Cuckoo! (Moonrise Kingdom choir song)

[yauchiam]

The words to the song are from a traditional song/poem for children.

Cuckoo, cuckoo, what do you do?

In April I open my bill;

In May I sing night and day;

In June I change my tune;

In July away I fly;

In August away I must.

@yauchiam Cool, thank you!

@CaliforniaJoker1 You're welcome. Thanks for posting it up. There is one small correction- in July it should read "In July far far I fly" in this version of the song. The song is from Benjamin Britten's album Friday Afternoons, children's songs for children's chorus and piano, Op.7 and can be purchased here at classical archives

@CaliforniaJoker1 - one correction, In July its - "In July far far I fly"

Another variation of the song by Lissie, from her album "Catch the Tiger": I walked alone, I never tried to stay in line I didn't know what I was doing half the time I didn't know that my life would ever change I didn't think that anybody'd felt the same way And then you came I fell in love with being defiant In a pickup truck that roared like a lion ... They couldn't break us, they could never turn us cold, no You and me, well, we were never growing old

Used to great effect in the Moonrise Kingdom trailer, major kudos to whomever made that decision. I think of Cuckoo's as quite mischievious characters.
