" Born on a mountaintop in Tennessee--"

"--greenest state in the land of the free.
born in the woods, so's he knew ev'ry tree. ..
thanks for getting that song stuck in my head, sweetie."

"What? Oh, sorry."

"Da-veeee, Davy Crockett-- King of the Wild Fron-tier!
yeah. that's going to be in there for a while. "

"So what did Davy Crockett do, again?"

"Yeah, I know-- he's like Daniel Boone. I know they wore coonskin caps."

"Daniel Boone died at the Alamo, right?"

"I'm pretty sure they both did. They died at the Alamo, and they wore coonskin caps. I think they're the only ones known for that. Wait-- I think Lewis and Clark might have worn coonskin caps, too."

"Kind of a weird thing to be known for."

"Power of fashion.
.. . Born on a mountaintop in Tennessee--
greenest state in the land of the free!
Born in the woods so's he knew ev'ry tree--
Killed him a Bear! when he was only three.
Daveee--"

"Wait. What did you just say?"

"Killed him a bear, when he was only three?"

"You mean it isn't : Killed in a bar! when he was only three ?"

"No!"

"That makes so much more sense."

"I know why you thought that, though-- they say bear so it sounds like bar. Like hicks say it.

I think I used to think the same thing. Actually, I know I did--
I remember thinking, wow, he was killed in a barfight when he was only three? How was he able to accomplish anything heroic in that amount of time?

And then there were all these pictures of him, clearly older than three, wearing a coonskin cap!

It was really confusing."
