This video is over 2 years old. I’m not sure whether to be furious or cynically amused that it’s still perfectly relevant.
Anyway, Bacon to Ray Stevens for nearly 40 years of socially-relevant novelty songs.
We have come a long, long way since “streaking” was considered a harmless prank and a suitable subject for a novelty song. Unfortunately.

My brother and a friend of his saw a streaker run by years ago.
His friend yelled at the streaker, “Is it nice out?”, to which the streaker replied, “Yeah!”.
To which my brothers friend responded, “Then leave it out!”
(Sigh) those were (comparatively) innocent times.
And more bacon to Ray Stevens for his version of “In The Mood,” sung or clucked by chickens:

Somehow that, too seems like a comment on the current government. It SOUNDS like our government.
@3 – Huh. I first heard that on the Muppet Show, as performed by Gonzo’s chickens.
Had no idea that was Ray Stevens.
More bacon to Ray, then.
