Search - Various Artists :: Jojo's Circus (Jewl)

If ever there was a cartoon worthy of spawning a soundtrack, it's JoJo's Circus. It's not that the songs are especially good--with titles like "Where is Dinky?" and "Uncle Flippy Had a Farm" you can't expect much--but in the span of a single listen, 2- to 5-year-olds are apt to pop up, do a "Snake Dance," swing it into high gear with "Jump Swish Shimmy," and eventually "Take a Bow." The idea is for kids to forget they're doing something good for them--exercising. Whether they're on to the grown-up scheme barely matters, because the fun of hoop-jumping and getting tickled goodnight reliably takes over. Recorded stabs at tot-targeted workouts rarely get it right; this soundtrack does. --Tammy La Gorce
