After production ended in 1989-1990, Very Silly Songs was released on VHS in January 22, 1991. While this happened, any further re-prints of all Kidsongs videos contained a promo for all 12 titles up to date.
This was the first Kidsongs music video episode that was filmed at Universal Studios, Hollywood. It also aired on PBS as a special presentation on September 20, 1998.
Synopsis[]
Join the Kidsongs Kids on a magical trip to places where everyone and everything is silly. Meet a whale with a polka dot tail, a pig with a wig, and a goat in a boat.

Notes[]
In the album, the arrangement is in its very special order:
- Some of the instruments like the piano, sax, xylophone, and horns are moved to the center.
- The drumset and percussion have more boost.
- In the 2002 CD version of "Down By the Bay" the tune has a lower pitch of -1.
- The bass drum's smack was heard at the very end of the fourth track: "Mail Myself to You".
- The Roland D-50 Patch Breathing Pipe was used for the fife, in which it is mixed louder unlike the other instruments.
- In "Fiddle-I-Dee", the words "Yee-haw" were eliminated.
This was the first Kidsongs title to have all of its songs appear on The Kidsongs Television Show on PBS, within the first 8 episodes.
