Who are Bare Naked Ladies?

Barenaked Ladies are a Canadian alternative rock band, best known for hits like One Week and If I Had $1,000,000. In 2008, they turned their trademark wit and melodic pop-rock sensibility toward younger audiences with their first children’s album, Snacktime!.

What is their music like?

Snacktime! is playful, upbeat, and unmistakably Barenaked Ladies: clever lyrics, jangly guitars, and harmonies galore. The album features 24 tracks, including both full songs and short interludes, that range from silly to sweet.

Why we think you’ll love it

It’s essentially a Barenaked Ladies record that kids can love too. The songs are quirky, tuneful, and funny, but also heartfelt in places. Standout moments include Pollywog in a Bog, 7 8 9 and Bad Day. Parents who grew up with BNL’s 1990s hits will find plenty of nostalgic charm here, while kids get to enjoy music that’s genuinely silly without talking down to them.

Artist Bio

Released in 2008 on Desperation Records, Snacktime! won the 2009 JUNO Award for Children’s Album of the Year. It marked the band’s only official release aimed at children and families, though it carries the same musical DNA as their adult albums.

The record moves seamlessly between pop-rock anthems, gentle folk-inspired tunes, and humorous interludes. Tracks like Food Party and Eraser celebrate everyday kid-centric themes, while the band’s signature wordplay and energy shine throughout.

Snacktime! remains a one-of-a-kind project: a beloved entry point for younger listeners into the world of Barenaked Ladies, and proof that family music can have just as much craft and personality as any chart-topping pop record.
