This morning, as I was eating breakfast and channel-surfing, I came upon some lions (puppets, of course) energetically singing about a meat shower. Yes, that does say meat. Even you meat-eaters can admit that's a little weird.
I couldn't help but be mesmerized by all the different meats of which they sang the praises, and the cleverness of the rhymes. Their tribute to flesh was accompanied by backdrops of drawings of different meats, and some singing pork chops (or something else of similar shape).
So, what am I to do, but go online to see if maybe there are lyrics posted to this song. I didn't find lyrics, but I did find two other things:
1) The show is called Between the Lions, and the meat shower song was inspired by one of the young lions misunderstanding talk of a meteor shower.
2) In 1876, there was a meat shower in Kentucky: large pieces of meat fell from the sky in a localized area. A theory as to how the area came to be strewn with raw meat was that buzzards regurgitated a recently eaten meal while flying above.
