· "A FROGGY CHRISTMAS" (Leapin' Records/Macola Records): Two years ago, we got "Meowy Christmas" from the Jingle Cats, last year we got the Jingle Dogs, this year we've moved a few notches down the food chain to frogs, owls, and crickets, courtesy of Froggus "Bud" Lewis, "A Froggy Christmas" features manipulated frog and other wildlife sounds croaking out Christmas melodies. Wisely, the producers play the laughs as broadly as possible with "O Come All Ye Froggies" attributed to Toady Keith & the Oak Creek Boys, the reggae-tinged "Croakin' Bells" to Frog Marley, "Greensleeves" to Madonnowl, and the cheesy organ-based "Blue Christmas" to Elvis Frogsley. The best of the bunch is "O Lily Pad, O Lily Pad," which features a kickin' drum beat and frog and owl jubilee. A portion of the proceeds go to non-profit conservation groups. Fun for the whole family.
