-- The voice for the rooster, Alan-a-Dale, was done by Roger Miller also.

check out the new site (celebrating a birthday also):

In January 1999, it was featured in an Earthlink Commercial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARybJ77ykfc

  • @djSandgirl that's why I wanted it here. It's amazing how difficult it is to find something that used to be so common.

  • Ah, the memories :D
