AUDIO: MOO DENG THE BABY HIPPO HAS A SONG
Moo Deng, the little pygmy hippo from Thailand that broke the world’s “Awwww” meter, now has an official song. The 50-second song “Moodeng Moodeng,” is available in Thai, English, Chinese and Japanese versions. The lyrics: “Moo Deng Moo Deng, boing boing boing / Mommy mommy, play with me.” Its music video consists of short clips of Moo Deng bouncing, playing with her keeper or hanging out with her mom. The catchy tune was produced by well-known Thai composer Mueanphet Ammara. Moo Deng — the name literally means “bouncy pork,” a type of meatball, in Thai — became a global phenomenon just a month after she was unveiled on Facebook by the Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Thailand.
* Oh, so it’s war Thailand wants? Release the “Baby Shark Song” on Thailand!
* And then bombard the country with Barney the Dinosaur DVDs.
* By “catchy song,” they mean that by the time you hear it for the third time, you’re ready to jump off a cliff.
* You may remember well-known Thai composer Mueanphet Ammara from his other great song, “Thailand Thailand Bangkok Bang / Bang Bang Bang Bang Bangkok.”
