Boogie Oogie Dance Party collects renditions of disco hits by
the Countdown Kids. Though
the Kids sing pretty well for their ages, their voices just aren't developed enough for songs like "The Best Disco in Town," "Turn the Beat Around," and "Good Times," and the flat, overpowering arrangements and productions on most of the other tracks don't give
the Kids' vocals enough support. "We Are Family" and "Knock on Wood" are probably the most successful tracks here, but the concept of young kids singing songs from one of pop music's most decadent styles doesn't really work -- hearing little children sing
the Village People's "Y.M.C.A." is more than a bit creepy. As much fun as it might've sounded when it was being planned,
Boogie Oogie Dance Party is listless, ill-conceived kiddie pop. ~ Heather Phares
