about

A song written by Nat King Cole and Irving Mills in 1943 and performed by The King Cole Trio. The song was based on a black folk tale that Cole's father had used as a theme for one of his sermons. In the tale, a buzzard takes different animals for a joy ride. When he gets hungry, he throws them off on a dive and eats them for dinner. A monkey who had observed this trick goes for a ride; he wraps his tail around the buzzard's neck and gives the buzzard a big surprise by nearly choking him to death.
The song was a part of the score of the 1943 film “Here Comes Elmer”.
