As the saying goes..."And now for something completely different." This is a cover. I HATE the original. This will definitely not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's an improvement IMO. If you don't tune out instantly, you have to stick around for the outro.

The chorus mentions quite a few animals. The video has just about one of everything.

Fish have been way underrepresented. Unless I missed it, pretty surprised this one hasn't popped up yet.
Damn stright NW, way underexposed...!

Your comment triggered this memory of the great Taj and his Fishin' Blues - the ol boy hauled in a 9 pound catfish::

Van the Man, Listen to the Lion, from St Dominec's Preview.

IDK, for my money, this may be his greatest work:


One of my favorites. I think we’re brothers from different mothers.

This is the Twa Corbies (two crows) from Steeleye Span. It's an ancient song, first collected in 1611, but certainly much older.

Glad you like it - sounds like we may be kindered spirits when it comes to music. Van Morrison is one very special artist in my book, sounds like yours too.

This is one from another specal artist and fav of mine - Jan Hammer:

A couple 'Snake' titled songs...
Hold That Snake from Ry Cooder, featured on the Streets Of Fire soundtrack.

This is the studio version of the song along with a live video. Kinda strange. In the movie this song was used in, Brie Larsen (aka Envy Adams) sings lead rather than the band's singer Emily Haines.
