Good. It’s a noxious earworm.

I think those are the lyrics. Over and over and over again. If there are any other words to the song, they got drowned out in my head.

Hmmm… Is Kate going to discover the general default attitude for Animals is ‘Taking the mick’?

Verse one

It’s a world of laughter

A world of tears

It’s a world of hopes

It’s a world of fears

There’s so much that we share

That it’s time we’re aware

It’s a small world after all

Chorus

It’s a small world after all

It’s a small world after all

It’s a small world after all

It’s a small small world

Verse two

There is just one moon and one golden sun

And a smile means friendship to everyone

Though the mountain divide

And the oceans are wide

It’s a small world after all

Repeat chorus

And they alpaca what?

Written by Robert and Richard Sherman who also wrote the songs for Mary Poppins.

Awe!

The song fondly reminds me of Disneyland’s Small World ride, which I rode when just a kid in the 1950s!

Everyone should watch out because if they’re irritated they spit and it stinks horribly because it’s a cross between vomit and mucus. But with Kate, she won’t have trouble because she talks to them.

The Alpacas humming reminds of the Donald Duck short from Saludos Amigos where he buys a llama that is controlled with a flute.

At least they don’t YODEL!!

I thought they were trying to attract their favourite food, hummingbirds.

I wonder if the alpacas would hum along if Kate sang to them?

“Its a small world”? And here I though Alpacas were peaceful animals. Alert the Geneva Convention.

They always have some at the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival. So adorable, in a big, clunky sorta way.

Nobody can get that song out of their heads after they hear it, not even animals.

[High-pitched squeal and happy dance] MY FAVORITE CAMELIDS!

I could make a corny joke about once knowing a guy named Al Packer . . .

But I won’t! :-)

Alpaca is a very fun word to say!

I wonder if Alpacas know the “Mmm” song by Crash Test Dummies.

Could have been worse. Could have been anything by the Police. :)

Ha! Even they are subject to earworms!

We’re going to the Andes? Alpaca bag!

Remember about 10yrs in Winnipeg on first Monday in august everything was closed holiday in Canada so we took in the zoo, and just walking around a older guy with granddaughter told me to go a see Alpaca going to be born he said he has seen a few born so he wasn’t interested so I walked over and within 5min I watched he coming out the it took about 5-10min before he got up a bit shaking took some pictures just unbelievable

Ever have a problem getting a parent to tell you what their child wants as a birthday present? I solved the problem when my daughter called me yesterday on her way home from work. I said if she didn’t give me some ideas, I was going to get her son a puppy for his birthday. She tried to sidestep by telling me he wouldn’t want a puppy, but I said he would, and she realized that I was serious, and he would want one. Problem solved; gift expected to land on my porch well in time for his party. She tried to say, “a ball,” but just as I was about to suggest a bowling ball, she thought of other things.

The two on the left are Stella and Shawm in alpaca costumes! :D

If you hum a few bars, they’ll fake it.
