The vulture scene from the Jungle book begins with a slow zoom in, showing the whole swamp, which is monochrome and seemingly dead. This is coupled with a very dull and drab sounding bass being the only noise, until the fourth vulture arrives and the dialogue begins. "What we gonna do?" is the biggest question of the day for these four various looking vultures, and is repeated to add a comedic effect. Even a dark joke about dead things, which should be important to vultures fails to break the monotonous repetition because one of them even lacks the ability to show any joy at the joke, simply stating "Very funny" returning the others to their repeated attempts to find something to do. These vultures forge a sense of bored guys hanging around, not even wanting to do anything, merely asking simply because they should.

This poem is all about happiness. It is all happy words thrown together and then published. The word "la" is used 165 times. "La la la la la la" is focused on because it helps to give the poem a strong sense of joy. The mass use of repetition is used to instill an extreme sense of ditzy happiness. "Yeah, yeah, yeah" ends the poem with a strong feeling of finality, almost as if the author had said all this in one breath and wanted to show they were finished.
