This reminds me of Santa Cruz somehow.

  • Was Joe Raposo not the greatest composer of children's music of all time? Who else would think of making a bassoon play lead sounding like a goose, and throwing in a quacking kazoo for good measure. :)

  • When I was growing up (70s & 80s) there were many beautiful wild birds to be seen not far from my city. Today that's hardly the case. It's sad that's the way things are going.

  • Another great memory - while most of it is a smooth Joe Raposo score, it is 'punctuated' by a kazoo tune wthat accompanies the little bird swimming by.

  • What is that little black bird in this clip? What species is it?

  • He was an amazing composer! Oh not to sound rude, but that's not a kazoo it's a trumpet. :)

  • I remember this, especially the very last part - it's cute how the 'kazoo-like' music accompanied the little bird swimming by the pelican who was perched on the post. Good old Raposo days!

  • I loved the ending when I was kid. Like the kazoo is heckling that little bird for taking itself too seriously...lol!

  • As I was watching this, I thought 'This sounds very familiar' (I think it's Emilio 'Luis' Delgado saying 'Penguins'). However, at the very end, when the kazoo sound accompanied the little pelican swimming by, I told myself 'I KNOW I've seen this!' Thanks for posting!

  • Pelicans are cool, so is this song. When I was a kid, I wondered why that little duck got that silly kazoo solo. I thought there had to be some deep hidden meaning there that I just couldn't pick up on. Meanwhile, my brother was just laughing at it.

  • Everytime I see the pelicans in the zoo I think of this. That goes for other animal films like this. Tell me, Who can not love these. I am 35 and I still remember these and watch and sing along with them. Or while I at the zoo, they will come to me.

  • I always wondered if the kazoo solo at the end had a natural ending, has anyone ever heard this on any audio collection of SS songs and heard anything longer than what we hear here??
