I Tell Ya Tuesday is a quick-hit thought of the day.

I Tell Ya...

Nobody ever says they're a bad driver,



A lousy singer,



Or, have a bad sense of humour.

Henry Mancini - Baby Elephant Walk


 "Baby Elephant Walk" is a piece of music written in 1961 by composer Henry Mancini, for the 1962 release of the movie Hatari! The composer combines brass instruments (including repeated blasts from the tuba) and woodwind elements to convey the sense of a toddler that is large and plodding, but nonetheless filled with the exuberance of youth. The catchy, jazzy simplicity of the tune has made it one of Mancini's most popular works, prompting its appearance on nearly twenty later compilation and best of/greatest hits albums.

 In The Simpsons, it is used by Homer Simpson in the season 2 episode "Dancin' Homer" where he dances as a mascot for the Springfield Isotopes baseball team.

Right Said Fred - "I'm Too Sexy"


 "I'm Too Sexy" is the title of a song by English trio Right Said Fred from their album Up. The single topped the American charts for three weeks in early 1992, after having peaked at number two in Britain less than six months earlier.

 The song was rated #49 on "The 50 Worst Songs Ever! Watch, Listen and Cringe!"[1] by Blender. In 2007, the song was listed as #80 on the VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of the 90s. It was also ranked #2 on VH1's 40 Greatest One-Hit Wonders of the 90s.[2] Most recently, in 2010, the song was ranked at #8 on AOL Radio's list of the 100 Worst Songs Ever, with Matthew Wilkening advising the reader: "Next time the Brits try to knock our culture, just ask them where [Right Said Fred] had four Top 30 singles in one year."
