A few months back Megan and I watched the movie Hoodwinked via OnDemand. While we watched the available preview, we really didn’t know anything about the movie other then the fact it just looked cute. After grabbing a drink, we started to watch the movie and during the next 81 minutes it was almost non-stop laughter. While Twitchy the squirrel is my favorite character, it’s really only because Japeth the Goat didn’t have more scenes. Japeth’s main scene is both of our favorite part of the movie, when Japeth sings Be Prepared to Red. Feel free to download the song here and sing along with the words below. Be prepared!
Be Prepared by Japeth the Goat
37 years ago a witch done put a spell on me
A spell where when I’m talkin’ I’m singin’ it with glee.
When you’re always singin’ you got to live alone
That’s why I made this mountain shack my home.
And when you’re on the mountain, you got no guarantees
That life will turn up roses or turn out as you please.
When you’re on the mountain, there’s lots to be a’feared
That’s why this here old mountain goat’s prepared!
Be prepared, be prepared,
This lesson must be shared,
This lesson must be shared,
Be prepared!
Be prepared, be prepared,
And unless you got a spare,
You got one life, so handle it with care!
(goat yodelling)
I got horns that open bottles,
And I got horns that hold my keys,
I got horns that when you turn ’em right, they help me watch TV.
I got horns that open pickle jars,
And horns that come with hair,
I got horns that hang my other horns –
I always come prepared.
Be prepared, be prepared,
This lesson must be shared,
This lesson must be shared,
Be prepared!
Be prepared, be prepared,
And unless you got a spare,
You got one life, so handle it with care!
Yeeeheeeee! Keep your hands and feet inside of the vehicle at all times!
(goat yodelling and more)
Ooooooh, an avalanche is comin’ and I do not feel prepared,
It’s rumblin’ like a mountain lion – I must say that I’m scared,
And if not for the witch’s spell you’d hear just how I scream,
But since I’m only singin’, I’ll just yodel ’til we’re creamed!
(goat yodelling…)
Baaaaa!

you nuts! I believe I have heard this song sung by a young female soloist before. Really must learn it myself and then I can sing along, also. Very cute.

“Be Prepared!”
One drink won’t do it… Two didn’t… Three might!
Trust me…. if you’re over the age of “over”, you may need a couple for the unstoppable laugh that I had planned for…. but didn’t get.
It must be a “younger generation thing”
However, Twittchy saves the day… and score…. I give it a “4”
Damn, I’m singing the song, now.
