Counting the Cattle

I want to share a song by the Danish group D-A-D. Originally their name was Disneyland After Dark, but the Walt Disney Company thought that was an awfully bad idea, so they had to change it. D-A-D makes rock music, and have been playing together since the early 80s.

Sometimes they make something completely different. This song, "Counting the Cattle", were made for fun on the album "Call of the Wild" from 1986, and the group has said in interviews afterward that they were very surprised when they saw the fans' positive reactions to the song.

Discover D-A-D!

Here is the link for you phonies that can't use the player up there. Remember it's illegal to keep the file!

Here is the lyrics to this crazy song:

I'm countin' the cattle: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5...
I'm countin' the cattle
Just to check if there alive
I'm countin' the cattle: 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
I'm countin' the cattle once again.

Well, the first little cow she went for a climb,
Fell off the mountain
- and then we were 9
The second little cow, she went out for a date
Discovered it was Wolfie
- and then we were 8

I'm countin'...

Well number 3 & number 4 they were longhorned chicks
- Met some horny bulls
And now I'm only countin' 6

Number 5, 6 & 7 went out without their key
They're hanging at the butchers
And I'm only counting 3

I'm countin'...

Well the 8 & 9 said: - We're never havin' fun!
They packed their things and left!
And I'm only countin' 1!!

Well here we are
Me and Molly
She is brown-spotted, cheerful
And she's jolly
She milks herself every day
And she promised me that she will stay!
Our son is a muuhtant
- But who gives a damn
- I mean, when the folks
Downtown, calls us:
Mister and mam!!

I'm countin'...
