so yeah.. it's fucking great.. see it's about yertle who thinks he is the owner of everything he sees, but then he sees someone who's taller than him and wants to make himself a trone made out of turtles to be the tallest of all, to rule EVERYTHING - he is actually not a "good-guy" although it's impossible not to find him charming - finally tries to reach the moon, because he is not satisfied with what he already has, wants more and mroe, then it ends with mack burping, kind of overthrowing him and making yertle the king of mud.
i made a fun travesty of this song about christopher columbus, making him the symbol om americans taking native americans land, also keeping the red hots legacy of making pro-natives songs. it's interesting who much columbus fit into the role of yertle.
