   Don’t forget “baa baa black sheep.” It’s the same melody, too.

   Well, when the “Instrumental Extended Dance Cut” is on, you won’t be able to tell what the original melody was supposed to be in any case, so what’s the difference?

   So R.J. has neiled the big issue? I only have one question for him, What IF the hokey pokey IS what it’s all about?

   
   And yes I remember they did a strip about that once too. But really, what if that is really the existential meaning of life?

   So I guess in the original strip “Sammy” the squirrel must have died from shock and that’s when “Hammy” stepped in? Perhaps it’s RJ’s way off lowering the squirrel population.

   Ooooh, that strip features Sammy!
    
   Sammy was Hammy’s alter ego who replaced Hammy when he died.  (Eventually Sammy swapped places with a re-incarnated Hammy from the other side of the mirror).

    And “Baa, Baa, Black Sheep” is almost identical. Not just to both the aforementioned songs, but to “What a Wonderful World.” :P

    I’ve been looking for older Over the Hedge comics. Do you have many, bakuteh?

    “Any way you listen to it, it’s still Mozart.”

    “Moz-art”? No way. It’s “All-art”. All “Great-art”.

    Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Variations on “Ah vous dirai-je, Maman” (K. 265 / K. 300e) (1781 or 1782)

    And look up the French words sometime. Mozart’s rep as a lech with a sense of humor remains intact.
