The traffic light song seems nice and seasonal. Its been awhile for the yodeling duck.

One of the cars I owned didn’t have a radio (it didn’t have a heater or a reverse gear, either, butt hat’s another story) and the girls and I sang in the car. Everything from Rudolph, the Red Nosed Reindeer, to Camptown Races, to Panis Angelicus. Never a yodeling duck, though.

Erik McCurdy Premium Member almost 8 years ago
