Cockadoo sunny day, down here on the farm!
This damn song has been stuck in my head FOR THE PAST WEEK.


Seriously fellas, I was trying to conduct serious business at work, and right in the middle of important CSS coding, the chorus of 'Sun do shine, sun do shine, sun do shiiine!' would unrelentingly course through my skull!

ARGH!

I have to admit though, the song is damn catchy! The yodeling in the beginning never fails to make me smile and begin tapping my foot every time I hear it. That's probably the reason why it chose to drop anchor and set port in my noggin. :)

Out of sheer curiosity, I learned that the voice actor for Chanticleer the Rooster is none other than Glen Campbell, who was a peachy keen folksy singer back in the '60s and '70s (not unlike Jim Croce and John Denver).

But what, may you ask, is he most famous for?

"Rhinstone Cowboy", baby.


I personally prefer "Wichita Lineman" myself for easy early '70s AM Radio listening, but that's just me. ;)


Honestly, though?

Neither of these top singing about big ol, wet ol' rain clouds. ;)

Awww, I love this commercial! I watch the Discovery Channel often, and I never get tired of this bumper... So clever and well-written!

I love Egpytian kings...

you know, the first time I heard it, I swear she said 'mummified kings' or Egyptian Mummies... and if you watch her mouth... it doesn't match what she's singing.

I too watch lots of discovery... (and TLC).
