Chooka Chooka Penguin

There's a song that Jenny has played for the co-op kids, called Jungle, witten and performed by ELO. It's a pretty silly song, overblown and very melodramatic in the ELO fashion, but the kids love it because it's a simple, groovy beat to which they can shake their shakers and bang their drums. Livvy requests it often while in the car, so I've heard the song about a million times (conservative estimate). One day we asked Livvy what the "guy " in the song was singing. She responded, "That's not a guy, that's the penguin man." We can ask her anytime, anyway and she is unvarying with her response: the song is performed by a penguin. While waiting to sleep at night, I've found myself pondering just what synapses got crossed that caused her to visualize a penguin man singing "Chooka chooka hoo la ley Looka looka koo la ley." Her little brain and the connections continue to amaze me.
