From AudioFile:
These former and current congressional staffers have come a long way--from the halls of power to, well, the halls of power. For their quip- and innuendo-filled song parodies, pointed as a Sam Donaldson question to a dallying president, have brought them full circle as they entertain our government and others. Whether they're skewering past administrations or present, the fun and melodious Steps bring laughter as they bid George W. to "Don't Go Pretending You're Smart" (to the tune of "Don't Go Breaking My Heart") and "Stand by Your Dan," sung by Mrs. Quayle to the tune of Tammy Wynette's classic. A fast-paced disc of fun, highly recommended. D.J.B. 2003 Audie Award Finalist © AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
