SONG CHALLENGE WINNER!

The Song Challenge:  Is That A Baby Budgie In Your Pants, Or Are You Just Glad To See Me? -- RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (Reuters) -- With parrots and snakes in his luggage and bird eggs tucked into his underwear, an Austrian tourist has been arrested and charged for animal trafficking, Brazilian police said on Wednesday.   "He put (the eggs) near his testicles so they would be at nest temperature," a police spokesman said.  Police discovered 21 parrots, four parakeets and two snakes hidden in two large suitcases carried by Austrian botanist Johann Zillinger.  hey also found Zillinger had rolled five parakeet eggs into a sock and nestled them in his underwear.  "Since some of the parakeets that he had with him were newborns, we assume that some of the eggs had already hatched."  Tipped off by an anonymous call, Rio de Janeiro police arrested the Austrian on Monday in front of his Copacabana beach hotel, as he climbed into a taxi on his way to catch a flight to Europe.  According to police, Zillinger bought the animals in the Amazon port city of Belen and planned to take them to Austria to sell them in Europe.

Áine's Comments:  I want y'all to take a moment, put your hair up in a ponytail or slick it back with Dippity Doo, pull on your bobby socks, slip on your penny loafers, and imagine one of those friendly folks that frisk you at the airport singing this little ditty on American Bandstand:

I noticed him that Monday 'cuz he couldn't stand still,
Da dude done run run, da dude done run,
His passport said that his name was Zill,
Da dude done run run, da dude done run

Yes, he couldn't stand still,
Yes, his name was Zill,
And when I waved my wand,
Da dude done run run, da dude done run

He was pullin' on his britches when he caught my eye,
Da dude done run run, da dude done run,
Twistin' up his face and tryin' not to cry,
Da dude done run run, da dude done run

Yes, he caught my eye,
Yes, tryin' not to cry,
And when his pants started to sing,
Da dude done run run, da dude done run

I tackled him around the waist and took him down,
Da dude done run run, da dude done run,
His britches slid right off and fell onto the ground,
Da dude done run run, da dude done run

Yes, I took him down,
Yes, his pants were on the ground,
And scamperin' in pain and fright,
Da dude done run run, da dude done run

Slappin' at his nooglies he ran down the mall,
Da dude done run run, da dude done run,
Screams and baby budgies flyin' down the hall,
Da dude done run run, da dude done run

Yes, all his eggs had hatched,
Yes, they'd nested in his thatch,
And his progeny away they snatched,
Da dude done run run, da dude done run,
Da dude done run run, da dude done run,
Da dude done run run, da dude done run
