I'd said that I wanted it and had my eye on it, but I begged for it for Christmas... I had already suspected it to be the CD-shaped package under my tree (and I was right!) :P I already knew all of the songs, because I listened to them all on YouTube several times. Actually owning it is many times better though, and I had a great time singing along to all of the songs today! :D
