Some of rock music's most memorable vintage performances rely on arresting vocal treatments and truly classic lyrics. Oldies for Kool Kiddies highlights a handful of such tunes, from "Monster Mash" and "Locomotion" to "Alley-Oop" and "Rockin' Robin." The innocence of those performances leaps off the disc into the hands of the kids (the Wee-Bops) and grownups as they discover tongue twisters like "Papa Oom Mow Mow" and the kinetic magic of "Blue Moon," perhaps one of the few genuinely fun-sounding tunes about heartbreak in the history of pop and rock. Throw in "I Love Onions," "Lollipop," "Splish Splash," and the never-out-of-style "Duke of Earl" and you've got a collection your kids will be itching to share with the whole neighborhood. –Martin Keller
