Earlier I was in this mood where I had this song stuck in my head and I was singing and acting like the rooster in this song.
For those of you unaware on where this song originates, it's from the Disney movie Robin Hood.
I was sauntering up and down our hallway like the rooster, while Spencer was giving me these questioning looks.
I told him it was from Robin Hood and he told me he's never heard of this song, or seen the movie. (I, in fact have shown him this video earlier in our marriage.) I gasped and proclaimed that we needed to watch this movie at once! A classic!
I told Spencer this was my favorite part as a kid. |
I click on the video and I continue merrily with my singing and sauntering.
Then when it got to the real good parts, I began to jump up and down to the beat, flailing my arms when the notes went up and down.
Then after the song was over, we went to bed and I read my new weekly update on Baby Hoffman and how he/she is developing.
"Listen up: Tiny bones in your fetus' ears are in place, making it likely that the baby can hear your voice when you're singing in the shower. In fact, studies have found that babies who hear a song while they're in the womb recognize the same tune when it's sung to them after they're born (so choose your lullabies with that in mind.)
I joke to Spencer, "Baby Hoffman can hear me singing this song! I wonder if the baby will want this song as a lullaby!"
He did not find the joke funny.
Instead, Spencer sung us a Tongan lullaby as we fell asleep, which I think is a much better lullaby than The Rooster Song.
