You gotta watch the video!
The Herald Sun: THE contemplative poems of William Wordsworth have drawn lovers of literature to England's peaceful Lake District for two centuries. Even without a hip hop beat.
But in an effort to make the region's most famous poet more relevant to a younger audience, local tourism officials have released a rap version of Wordsworth's 200-year-old classic of Romantic verse: I wandered lonely as a cloud.
The reworking manages to "stay true to the original sentiment with some slight variation of the lyrics", Cumbria Tourism insisted.
Accompanying the hip-hop theme on its website is a video featuring "MC Nuts" - a giant dancing red squirrel.

Is this a joke? I can buy the hiphop lyrics but why the man in a--what is it--deer suit? Sorry I was never good at identifying animals. It's got to be a joke.
Pretty expensive joke, though.
No doubt about it, I've lived too long.
Nah, Cap'n. You have many good years ahead.
