Скачать или смотреть Go, Salamander, Go! / Foster Brown

This song celebrates the life cycle of mole salamanders who migrate to vernal ponds in late winter and early spring to lay their eggs. Found on his latest recording, "Howdy Do," this song is full of science embedded in a fun, acoustic rock genre. Hopefully, you will find "Go, Salamander, Go" informative and catchy while you learn about these awesome amphibians.

GO SALAMANDER, GO! (LYRICS)
Go, go Sally, go salamander go!
Go, go Sally, go salamander go!
Go as fast as your little ol’ legs will go.

Instincts drive them to a vernal pond
To climb out of the ground to pass their gene pool on
Above forty degrees, on a rainy night
In late winter or early spring they make their ancient plight

Go, go Sally, go salamander go!
Go, go Sally, go salamander go!
Go as fast as your little ol’ legs will go.

Male Jefferson and Small-mouth, are the first to go
Then Spotted will follow, even thru the cold, cold snow
Arrive at the woodland pool, set up their courtship space
Then deposit spermatophores in this cold pond place

Go, go Sally, go salamander go!
Go, go Sally, go salamander go!
Go as fast as your little ol’ legs will go.

Females arrive, the males begin to dance
Attracting a mate, hoping for some salamander romance
She will choose her mate, pick up his deposit
Fertilize her eggs and lay a mass of salamander profit

Go, go Sally, go salamander go!
Go, go Sally, go salamander go!
Go as fast as your little ol’ legs will go.

On this migration path, oh, be so very careful
There’s danger near the woodland pond where you’re trying to go
There are birds and mammals who’ll eat you for an evening meal
Even people who’ll collect you for a business deal. I say NO!

Go, go Sally, go salamander go!
Go, go Sally, go salamander go!
Go as fast as your little ol’ legs will go.
Go as fast as your little ol’ legs will go.
Go as fast as your little ol’ legs will go.
