Universe      Rating:      At first,"Rockabye Baby: Lullaby Renditions of the Beatles" sounds like a cheesy concept album. In its own campy way, it works. The Beatles, in their psychedelic period, wrote kid-friendly songs like "Here comes the sun","Strawberry fields","Yellow Submarine" and the cosmic lullaby/meditation "Across the universe." Thankfully,these songs are on the album, albeit in the form of mellotron and glockenspiel. The Beatles kids' version is superior to the other compilations highlighting Metallica and Nirvana, simply because of the nature of the Fab Four's material. True, it's dumbed-down and slowed-down,but better than having to explain Kurt Cobain's life to the young 'uns or telling them the lyrics to Metallic'a "Anesthesia: Pulling Teeth." There are some odd omissions,such as "Lucy in the sky with diamonds","Octopus' Garden","Mr. Kite" and "Penny Lane." More kid-friendly songs from the Liverpool quartet. Luckily,they omit "Sexy Sadie","Why don't we do it in the road?" and "Eleanor Rigby." Still,this is a somewhat New Agey,dumbed-down version of the Beatles. Why not introduce kids to the originals instead? I grew up listening to the Beatles... so why not cross Abbey Road?
