I’ve been making a serious attempt to listen to my Inner Child today.
And my Inner Child has a definite opinion. My mention of Davy Crockett in a recent post was a good start, he says, but it was not enough. He wants more. I suspect he’s gotten overexcited due to the fact that last night I won an eBay auction for a copy of that old Davy Crockett Golden Book I posted about, the one I remember from childhood. That’s what my Inner Child is like. Give him an inch… Bad Child! Down! Down!
Anyway, I checked out “Davy Crockett” on YouTube, and got some interesting videos.
One is the classic Bill Hayes recording of the theme song. I think (but am not sure) this was the version I heard most often on the radio. The lyrics were a little different from what they used on the show.
For you Motown fans, here’s something extremely weird: The Supremes doing “The Ballad.” Why, I have no idea.
And finally, some kids at a camp in Taiwan sing the song. My Inner Child insisted I include it.
And now I have to send him to bed. I’ve got chores for him to do tomorrow.
Have a good weekend.
I don’t have an inner child. I have an inner adult…and I don’t let her out very often!
Lars, didn’t you have a “Davy Crockett” coon-skin cap back in the 50’s? …oh, the great memories of those easy-goin'”good ol’ days…
You bet I did. It remained one of my most precious possessions long after it had lost its tail and my head was too big for it.
