Read some of the reviews 9 Dinosaur Songs has received...

THE SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL

"The first of the nine rollicking dinosaur songs featured in this collection captures listeners' attention right away with the jaunty '69 Million Years'. This fast-paced tune places the dinosaurs in a time 'Back before McDonald's, back before TV, back before rock music, and Newsweek magazine.' It sets the stage for songs about 'big monsters' as the T-Rex, stegosaurus, triceratops, ankylosaur, and the archaeopteryx. The songs are filled with intelligent lyrics that accurately portray the lives of dinosaurs. In 'Who Shall I Eat Next,' Mr. T-Rex has eaten most of his relatives and is trying to figure out who will be his next meal. Even a trip to the dietician hasn't helped cure his voracious appetite. In 'Triceratops,' the normally peaceful dinosaur defeats the mighty T-Rex rather than become his dinner. Interspersed with the facts are just plain fun-filled songs like 'Prehistoric Porch Sale,' and the play on words 'Thesaurus Thesaurus.' A good edition to early elementary school collections."

-Veronica Schwartz, Des Plains Public Library, IL

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

"Fun facts abound on '9 Dinosaur Songs' by the Bergman Broom Haywire Ensemble, a compilation of jaunty folk-flavored tunes about the ever popular prehistoric beasts. Listeners get a sense of how long ago dinosaurs walked the earth in '69 Million Years' and learn about the tyrant tendencies of 'That ugly, little three-horned beast' on the song 'Triceratops.' Other tidbits about various dinosaurs' appearance and behavior are also woven into the lyrics."

THE CHILDREN'S BOOKWATCH OF THE MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW

" 9 DINOSAUR SONGS is a unique, unusual and lively collection of folk-pop style songs that are as informative as they are entertaining for young listeners. Included in this enthusiastically recommended music CD for personal, school, and community library collections are: (goes on to list all songs and times). "


-- James A. Cox, Editor-In-Chief

SYRACUSE NEW TIMES

"A witty and intelligent lyricist... Broom has bridged the gap between smart songs and catchy arrangements. The result is an infectious blend of pop and light jazz that catches listeners' attention and holds it."


-- Russ Tarby


"Not only did the kids love listening to the music, they also wanted to draw pictures of the characters and scenes in the songs. The record really encouraged their creativity."

-Elaine Polak, elementary school teacher
Syracuse, New York

SYRACUSE HERALD-AMERICAN

"'Broom wordsmithing makes ("Who Shall I Eat Next?", about Tyrannosaurus Rex,) memorable as he describes the hungry monster: 'What he lacked in mental, he made up for in dental.'"

SYRACUSE POST STANDARD

"Filled with imaginative imagery, intricate word-play and easy-going blending of the three singers' voices often sounded as sweet and natural as the harmonizing of Paul Simon with the Roches.'"

SYRACUSE HERALD-AMERICAN

"Musically, Broom has been compared to the likes of Paul Simon and Bob Dylan, ... Witty, alarming, and insightful."


- Mark Bialczeck

I have received your delightful CD.....thank you SO much for sending it on to me. I intend to put it to good use, especially with grades learning about dinosaurs. I now have something which will tie in with what they are studying in other classes! With much appreciation!

-Carole Rivel, elementary school teacher

SYRACUSE NEW TIMES

"Broom writes songs the way James Joyce wrote prose, with many thoughts and ideas working their way into a creative and informative product."

"I center my language arts cirriculum around songs. You and Kurt are two of my favorite composers so I did 69 Million Years in March. The kids love the songs and it's nice because I can sneak in reading and vocabulary development without their even knowing! We even made a huge mural illustrating the song."

1. Sixty-Nine Million Years - Bergman Broom (c)(p) 2001 DinoSongs Music

Back before McDonald's, back before TV
Back before rock music and Newsweek Magazine
Back before aerobics, back before your birth,
Big monsters, big monsters, big monsters ruled the earth!
Back among crustaceans, back among the squid,
These beasts took their lazy bones and tucked them into bed,
Woke up Monday morning, caught the 8:02
Big creatures, weird creatures lived down the street from you.
Back before your homework, back before your school
Back when the world was one large swimming pool,
Back before aerobics and cavemen came about,
Big monsters, big monsters were looking for food and hanging out!
Back before McDonald's, back before TV
Back before modern art and ancient history.
Back before "The Flintstones", guess who got here first?
Big monsters, big monsters, big monsters ruled the earth!
