<VIDEO> The Wolverine Song
10 years ago
General
Due to some issues with my right wrist, I am a little behind on getting new content out there. My wrist issues, which caused my right wrist to no longer to bend and was apparently caused by a cyst under the skin, now seems to be resolved, so I will be pushing out some new content by the end of this week for sure. Whilst you wait, I am going to share with you this humorous and obnoxious(?) video that I found lurking upon YouTube.
This video is part of a series called Wild Sings and was put out by Banff National Park, Alberta, CA and Park's Canada in the fall of last year. Though more educational than Ylvis' "The Fox," I found this video to be just as goofy, ridiculous and obnoxious, which may have been the intent. However, even though it got some media coverage from the Huff Post CA, etc., unlike "The Fox," these videos never seemed to go viral. The original video has since been disabled or removed, but copies are still lurking out there.

Wolverine Song
Chorus:
Wolverine, wolverine little and lean
Wolverine, I’m a killing machine
Wolverine, wolverine solitary unseen
Keepin’ it real but never keepin’ it clean
Resembling a bear in a short stocky frame
Although you might not care
I’m gonna tell you all the same
Frost free fur, stripes down the back
Spray like a skunk
When threatened with attack
Beady black eyes, powerful jaws
Muscular thighs, razor-sharp claws
Paws so wide, I can walk upon the snow
And those who tried to spy me
Likely only saw my ghost
CHORUS
I scavenge on a moose
And gorge on his remains
Or drop a caribou, on the northern plains
Did you listen to the shriek
He descended into darkness
See the glisten of my teeth
As I defend the carcass
When lookin’ for a mate
I’d hoof a hundred clicks
If my babe and me relate
We’ll make a couple kits
By the second summer, kits are all grown
No more hunting with your mama
Got to strike out on your own
CHORUS
Gulo gulo, that’s Latin for “Glutton”
That’s my name
Or “Carcajou”, “Quickhatch”, “Skunk Bear”
Claim to fame
But there’s another beast, man
Who puts it all to shame
Consuming and abusing
Like it’s all a big game
So what’s it really mean to be a wolverine?
A sexy superhero
Or a college football team?
No nothing half that superficial
More like twice as free
I’ll show you how much fun I’m havin’
Simply bein’ me
CHORUS
You’ll find me in the north
All around the Polar Regions
In Canada of course
Russia, Norway, Finland, Sweden
I represent the world
Ambassadorial-ah weasel
Avoiding all the places
Where you’re drillin’ gas and diesel
I used to roam the land
As the weasel king
Now you own my habitat
I’m not the one who stinks
I went deep into the woods
To find some peace and quiet
You say that I’m no good
Yeah, well you’re a riot
CHORUS
Keepin’ it real and seekin’ out peace
Put aside your pride and listen up please
A proposal to the people from the weasel
PEACE
