It's not always flattened animals around here, you know

Sometimes, it's this. [Make sure your speakers are turned on.]

Actually, as amusing as this is -- I watched it for hours before I determined it's a loop; learn from my experience -- it raises several vaguely disturbing questions. To wit:

  • Why would one need to go in disguise to view the Teddy Bears' picnic? Are they, like, Bride of Chuckie Teddy Bears?

  • Am I the only one worried about the fact that the Teddy Bears' Mommies and Daddies are concerned enough to come at 6:00 p.m. and put the TBs to bed...and yet they're willing to blithely go along with allowing them to have an all-day unsupervised picnic in the woods?

  • Was Teddy R. really a tenor?

  • As oddly trivial as this project appears, the real issue to be contemplated is that some musical group actually got together and recorded this song to begin with.

Left unspoken is the burning question of why anyone would write a post about this.

Eric,
1) Even teddy bears need their privacy and time off.
2) When this song was popular, the late 1940s and early 1950s as evidenced by its frequent usage on the radio show "Big John and Sparky" Saturday mornings at 8:00, it was a more innocent time when kids could roam without fear of Chuckie, or so those old enough to remember told me.

I still think those bears are into some kind of satanic rituals or something. I'm not going anywhere near those woods...

I've had dreams that were almost this weird!
