Thread Name: Songs for cattle
Subject: RE: Songs for cattle
What a great idea for a thread!

I do have a fondness for "Winter Cows" by John Gorka, the image of" white cows lost in the snow" has haunted me for years.

But then there's Tanglefoot with "Radioman," (CAPTURED LIVE) which tells the tale of a young farmer who sets up a massive radio in his dairybarn, and the cows love it. Milk production soars! And the old bull gets off on the sports and ragtime. But then the mice sabotage the radio; it no longer receives Canadian stations, just the stations from the States. The cows adjust but the farmer has his doubts. Hence the title of the song, the appeal for the repairman.

Then there's the old ditty that my brother and I used to sing in the dairybarn, titled "Pass the Other Udder Over to me Other Brother."

Are there any more dairy airs?

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
