The song came out in 2004. The video's been out for a while. Now it's in a Honda commercial. And people keep talking about it.
It's addictive. You can't not sing it. Corny? Perhaps. Do you expect Julie Andrews to start rocking the acoustic guitar? Yeah, a little.
But I can't stop singing it. It's so . . . happy. So unlike me that it seems almost wrong that I'm singing it.
Plus the squirrels rock in the video.

And, for balance, this guy made a video for another Grandaddy song, using an Apple II. And I thought the only thing you could do on an Apple II was die of Cholera.

I defy you not to sing "Nature Anthem" for the rest of the day.
It IS impossible to NOT sing this song or toe tap or head bob. It's such a sweet, happy-happy-joy-joy song! It sounds familiar to me...guess I've seen the Honda commericial, although I do not recall it. Anyway, thanks for spreading the sunshine, Gary. And the video is pretty groovy. My cats love it! I'm teaching them the dance sequence where the Gorilla does the simon says moves for the other forest creatures.
ReplyDeleteI love the gorilla dance! The fact that actually dance like that only colors my view slightly.
