Beethovin’s Wig

We checked these out from the library last week. I laughed until I cried listening to this cd as well as Beethovin’s Wig 2. There’s even a Beethovin’s Wig 3!
If you are a classical purist (what are you doing reading my blog?), you may not enjoy these so much. If you want to hear classical music set with catchy (and often historically inspired) lyrics, you gotta get these or at least borrow them from your library.
The first volume featured something like 11 classical songs. They first play with the hilarious lyrics. Then you hear them all again without. We found ourselves trying to remember the lyrics (and bouncing along just as much) when listening to the “plain” version.
I will eventually own all 3 volumes! What a great way to introduce classical music. You’ll never listen to these pieces the same way again!!!

Oh we loved this, too! It’s been some time so we need to get them again, but it’s a hoot!
