My Shiny Monkey

 

Shake it, shiny monkey...

We love to dance and shake it up like no one is watching, so we were thrilled to hear about an opportunity to review a CD by the stars of Disney Channel's hit television series "Shake It Up". Bella Thorne (the redhaired one) and Zendaya (the sassy brunette) created this CD for kids like Liv so they can enjoy the music from their favorite hit show no matter where they go.

Shake It Up: I<3 Dance is a fun, high-energy collection of 12 dance-able, monkey tail-shaking tracks - all music from the show right at your fingertips.  You can 

In addition to Bella and Zendaya, Disney stars Selena Gomez, Bridgit Mendler, Roshon Fegen and Caroline Sunshine lend tracks along with Coco Jones (one of our faves), McClain Sisters, and many more. The soundtrack will give you hours of fun music for only $9.99 on iTunes or $9.49 on Amazon.

"Contagious Love" may be one of our new obsessions (see vid below with some pretty awesome dancing)... but you make up your own mind. Here's a list of all the tracks so you can preview online and tell us what YOU think... we want to know!

Contagious Love on Disney Video

Review results: We are going to give this CD four out of five bananas... one more banana would be granted if there were a more diverse mix of music or even a ballad, or some world music beats, or something that broke up the style of music a teeny bit. We love our beats to be as diverse and eclectic as we are!
