King of the Road in Nottingham

Fort Worth's own Roger Miller has largely been remembered for the song "King of the Road." The snapping, the lyrics, the delivery, and, of course, Miller's voice make it a catchy, memorable song. However, it is perhaps less well-known that Miller composed some songs for Disney's Robin Hood. When I was a little boy, I remember my mother taking me to see that animated feature, and I really enjoyed it. I think I liked it as much as I currently like the song that begins "Trailer for sale or rent, rooms to let, fifty cents."  

Here is a little Robin Hood clip with Roger Miller narrating and singing.
