This amusing and quirky music video features a really catchy song that'll have you singing along in no time. It was written and produced by four British guys as a fun project. The plan was to make it look and sound ridiculous. Let us know what you think in the comment section below.

LYRICS:
VERSE 1:
Knock, Knock, who's there?
A young girl, pretty and fair.
She's only from next door,
But as common as a whore!
She invites me to come and play,
But I'm not sure what to say.
I think about it once or twice,
Then ask her what's her price!
CHORUS 1:
Fumble, fumble,
Let us have a tumble.
One drink or two
We'll start to coo!
Fumble, fumble,
Let us have a tumble.
Three drinks or four
We'll roll on the floor!
VERSE 2:
If you buy me an alcopop
I'll let you fumble in my top!
For another two or more
We'll tumble on the floor!
We traipse around the pubs
Then off we go, to the clubs
We stay all night and get thrown out
With mischief all about.
CHORUS 2:
Fumble, fumble,
Let us have a tumble.
Five drinks or six
We'll start to mix!
Fumble, fumble,
Let us have a tumble.
Seven drinks or eight
We'll seal our fate!
REPRISE:
Fumble, fumble,
Let us have a tumble.
Nine drinks or ten
We'll be wrecked again!

Both Ted and Uncle Bill live in Antarctica. Ted is a cheeky, cocky little penguin who repeatedly tells Uncle Bill his name is NOT Fred. Uncle Bill has always called his nephew "Fred" - but that is not his name! Uncle Bill is a big, old, perverted, smelly, scruffy, simple minded yet wealthy and extroverted penguin. Ted is unable to get the message through to him and is frustrated by his Uncle's ignorance. Hope you enjoy this quirky and catchy song! Let me know in the comment section below what you think.
Some of my musical influences include: Hans Zimmer, Gustav Mahler, John Williams, Bon Jovi, Patrick Doyle, Jerry Goldsmith, Danny Elfman, Wishbone Ash, James Horner, Brian Tyler, James Newton-Howard.
PENGUINS
A penguin is a flightless marine bird, and an iconic figure in the avian world, despite the fact that their range is restricted to the Southern Hemisphere. Many children learn to recognize the distinctive black and white coloration of the penguin at an early age, and the birds are popular attractions in zoos and aquatic parks all over the world. Many adults find the birds endearing because of their waddling walk and engaging faces, and the birds are also used to brand a number of products including the popular Penguin Classics books and the Linux operating system.
All penguins are in the family Spheniscidae, and the exact number of penguin species is a subject of dispute, with estimates ranging from 15-19 distinct species. The largest variety of penguin is the Antarctic Emperor Penguin, which stands an impressive four feet (120 centimeters) when fully grown, and the smallest is the Little Blue Penguin of Australia and New Zealand, topping out at 14 inches (35 centimeters). In all cases, penguins retain essentially the same coloration, with dark backs and pale bellies.
The coloration of the penguin assists it in hunting seafood such as fish and crustaceans, because the dark back camouflages the penguin from predators above while the white belly makes them less visible to prey from below. Penguins also have wings which resemble flippers, having evolved to value swimming over the ability to fly, and they have strong webbed feet to kick with while they swim. In addition, penguins have oily, stiff feathers to waterproof their bodies while swimming in cold water.
Penguins feed exclusively in the ocean, surviving on stored fat while on land incubating eggs. Most penguins share incubation duties, keeping the egg on top of the feet and crouching over it, insulating the egg with their bellies. One penguin will travel to the ocean to eat while the other incubates, and then the couple will switch off. Once the penguin chick hatches, both parents participate in the feeding and care until it becomes a juvenile and is able to fend for itself.
Oddly enough, the word "penguin" is Welsh, despite the fact that penguins have never been known to live in Wales. It is a compound of pen for head and for white, and it was originally used to refer to the great auk, a now extinct flightless bird which was native to the Northern Hemisphere. When explorers saw penguins during their Southern adventures, they associated them with the great auk, and began to refer to them as penguins as well. Although the great auk is gone due to human depredations, the penguin lives on.
Computer animation or CGI animation is the process used for generating animated images by using computer graphics. The more general term computer-generated imagery encompasses both static scenes and dynamic images, while computer animation only refers to moving images.
Modern computer animation usually uses 3D computer graphics, although 2D computer graphics are still used for stylistic, low bandwidth, and faster real-time renderings. Sometimes the target of the animation is the computer itself, but sometimes the target is another medium, such as film.
