Ok, it's [livejournal.com profile] flylikepeter's fault. He posted his favorite Bert and Ernie sketch from Classic Sesame Street.

You Tube: So good and yet so bad.

I found something I have searched for lo these many years. One of Aesop's better fables, set to music and animated in a particular style.

For fun, I'm also going to transcribe the lyrics. Cookies for anyone who can tell me the artist(s) who created this short.





On a cold forest oak sat the crow
with a fine piece of cheese in his beak
full of joy was the crow
with his meal above the crow
As the cold winds blew softly about him
As the cold winds blew softly about him.

Like a flame came the fox through the forest
Spied the crow with a smile and a bow
Said "Hello, handsome crow,
You are beautiful, you know.
It's a shame you can't sing to your beauty...
It's a shame you can't sing to your beauty..."

Thought the crow, "Handsome bird that I am,
I can sing even more handsomely!"
From his wide open throat
with an ice-cracking note (CAW!)
And the fox jumped and ran with the cheese
And the fox jumped and ran with the cheese.

What a beautiful telling of this fable. It's likely to be added to the Troupe's performances if I can figure out how to secure permission.
