next.

:01:03
and that is that last night
I thanked my lucky stars...

:01:05
that I could be here at all
to sing for ya.

:01:08
I heard on the radio...
:01:10
- [Stops]
- This little boy... 9 years old.

:01:13
Sometimes a deejay'll play a tune...
:01:14
and ask everybody to phone in
and say how they like it.

:01:17
I was listenin', and this
little nine-year-old called in.

:01:22
The song had voices
in the background,

:01:25
like the way they use
backup voices these days,

:01:27
soundin' like little munchkins.
:01:29
He called up, the deejay said,
"How old are you, son?"

:01:32
The boy said, "I'm nine,
and I think it's gonna be a hit."

:01:35
The deejay said, "Why?" "Because
it had those chipmunks in it."

:01:38
And I thought that was so cute,
:01:41
because, well, I can sing
like a munchkin myself.

:01:44
I'm real fond
of The Wizard of Oz.

:01:46
Plus, I live out, you know,
just a ways off of Interstate 24...

:01:49
on the road to Chattanooga.
:01:51
So you can see why
I kinda related to that.

:01:54
I think me and the boys are gonna
strike up another tune for you now.

:01:57
Let's go, boys.
:01:59
[Resumes Intro]
:02:04
I think there's a storm...
:02:06
seems like it's a-brewin'.
:02:09
That's what my grandaddy used to say
before he lost his hearin'.

:02:14
- [Stops]
- Once he got deaf,

:02:16
he never talked much no more.
:02:19
'Cept sometimes he'd say "Oh, gosh"
or "Durn it" or "My word!"

:02:24
My granny'd go around clickin'
her teeth to the radio all day.

:02:28
Boy, was she a lot of fun,
and cooked my favorite, roast beef.

:02:31
She was a sweetheart.
:02:33
She raised chickens too.
She, um...

:02:36
Did you ever hear a chicken sound?
You know how chickens go?

:02:40
[Clucking]
:02:43
Here, chick, chick, chick.
Here, chick, chick, chick.

:02:46
Anyway, I guess we'd better strike
up this tune before it's too late.

:02:50
Okay, boys.
