Aside from Barney-esque rips of the Godfather of Soul (&#8220;Popcorn&#8217;s Got a Brand New Bag&#8221;) and whoever wrote &#8220;If You&#8217;re Happy and You Know It&#8221; (&#8220;I Wanna Grow Up and Be Like a Tree&#8221;),  this more than cute collection contains songs that are sure not only to entertain (&#8220;The Tickle Monster&#8221;) but also edify (the bilingual title track and the geographical &#8220;Let&#8217;s Go to Goosy Galpa&#8221;).<\/p>\n<p> Though the music may be beneath the talents of Jazz master Ben (who reveals his previous proclivities in the gentle swing of &#8220;The Yellow Bird&#8221;), elements like the vocal track recorded by Leo in 1984 (&#8220;Pushing and Shoving&#8221;) are charming and pleasant at the very least.  <\/p>\n<p><font size=\"1\" style=\"font-size:10px\">\u00a92003, M.
