Mike22650 Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 What the hell is this song about? Among others, Bing Crosby recorded it. "A fish is an animal, it swims in the sea..." "A pig is an animal..." Remember this song? It was used throughout the movie Hudson Hawk by Bruce Willis and his partner to time their burlgaries.

bluesboy Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 It was written in an era before tv where (children's and adults) imagination led to this song... by Johnny Burke and Jimmy Van Heusen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazooka Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 There is a rockin' cover version of Swinging On A Star by Big Dee Irwin (with Little Eva) from 1963. It was Big Dee's one hit, but I remember Little Eva goofin' around with the lyrics (".. One Moonbeam, Two Moonbeams.."). I guess the song is about learning good values and behaviors to achieve success (" and be better off than you are") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fijihill Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 Back in the late 1950's, I once saw an animated version of this tune in a movie theater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
