I’m so proud of myself. I was finally able to use the Internet to answer one of life’s great mysteries.
Back story:
About two months ago, Mrs. Tygr & I went out to a nice restaurant for our anniversary. While I was standing at the salad bar a song came over the in-house Muzak system, a catchy big-band tune. During part of it I could hear the band members stop playing and sing a line of verse, a-la “Pennsylvania 6-5000”. It took me only half a second to realize what they were singing.
It was the song that Horton the Elephant sings in “Horton Hatches the Egg”.
I was quite surprised to find that this was a real song, rather than one made up for him by those screw-balls at Warner.
Since that time I’ve been on a quest. A soul-rending journey of Grail-esque proportions to find the answers I’ve sought lo, these many years…
Alright, alright. Gawd, I can sound like a load of coal when I get wrought up like that. Anyway, it HAD been bugging me for these past two months, what, exactly the name of that song was, so yesterday I ran through a Google search and after about ten minutes I had my answer.
The name of the song that Horton the Elephant sings is:
Hut-sut Rawlson on the rillerah and a brawla, brawla sooit.
Hut-sut Rawlson on the rillerah and a brawla sooit.
Hmm. Well, that doesn’t exactly clear up the mystery.
But maybe this does.
Carry on. I’ll be here, still fighting to illuminate the darkness.
