That song is such fun when you speed up the album version to 45rpm and slow down the single to 33rpm! :-D

Thank you, Kathy, and ((Hugs Back))

(Of course, to hug you all the way up there in Alaska, I have to fully extend my arms, and really stretch them a very long distance, and violate Canadian airspace, etc.   But that's okay!)     :-)

I never knew any animals that did any songs... Is that even really a thing?

"Giddy Up Go" - Red Sovine

Anne Christine & the Kentuckians answered Red Sovine with "Kitty Up Go" (1966), about a cat who gets stranded at a truck stop. Unfortunately, it hasn't made it to Youtube.

Interesting.   Never heard of that one.   (A google search found a copy for sale here, but I bet you already have that in your vast collection, Fiji Hill!)     🙂

"Tweeter And The Monkey Man" - The Traveling Wilburys

[Fiji Hill]

And here's yet another Lovin' Spoonful song--the animal being the hawks. This New Left canticle from 1968 sounds like a MAGA anthem in 2024.

Revelation: Revolution '69

Well, no one dares to ask them what they do there after dark
And the prize they give to men who kill is a statue in the park
Ah, don't let 'em cut your wings, dear ones, before you learn to fly
Too soon the game will seem too real and then no one will ask why

I'm scared to start
I can't stop my heart
No, I want a revolution

And it's what they do not what they say that screams out "It's a lie"
Better keep your toke locked in your head before your marked to die
Let's hang together then, good friends, or you know we'll hang alone
And the hawks that fly will tear your eyes and rip your skin clean off your bone

I'm afraid to die
But I'm a man inside
And I need a revolution

And I'm tryin' watchin' brothers of mine doin' time for makin' those waves
About evil men who've been sittin' on them, laughin', lovin' the system they've saved
Those heavy-handed, hit-down,< hard-on pushed them to this fight
And I'm tired of seein' our name done wrong when it's us who gives the right

And if looks can tell
Sure as hell
We're gonna have a revolution

Yeah, Watch!

Thanks for alerting me to that site.

LOL! For some reason “Little Red Ridng Hood” has always made me laugh. Thanks.
