Leatherwing Bat is the original name of this traditional folk song. Folklore has always thought of the animals with human characteristics, including the power of speech. Even Mark Twain once commented that there was no question about the ability of animals to talk to each other. The question was whether or not very many people could understand them. This folk song is about the bat and birds chatting to each other about love. Phonetic pronunciation suggestion: Hahee-dih-dahoo, dee-dih-dul-uhm-dehee Heh-lee-lee, lih-lahee-lih-loh.

You know this Christmas carol, but you've never heard it like this before! Alan Billingsley's contemporary interpretation brings the traditional tune up to date.
