We love this video for several reasons.
http://youtu.be/Q_uhzPUN_LwThe shadow puppets are simple.
They have the words at the bottom.
It is Australian and the songs are a little different from all the US versions. These are the versions I grew up with.
They are sung nicely.
I can put this up on the tv and let it run for 45 minutes of music time and there are no awful YouTube pop up ads for James to read. And I don't have to keep looking for the next song every minute.
It covers so many of the essentials.
And lastly, James loves it and requests it. My son does not like music much. But he is learning these songs now.
You can use a website like keepvid to download it as video or audio.
