Frank stands with a talking cow and comments on Davey's song and dance
routine. (I'm not kidding.)

The whole song is delightfully 60's, with Strawberry Fields and other
Beatlesy references. Those walking cellos especially.
The cello's at the beginning are very "Watcher of the Sky" mellotrony
sounding, certainly, especially with some of those chord changes, but
they're clearly real cellos. And that one note is held for about 12
seconds, so... :-)
