Discover the story of the song > Hippo Encore – flanders and swann

The song tells the story of a male hippopotamus who used to be very flirtatious and was known for his love songs. However, he is now married and has ten children that he often complains about and wishes he could be single again. He no longer enjoys playing around on the Nile River with his fellow hippos, who all wear fancy pajamas. The chorus celebrates the joy of indulging in mud, which is great for cooling off and having fun.
