go, you chicken fat!

Every day, the radio station Mom and Dad listened to would play this song. Written by Meredith "The Music Man" Willson and performed by Robert "The Music Man" Preston, who'd ever dream we kids could hate it so much? Chicken Fat is a bit of cheerleading for calisthenics, exhorting us to lose weight through repetitive motions.

I sent a copy to bedevil my sister, who reminds me that they also played this on KLZ's "Fred & Fae" show, recently mentioned by neonnurse, so I thought, what the heck, and here it is.

If Your Life was a Movie, What Would the Soundtrack Be?

So, here's how it works:

1. Open your iTunes (or other digitized music) library
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that's playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool...

( Let the hilarity begin. )

I've long been fond of Sam Hurt's "Eyebeam" characters, seen here putting right foot in, etc., and not only had this item eluded my (and beamjockey's) attention for over a decade, the capsule description includes mention of www.samhurt.com, so after I put this up, I must go look at that.

(I never knew he was an Eyebeamjockey.)
