Barenaked Ladies

Snacktime 5/6

Like They Might Be Giants before them, Canadian rockers Barenaked Ladies realized that their inspired brand of wackiness can easily be translated to children's music, which is exactly what their latest LP Snacktime is: a delightfully inspired collection of tunes about big sisters, the alphabet and plenty of jingles about food. The album, released on the band's own Desperation label, also features maple leaf-centric guest spots from Sarah McLachlan and Geddy Lee.
