February 11, 2008 | Contests
You know how sometimes a song gets stuck in your head? You know how sometimes a kids’ song gets stuck in your head, and you find yourself humming it all day long, and you hope no one notices?
My name is Mir, and I confess I’ve been humming a song by a band full of brightly-colored dogs for the last couple of days. Yes, that’s right.
If you don’t know the Raggs Kids Club Band, they’re the canine sensation that’s sweeping the kiddie nation—their music is totally kid-friendly but (if you, you know, close your eyes and pretend it’s not dogs) adult-palatable as well, and they’ve got a PBS show good for 30 minutes of peace in a busy mom’s life, too.
Thanks to the generosity of the good folks at Raggs, I’ve got some goodies for giveaway here on Want Not. I have three (3) Raggs Dance Party CDs, and three (3) Meet Raggs DVDs. That means six lucky Want Not readers are going to win a prize this time around!
To enter, leave a comment on this post before 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday, February 13th. One entry per person, please. Winners to be determined by random drawing, so (as always) sucking up won’t improve your chances of winning, but it will make you prettier.
Ready? Go!
February 11th, 2008 at 8:22 am

February 11th, 2008 at 8:46 am
Please help my sanity. These DVDs will entertain my five year old right? And my three year old nephews? Perhaps they will not destroy the playroom? That’d be so awesome.
February 11th, 2008 at 8:48 am
Sounds awesome, and my daughter would love it. Thanks so much for offering this giveaway!
February 11th, 2008 at 8:50 am

February 11th, 2008 at 9:15 am

February 11th, 2008 at 9:15 am
My kids are beyond this age group, but I’m sure I could find a preschooler to gift.
February 11th, 2008 at 9:16 am
I am desperate for some new music for the baby boy…and this sounds perfect!
February 11th, 2008 at 9:17 am

Fabulous! And don’t feel bad about singing along. I was shopping at the local teen girl store (didn’t buy anything–too expensive) and they had a High School Musical 2 song on. There I am, singing along with Troy as I’m looking for skirts.
February 11th, 2008 at 9:30 am
Thanks for the chance!
February 11th, 2008 at 9:37 am

February 11th, 2008 at 9:59 am
My older two have outgrown their Wiggles obsession but my youngest hasn’t found his yet. Maybe this could be it! I wonder if I will regret entering this contest someday when I can’t get a song out of my head.
February 11th, 2008 at 10:04 am
My daughter would love this!
February 11th, 2008 at 10:07 am
What would you call it if you sing along? Singing or barking? My kids do both!
February 11th, 2008 at 10:07 am
I haven’t heard of this yet, but I’m sure it’s my son’s newest addiction! You are looking for rested and fresh today, Mir. how do you do it?
February 11th, 2008 at 10:17 am
Wow! My granddaughter would love some of the stuff!! Pick me!
February 11th, 2008 at 10:23 am

February 11th, 2008 at 10:24 am
My daughter is a big fan of them, and the 13th is her birthday! Thanks!
February 11th, 2008 at 10:25 am
Never heard of Raggs - I’m game for a new form of entertainment for the kids.
February 11th, 2008 at 10:26 am
Fun music! I wouldn’t mind humming that for awhile!
February 11th, 2008 at 10:27 am

February 11th, 2008 at 10:34 am

February 11th, 2008 at 11:03 am
Your giveaways are AWESOME!! Sign me up, please!
February 11th, 2008 at 11:12 am
Ooh! I have to admit I’ve never heard of them, but, then, maybe that’s just a sign of how deprived my little boy is? (I’ve never seen the Wiggles, either…) We could definitely use more music to dance to, though! And he’s obsessed with dogs, so this sounds like a good fit for him!
February 11th, 2008 at 11:12 am
I’ve never heard of Raggs, but I have a feeling that the kiddo would love it. And adding some variety to the music playing in the car is always a good thing.
February 11th, 2008 at 11:18 am
Never heard of them, but I need mommy time!!!!
February 11th, 2008 at 11:19 am
OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This show first started in Australia where my family is from. I still have video of my son dancing to the show at 7 months old. He would pull himself up to the TV when I wasn’t looking. Now my daughter is the same age I have asked my family to see if they could find a CD or DVD so she could enjoy the show too!!!
This really is a great show and I would love for both my kids to be able to enjoy this giveaway.
Thanks so much
February 11th, 2008 at 11:20 am
one of the few words my son can say is “dog” so this would be great for us!
February 11th, 2008 at 11:24 am
Sounds like fun, I’d love to try them.
Thanks.
Kelly

February 11th, 2008 at 12:35 pm
My child is 2 and has no music of her own. Pity her and sign me up!
February 11th, 2008 at 12:42 pm
Of course my boys and I would love to be rockin’ out to this fun music!
February 11th, 2008 at 1:04 pm
If sucking up want help. then I’ll just tell the truth.
I need the DVD to shut up my 2 year old, so I can get some house work done!
February 11th, 2008 at 1:33 pm
Free is fun!

I would love be considered! Hope we win. My son LOVES Raggs!
February 11th, 2008 at 4:31 pm
I’m guessing these would be appropriate for a three year old? You know, to keep him from yanking the cat around, and getting in the fridge, and swiping my lunch even though he’s got his own, and stripping naked to run around the house yelling “I’m a nudie butt!” Please tell me these things will help him sit still for just a few minutes. Please?
February 11th, 2008 at 4:39 pm
My 3 and half year old daughter just loves them! thanks for the contest, Mir!
February 11th, 2008 at 5:03 pm

Raggs sounds like so much fun! My 3 year old lives for music - and hey, if she’s listening to Raggs, that means she’s not asking me for rock or metal.
February 14th, 2008 at 8:11 am
[...] Well, we had 164 entries into the Raggs contest, and now the time has come for me to select the winners. As usual, I hopped on over to my trusty sidekick, and asked for 3 numbers for CDs, first, and then 3 numbers for DVDs. [...]
