I've described myself before on this blog as a music snob. It's always my hope, however, that I never become so elitist that the Ray Stevens--or Henhouse Five Plus Two, if you prefer--version of "In The Mood" stops making me smile.
I remember first hearing it in Dr. C.'s Jazz, Pop & Rock class. The tune elicited a big laugh from the class when the ensemble let loose with a loud, "BUCK, BUCK!" Listen for it at the 2:04 mark.
I don't ordinarily pray on this blog, but I will today. Lord, please never let me become so refined that I can't see the humor in chickens singing a big band standard. Amen.
