These fun songs are ones I grew up with, and now that I have a young daughter she's enjoying htem too. We all start to smile with "you can't roller skate ina buffalo herd", "chug a lug" and the like -- not exactly what happens when she asks us to put on the Wiggles! Sometimes the oldies really are goodies.

THE SONGS IN THIS COLLECTION ARE RE-DO'S AND ARE NOT THE ORIGINAL SONGS-THEY ARE VERY OBVIOUSLY NOT THE ORIGINAL SONGS. THATS TOO BAD TOO BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL GOOD SONGS FROM THE MID 60'S. YOU CAN FIND BETTER. 'SPIDER

Whilst there are critics of this collection, the songs remain what they are: American musical gems. However, I would agree with the concern of those who expected the originals. As iTunes specified that they were re-recorded, I would hope the buyers wouldn't be surprised by the fact. But the renditions lose something in their re-performance. The originals had something else to offer in terms of freshness. I've got an original pressing from Smash which I've meticulously remastered to CD (and to iTunes) and listening to the samples of these cuts, I'm a bit dissappointed in the 're-recording' of the disc. Miller was a treasure. His originals were also treasures. I wish this disc was a re-issue of the first RM's Golden Hits on Smash Records. 3/5 for the fact that it's RM performing and he was always good.

These songs are part of America's vernacular. Anyone interested in American language and songs' stories is going to need to listen to these songs. Do not be put off by the country feel; afterall, that is part of American culture.

I've liked Roger Miller since I was a kid and I found out he was the rooster in Disney's Robin Hood. Still one of my favorite movies. If you have small kids (4 to 8) play them some of these songs like "Dang Me" and "Do-Wacka-Do". They will love them! I did when my dad played them.

This is good stuff, but if you really want to hear the best this amazing artist had to offer, do whatever it takes to get "Big River" Roger Miller wrote every song in the 7 Tony Award winning Broadway musicalof the mid 80's. Truly soul searching, funny, inspiring stuff written for Mark Twain's Tom Sawyer adaptation for Broadway. John Goodman (B4 he was anybody) played and sang, (incredible pipes) a song about the Dad-gummed guv'mnt.

Mr. Miller was one of America's greatest lyricist. His special play on words and rich expressive voice create songs that stay in your head.

Ok, i have been a huge roger miller fan for exactly 3 1/2 weeks and i think of myself as a prtty knowledgeable Miller Miller fan. so, when i heard that he was releasing his best songs, i was understandably wetting myself every half hour. i pop in the CD and i get a shotgun blast of crap to the face. stupid spawn camper. i tried to hack my way thru this, but it was hard since he had 2.0 on and i was running 1.8. i DO NOT remember the chime solo in chugalong from 1942. roger miller is a boy-band sell-out.

I normally do not like country music, having been 'tortured' by my parents listening to the likes of Johnny Cash & Hank Williams (sr). However, the songs of Roger Miller are a joy to listen. Friendly, happy, toe-tapping and sing-along are attributes I would give to songs such as 'King of the Road', 'Dang Me', 'Chug-A-Lug', 'Do-Wacka-Do' and 'You Can't Roller Skate In a Buffalo Herd'.
