The Cackalacky Song©: A Tune From The Crossroads Of Tradition, Innovation, And Fun!
The connection between food and music is undeniable. And at Cackalacky®, the connection between flavor and creativity has always been inseparable.
When we first recorded our famously original “Cackalacky Song” in a tiny cottage in Chapel Hill, North Carolina—lo, so many years ago—we truly had no idea it would take on a life of its own.
Sure, it’s a silly song. It’s catchy, too! And over the years, we’ve sung it just about everywhere—from illuminated stages and music festivals to grocery-store parking lots, on NPR, and everywhere in between. (Yes, the Cackalacky® Song is even copyrighted and officially registered with the United States Library of Congress - Registration No. PA0001209738)
Now, thanks to extraordinary advances in recording technology, we’ve been able to digitally preserve the original analog cassette-tape recording (below). Even better, you can now enjoy brand-new interpretations of the song—quite literally from all around the world—something that was once only imaginable.
So, go ahead: listen, download, stream, and share the tracks below—starting with our humble, original “budget portable cassette tape recorder” version from around the turn of the century.
