Lisa Loeb's new career: Entertaining kidsNineties singer/songwriter Lisa Loeb is now a children’s entertainer. FoxNews.com LIVE reports that the bespectacled musician behind 1994 hit “Stay (I Missed You)” is releasing the songbook "Silly Sing-Along: The Disappointing Pancake And Other Zany Songs." “I really wanted to make a record that would take kids away from the computer and bring them together with other kids,” Loeb, 43, explained of her new project. Lisa says the music of her youth inspired the songbook:
“When I was growing up, some of the records I listened to were ‘Really Rosie’ by Carole King and ‘Free to Be You and Me,’ which was a record put together by Marlo Thomas... It was real musicians playing songs," she said. "You listened to kids’ music, but you couldn’t really tell it was kids’ music, and that’s the kind of music I want to make now.” The singer, who is mom to 2-year-old daughter Lyla, wanted to create something better than what's currently popular for that demographic. “Some of it can get a little grating and it kind of sounds like toy music - it doesn’t sound like real people playing," she said. Her illustrated songbook comes with a CD featuring four original songs, and six kids’ classics. The tunes were recorded by Loeb and her band. “We don’t want to talk down to the kids,” the star says of “Silly Sing Along.” “It’s really just about exploring our imagination in a different way, but with real music and real production.”

new career
Seriously? "Silly Sing-Along: The Disappointing Pancake And Other Zany Songs." is not "talking down to kids?" Jeez...another mommy snob. I got news for you, as soon as my kids learned to speak they starting listening to their own music and it wasn't crap like this...
Btw – this is her new career? Does one totally forgotten song she made twenty years ago qualify as her first career?
Teal'c, you've been on Chulak too long! It's To'kra and Rigel 7 has been redesignated P3-746 to account for stellar drift. See you there!
Funnily enough I only know of this lady from doing the "Pretty White Kids With Problems" song on Mad TV a while back.
I remember when that loser Lisa Loebs had a reality show a few years ago because she couldnt find a date, looks like someone knocked her up and split. What a loser, she is a Christian cult member.
What's the matter buddy, still upset that she never responded to all those letters your wrote her from prison? Loser!
@@Richard Fore, just because your dad was my cellmate, wonder who your mama was banging which he was in there for male prositution.
Huh? You'd better try again idiot and this time in the form of a proper sentence. Your ignorance is showing. I see intelligence doesn't run in your family, does if?
Beaten? Hardly. It's does mean that you're an ignorant do()che though. That's a given. Try again moron.
@@Richard Fore...... You just love to cuss on the internet, it must make you giggle like a little girl. It takes real troll talent on this site you rookie. I"l bet you work as a wetnurse on the side and wish you could lactate into your cheerios.
