Join Joe Scruggs in the depths of the jungle for a host of lively songs, wonderful puppet play, and some just plain silly fun. This folksy singer has a knack for tickling children's imaginations, so it's no wonder he's won the coveted Parent's Choice Award four times! There are 11 fun songs on this 51-minute video, and they run the gamut from traditional favorites to fanciful originals. Friends Pete Markham and Jeanie Runion join Scruggs on stage working puppets, acting in character skits, and even performing as featured soloists on some very unusual instruments. Take, for instance, the solo passage in "Old MacDonald" that features Markham on the Mattel See 'n Say"--you've got to see it to believe it! Far from a sedentary experience, this tape will have viewers clapping and contorting along with Scruggs and his audience--try Scruggs's musical version of the game Twister to the tune of "Put Your Thumb in the Air." The highlight of the video is the Cable ACE Award-winning song "Bahamas Pajamas," which features the Psychic Singers, two mind-reading birds with earmuffs "repeating" Joe Scruggs's lyrics to a love song he calls "Love in the Bahamas." You can't begin to imagine what those crazy birds come up with, but you can be sure that you and your child will be rolling with laughter. This video is very different from Joe Scruggs's first video, Joe TV. Instead of a conglomeration of animated segments, Live from Deep in the Jungle shows the real Joe Scruggs doing what he does best--entertaining live children with songs and puppets. This concert video is entertaining, engaging, and lots of fun for the whole family! (Ages 2 to 11) --Tami Horiuchi

Customer Rating: Summary: Joe Scruggs Comment: This is a very enjoyable video for young and old alike. My children laugh
their heads off and sing along with the video. Lots of fun! Customer Rating: Summary: My kids LOVE this video !!!! Comment: What a GREAT find!!! I highly recommend this video to anyone with kids ten and younger. With a voice as soft, and quite possibly, more beautiful than James Taylor, even adults can sit down and enjoy this video with their kids. My ten year old said: "finally, you brought home a video I can watch"; she loves it as much as the three year old. They sing every song together along with the video. A highly recommended video no matter what you have to pay to get it. Customer Rating: Summary: Rare Find - Excellent! Comment: Our family loves this video! This was our best video purchase bar none. Joe Scruggs provides catchy and amusing entertainment for all ages. He really does make you want to go out and see his live performance. Both our 4 yr old and 2 yr old love it equally and we (parents) actually find ourselves singing and laughing along with them! This is a rare find. We highly recommend it!

I only wish Joe had more videos out. Customer Rating: Summary: Thank you, Joe and Pete! This tape is a WINNER! Comment: My 2 1/2 yr old daughter absolutely loves this Joe Scruggs video, along with his CD's. She sings and dances along to every song, and enjoys watching the audience participation (especially to "Put Your Thumb in the air..."). And lets not forget his assistant, Pete...you have GOT to see him rock n roll to "Old MacDonald"! A must-have tape for your children's collection, and mom & dad will enjoy this music, too!!
