Not Another Bovine Love Song….

If you’re trying to impress someone special today by emailing them a music video of a love song of epic proportions, then I Will Always Love You, or My Heart Will Go On simply won’t do.

This Valentine’s Day, the music video set to win over even the hardest of hearts is a song about the love story between a farmer and his cow!

“Our Love Is In Your cornflakes” – the music video ballad released by the World Society for the Protection of Animals – must surely be the biggest animal love song since Kermit the Frog sang Rainbow Connection to Miss Piggy in 1979.

The song is part of WSPA’s Not In My Cuppa campaign to stop plans for the UK’s first mega dairy which will see thousands of cows housed in concrete sheds and could result in serious environmental consequences and put hundreds of farmers at risk of going out of business. The issue will come to a head on March 8th when the planning application for the indoor farm at Nocton in Lincolnshire is decided.

The song is a love story between a farmer and his cow.

The farmer is played by comedy stalwart Kevin Eldon (Mongrels, IT Crowd, Black Books, Hot Fuzz) and the cow puppet has been built by the Mongrels team. Ruth Bratt (currently on BBC shows Mongrels and Fast and Loose) has recorded the cow’s voice. The film music has been composed by Banks and Wag, who have composed for such diverse programmes as Zingzillas (CBeebies TV show), the X Factor and the National Lottery.
