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.
