Tangled up in Seuss

When a musician recorded "Green Eggs and Ham" in the voice of vintage Bob Dylan and posted it online, the Grinch estate promptly replied: One fish, two fish, cease and desist.

    Hey, Moxy Früvous did this fifteen years ago

    Better known for "The King of Spain", Moxy Früvous did a truly stunning acappella/beat-box rendition of Green Eggs and Ham. Of course, it was apparently not released on a major label, and perhaps it was easier for such things to slip under the radar in those days. (Especially a Canadian group's music.)

    But like the Dylan rendition, this version of Green Eggs and Ham is still floating around out there. It is worth seeking out for any Seuss fan.
