I've heard this song twice in an Apple commercial & it's already an ear worm!!

http://youtu.be/af2j59zzX3Q

Sung by Robert Preston

Chicken Fat!

Touch down
Every morning
Ten times!
Not just
Now and then.
Give that chicken fat
Back to the chicken,
And don't be chicken again.
No, don't be chicken again.

Push up
Every morning
Ten times.
Push up
Starting low.
Once more on the rise.
Nuts to the flabby guys!
Go, you chicken fat, go away!
Go, you chicken fat, go!

Blast from the 1950s. A Chicken Fat song was part of an exercise program for grade school kids so we could keep up with the Russians. I don't remember if those are the exact same lyrics or not.

You mean they are using that song to sell Apple products? I don't get it.

Focus is to begin using iPhone as a health tracking device. Here's the Apple commercial:

That was a blast from my past when I first heard the commercial the other day. We warmed up to Chicken Fat in grammar school gym class in the 60's.

yep, I remember it well...actually it was kind of fun. Much better than climbing the rope...we didn't have gym suits in grammar school and my mom insisted on me always wearing dresses {#emotions_dlg.blushing}.

Dresses were required for me throughout my school years. Those horrid PE bloomers started up in jr high.

Re: Go, you chicken fat, go!

My first laugh today! I remember the melody; and will probably be stuck in my head all day. Ugly, blue, one piece, bloomer gym suits!
