This is not to say that children everywhere aren't intimately aware of the Digimon crew. There's a Digimon show that airs on Fox For Kids every single day after school and twice on Saturdays. There's a Digimon Web site and online games and videos and a magazine and the whole hoopla.

A few songs already are known, and there's a heaping helping of G-rated rap. The album contains tracks from Smash Mouth, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Barenaked Ladies and more.

It'll take a month or two until mom or dad are sick of it, and by that time, everyone will be onto something new. Mahlum is a free-lance writer from Bismarck.
