Apparently this quirky animated tale of birds swarming out of a cuckoo clock to force a man to get out of bed has something to do with British history but to us Yanks its just a goofy little cartoon. WARNING: catchy song contained within.

Anyone who wants a copy of this song "Bathtime At Clerkenwell" by (The Real) Tuesday Weld please PM me with your e-mail address and I'll be happy to send an .mp3 to you. After I finish stealing your identity! MWA HA HA HA!

  Hey Indy, was that the very first 'rap' song? I can't make heads or tails of it so I just figured it to be so.

        She shortens it to "Ms. [N(TR)T Weld]". It's manageable.

    ((Hey Indy, was that the very first 'rap' song? I can't make heads or tails of it so I just figured it to be so.))
    It was the second rap song. The first rap song was called "No One Gonna Remember My Rap Song" by Ice E.

  I've translated the "Clerkenwell-speak" but first I had to translate it into Latin because there's no direct translation from Clerkeneese to modern English. So what sounds to YOU like (or something like)
  "Flylee doppledoo da doppledee lee boppin boddl"
  translates as
  "I'm feeling peckish, hon. Did you eat all the dirt?"
  and the chorus
  "dop de doo, dop de deedlee dum"
  is simply
  " Who let the dogs out?"
  second verse, same as the first. Sing it with me now!

      Absolutely! And I also fired it off to the British National Museum of Arts & Languages - Clerkenwell Branch for a final once over and spit shine and they assured me that everything was "dleepledort" or "perfectly perfect".

Never underestimate the axis powers of the cuckoo.
