In 1961, President Kennedy put out a call for more physical fitness for America’s youth. ”Music Man” Robert Preston answered with Chicken Fat, from composer Merideth Wilson. Many schools used this great workout song even up to the 1970s. Congratulations to this school from somewhere in the US who posted a YouTube video showing that they are still having classrooms exercising to Chicken Fat.

Wow… I didn’t know anyone else knew that song. (And just as a nit-picky comment – The Music Man was written by Meredith Willson. The spelling above was incorrect.)
