Song with a sample of lyrics:
"The Rainbow Connection" - Sarah McLachlan or Kermit
"Have you been half-asleep and have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name.
Is this the sweet sound that called the young sailors.
The voice might be one and the same.
I've heard it too many times to ignore it.
It's something that I'm supposed to be.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
The lovers, the dreamers, and me."

Which one animal do you feel is absolutely nothing like you? I can actually see ways in which I might fit within any of the groups, but if it matters, I really, really dislike primates and don't much care for cats. :)
