Crow song

• 1.
• 2. This is a spin on a joke we have in Hungary. It goes like this:
  The wide mouthed little frog sets off to see the world.
  He runs into a hedgehog.
  [When you tell this joke, you say the frog's lines with your mouth as horizontally wide as possible.]
  - I'm a wide mouthed little frog. Who are you and what do you eat?
  - I'm a hedgehog and I eat insects.
  The little frog walks a little further. He runs into a cow.
  - I'm a wide mouthed little frog. Who are you and what do you eat?
  - I'm a cow and I eat grass.
  A few hundred meters away the little frog spots a stork.
  - Who are you and what do you eat?
  - I'm a stork and I eat wide mouthed little frogs.
  [You say the next line while sucking in your cheeks and squeezing your lips into a dot.]
  - And have you seen any around here?
• 3. There's pun here that I can't translate. In Hungarian the onomatopoetic word for the sound a crow makes is 'kár' (in English it's 'caw' I think) and in Hungarian 'kár' happens to mean 'it's a pity' or 'too bad' (also 'damage').
• 4. Very High Frequency band, a range of radio frequency electromagnetic waves (radio waves) from 30 to 300 megahertz (MHz).
• 5. This is a joke about the palace that spins on a chicken leg, which is an element in fairy tales in Hungary and probably other places too. For exmaple Baba Yaga is a witch in Slavic folklore and she lives in a chicken legged hut.
• 6. There's a pun here that happens to work in English too. Chickenpox is called 'sheep-pox' in Hungarian and wolves are know for preying on sheep but the pun kind of works with chicken as well.
