Reviews Customer Reviews for Songs I Heard      Such a fun collection of music!      Rating:      I am very disappointed that it took so long for me to discover this CD! "Songs I Heard" is by far my favorite Harry Connick, Jr. album of all time. This is a collection of classic movie tunes, most of them from older children's films. Highlights include a rousing round of "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious;" "Ding-Dong The Witch is Dead;" "Maybe;" "Stay Awake;" "Edelweiss;" "Do-Re-Mi;" and "The Jitterbug." I'm definitely leaving out a lot of great songs here...every single song on this album is a highlight! I absolutely love this CD and will listen to it over and over again. This is a wonderful and nostalgic album for kids of all ages.     Customer Reviews for Songs I Heard Cd      Its Harry! The Old Standards we love!      Rating:      Track Listings 1. Oh!

I'll Never Smile Again Editorial Reviews for Songs I Heard Audio Cd      Amazon.com      This album's full title should read Songs I Heard When I Was a Kid and Never Forgot, as Harry Connick covers a selection of familiar, if unlikely, chestnuts. Who can deny the appeal of classics such as "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" and "Spoonful of Sugar" (from Mary Poppins) and "Oompa Loompa" (from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory)? Connick proves his worth as an arranger, especially on the tracks that get the full New Orleans swing treatment. Boasting several excerpts, The Wizard of Oz must have made quite an impression on young master Harry: "Ding Dong" becomes a zippy big-band number and "Over the Rainbow" begins with a thunderous intro before segueing into the familiar melancholy tune. But the best is the obscure "The Jitterbug," a brilliantly catchy number that had been cut from the movie's final version. Still, as good as they are, Connick's arrangements don't quite match Herbert Stothart's original ones. The CD ends with The Sound of Music's "Edelweiss" and "Do Re Mi," the latter in a swell finger-snapping version. Connick's silliest record to date is also his most warmly endearing. --Elisabeth Vincentelli
