Boy did this song aways deliver. We added this to the Trio song list back in 1974. I found it in some old Boy Scout songs. It always got a laugh. I still sing it today with the same affect. Great memories! |

Mark, Our era re-adopted this song after you played it for us at camp. Must have been 1999-20 year. (this is my recollection at least.) Andrew Vitatoe, Tim Eldridge and Jeremy Eldridge did this song a number of times that year. Below is a story I’ve borrowed from Facebook where Andrew tells the tale of being called for the song, but not in the proper key. “Under the same heading - Tim and I did the novelty number Super Rooster from the 60’s 70’s with Jeremy Eldridge on acoustic guitar. I think there were some shows that someone else brought their acoustic guitar and Jeremy just used that one. We get to a show in the spring and Brian calls the number. Jeremy comes down, sees there is no guitar and leaves. I turn around to Jae (Kellog) and try to communicate the chords of the song very quickly. Apparently my “chords” were interpreted as “it is in the key of” because the song started a third or a fourth step higher than normal. There is a section where I had to imitate the farmer’s wife in falsetto. We got to that part and I couldn’t make it… screechy to bass version of the farmers wife. Tim is also a Baritone and this song was more in a Tenor range anyway… Move it up 3 to 4 steps and he couldn’t make it either. We both had to drop down the octave and it was the most bizarre trippy version of super rooster ever. I don’t remember what Brian said after (I don’t believe it was good), but Jeremy never forgot the guitar after that.” |
