Do You Like Foods? (mp3s)

Recently I acquired two CDs with children's music, Songs About Me and More Songs About Me on New Jersey-based label Kimbo Educational. (Don't ask me why, it is a long story involving a fellow ex-DJ at WCBN and the sex life of the platypus.) The liner notes have this to say about the man behind these 1974 recordings: "William C. Janiak, Registered Music Therapist, has the distinction of not only being a highly skilled, creative and recognized composer and lyricist of materials for training the handicapped, but he is also a published author, musician, educator and outstanding demonstrator of his teaching concepts." He is indeed a skilled and versatile composer and musician, here is the proof in form of four mp3s:

Do You Like Foods: Do You Like Meat? | Do You Like Foods: Do You Like Fruits? | Do You Like Foods: Do You Like Vegetables? | Do You Like Foods: Do You Like Desserts?

The liner notes have detailed instructions how to use these songs with children, e.g. they are allowed to say "No, I don't" instead of "Yes, I do". For the dessert song it also has a list of possible discussion topics: different kinds of pies, cookies, ice cream flavors, brand names, TV commercials, desserts as snacks.

Here are my instructions for the readers of this blog:

1. Listen to all four songs in a row without interruption. Do you notice any similarities? Are you going insane?
2. Keeping in mind that this was released in New Jersey, listen to all versions of the New Jersey state song.
3. Please tell me what's wrong with New Jersey.
