Rikki Tikki Tavi (song)

Some time ago, we talked about Rikki Tikki Tavi, the animated show.  A somewhat classic cartoon, great for kids.  This is not the same.  It's interesting, though.  This is a rock song by the group Fair to Midland.  They were formed in 1998 and hail from the Dallas, TX area.  They unfortunately have no members named Rick.

Here are the lyrics, if you want.

Rikki Tikki Tavi

By popular request, I bring you Rikki Tikki Tavi.  It is a short story by Rudyard Kipling about a mongoose.  It was also made into an animated special in 1975. 

Here's the extra short plot summary:  Family finds mongoose.  Keep it as pet.  Snakes and mongoose are not friends.  Mongoose and snake fight, with mongoose hoping to save human.  Snake dies.  Other snake plots revenge.  Snake and mongoose fight.  Mongoose wins (saving humans).  Mongoose is hero.  Fin

And, per usual, youtube provides us video.  (It's the whole animated special, in 3 parts. I hope you have about 25 minutes to spare.  Or better yet, space it out and visit multiple times and watch a bit each time.)

Part two and part three after the jump:
