00:00This song is about birds, children, yes, birds, and about their nests and how to find them and properly build a pot.
00:15That's right, yes, an ornithological lesson.
00:19Yeah, that's the word.
00:20I just learned it today, yes.
00:22Ornithological.
00:23And now, you might actually recognize the lyrics to this song as it's a traditional Ramphair standard.
00:30It's called Cuckoo's Nest.
00:32But we set it to the tune of Misserloo, which you might also recognize.
00:36It's a Mediterranean folk tune.
00:39But actually, you might not know it as a Mediterranean folk tune.
00:43You may know it because it was made famous by ye olde black-eyed peas.
00:47Yes, and those legumes.
00:54Well, it's not going to sound like that.
00:56It will not.
00:57But that song is called Misserloo.
00:59And it's with, like I said, the lyrics of Cuckoo's Nest.
01:02So naturally, we call it Misserloo Cuckoo's Nest.
01:07There you go.
01:23Cuckoo's Nest.
