DJ Jackman Wolf is your host for this hip and happenin’ lesson in the two R’s: ROCK & ROLL. Sing, dance and laugh along as your Sesame Street friends phone in their favorite music video requests: Bert digs "It’s Hip To Be Square." The Count’s #1 favorite is "Count Up To Nine" and Oscar’s grouchin’ and groovin’ to "The World Is ‘No’." But wait, that’s not all! You’ll also get Grover’s "Monster In The Mirror," "Rock ‘N’ Roll Readers" by Chrissy and the Alphabeats and many, many more. Kids from 1 to 91 will love the sizzling sounds of Sesame Street’s Rock & Roll!

Good fun and so cute. You won't go insane if you have to watch it repeatedly!
My son LOVED this one! He sang to it non stop. It was great fun and on the parent scale for "repeated watching without losing your mind scale" it rates very high!

HOW TO GET THE KIDS TO ROCK!
As a rock and roller, I definately like to recommend stuff that rock and roll parents can enjoy with their rock and roll kids. The title here says it all. Rock and Roll.
Sesame Street has been the tops when it comes to rockin kid songs since the sixties man!
THE WORD IS NO song is sung by a non muppet, and a pretty cute non puppet at that. Gina, from back in the days when she was a ripped jeans wearing teenager on the show in the eighties. I like it. Holds up.
Others hold up too. MONSTER IN THE MIRROR, TELEPHONE ROCK, the Rolling Stones parody (I Cant Get No) COOPERATION (the Mick Jagger muppet is hillarious!), or the HIP TO BE[a]SQUARE song.
Admittedly there are quite a few missing, as I have over the past years since having a baby worked on collecting as many Sesame Street rock videos as I can... a personal favorite that is missing is the Bruce Springsteen parody Baby We were Born To Add...or the "now I am a Cereal Girl" or even the Alice Cooperish "Theres 18 sandwiches and I dont know what to do"... but this is a great start, containing a dozen or so ROCK songs for kids, and I have no problem tossing in this one, cranking up the volume, and getting down with the Muppets. Cuz they know how to rock the cradle, man.
Also props to the main character here. A DJ known as Jackman Wolf (get it?) who has sort of a secret appetite for eating little piggies.

Didn't Capture the Kids
My kids love Elmo's World and other various Sesame Street DVD's. This one just isn't one of their favorites. It doesn't capture them, but I enjoy it. My kids are 2 & 3 but it just doesn't keep their interest.

SESAME STREET ROCKS
My favourite segment on this DVD is The Telephone Rock with Jerry & The Monotones.I always loved their segments.
My second favourite is The Word Is"No"with Gina and Maria.

We're rock and roll readers!
Once again the CTW does it for the kids (fun songs) and the grownups (lots of sly pop references).
Jackman Wolf (see?) takes requests from everyone: Bert, Oscar, and (my favorite Street hottie) Gina, for whom Jackman plays both Chrissie and the Hearbeats's masterpieces "You're Alive" and the brilliant "Rock and Roll Readers" ("when we're not onstage we're likely to be/making an appearance at the library"). Other standouts are "(I Can't Get No)Cooperation" by... wait for it... the CobbleStones, and the "No" song featuring Gina and Maria.
No ABCs or counting on this one, just fun fun fun! And best of all... NO ELMO!
