Austin, Texas’ Asylum Street Spankers are a neo-Vaudevillian act known for their fantastic musical chops and raunchy, drug-happy humor. Their charismatic stage presence, gee-whiz wordplay and encyclopedic knowledge of musical styles are a natural fit for entertaining children, but songs like “Shave ‘em Dry” and “Wake n’ Bake” can be a little difficult to explain to Junior.

The Spankers stepped into the family-friendly arena in 2007 with Mommy Says No! a 12-cut record featuring everything from ragtime to punk and lunchboxes to boogers. The album has the same wit and wisdom that adult fans of the Spankers know and love, while addressing the joys and pains of growing up from both a child and adult perspective.

The instruments on the album range from fiddle to washboard, ukulele and hand saw, while the tunes are a range of American musical styles. The punk rock title track will probably have the kids screaming along with lyrics about wanting to eat ice cream or play outside, but “Mommy says no!”

Both kids and parents will enjoy the silly banter in the middle of the bluesy “You Only Love Me for My Lunchbox,” particularly Wammo’s riff on “sugar-coated chocolate-covered pizza pickle bites.” But parents probably shouldn’t attempt his “pleasant mother pheasant plucker” tongue twister, for fear of an inappropriate misstep.

“Training Wheel Rag” and “When I Grow Up” channel New Orleans jazz, and “Super Frog” is a light-hearted campfire song. “Sidekick” is a sweet plea from a younger sibling and Harry Nilssen’s “Think About Your Troubles” provides a soothing, philosophical closer.

This is not the best Asylum Street Spankers album, but it is entertaining and will have your little ones serenading you with the delightfully icky “Boogers” from the back seat.

Mommy Says No! is available at asylumstreetspankers.com and on iTunes.
