Two people dance and eat the dead person, act just like sARani. When we dance you should see them. Some man jump around - just like he flying - jump all over dead man. Dead man, he just laying down, never say nothing. [The same song is on Reel 7, Side 1, no. 12, 8/15/58. variously identified as a seagull song, or as a song referring to both crow and seagull.
