When I See an Elephant Fly - Robbie Fulks
ROBBIE FULKS is a alternative country musician. He calls himself this because he doesn't really likes the country music industry, mainstream modern country music and basically the huge empire that rules over musicians. His music is littered with tongue-in-cheek references to Nashville and country music and on his webpage you'll read some sarcasm and cynicism toward rock 'n roll, record labels, and digital downloads.

However, his singing, songwriting and guitar playing is really fantastic. Each of his albums features a slightly different musical direction, each showcasing Fulks' musical talent. For cover fans, Fulks released an album of country covers called 13 HILLBILLY GIANTS.

Fulks demonstrates his ability to play bluegrass with this cover of Dumbo's When I See an Elephant Fly which is the perfect song for him due to the sarcastic nature of the lyrics. But it make me wonder, wouldn't it fit Robbie's character to also not like the Walt Disney Company? Why would he record this track for them?
