Robert Preston - Chicken Fat

If you went to school in the 60's or 70's, this is probably burned into a little corner of your brain. Allow me to access that little corner.

The great irony here is that Robert Preston sang this song in a lawn chair while eating fried chicken.

This is a great memory, of my Dad doing this with me, such a fun memory for me!! I LOVE Chichen Fat, it was nice and easy!!!!!

This was *slightly* after my6 time (I started Kindergarten in '76), but I love this because it reunites "The Music Man" composer Meredith Wilson with his Harold Hill, Robert Preston.

Arp School, Cheyenne, WY, 1963. I thought we were the only ones who did this 5 days a week.

I think the schools now should require this and maybe our nation's kids wouldn't have diabetes, high blood pressure, fallen arches and weigh as much or more than their parents.

To those complaining about how we were "tortured" with this song during P.E. or recess (during the early to mid sixties for me), remember, most kids back in the 50's. 60's and 70's were NOT fat.

Today, many kids and adults are a bunch of lard-asses, and getting B-I-G-G-E-R.

And schools talk about eliminating physical education programs?????

Mind-boggling.

The first time I heard this song I was about 3 or 4 years old. Mom my played it, and then my kindergarten teacher played it during class sometimes; usually during recess when the weather was too bad to go out and play. I loved this song.
