Yeas I thought of this also but hesitated to draw the line between the chickadees and biker chicks :)
Is there a possiblity that the thought of the other meaning of "sp?tta" occured to the translators?
I gave the swedish name a lot of thought yesterday and Im still fascinated.

Here's a song that sounds rather old to me. 1930s maybe?
It refers to at least Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Pluto and Donald Duck. As
if they're in some adventure.
Son and Daughter of Mr. Mouse

Another title for the song seems to be 'Mickey's Son And Daughter'.
Does anyone know the history behind this song? I guess it's rather funny
that the song refers to a son and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mickey Mouse.
That must mean that, according to this song, Mickey and Minnie are not only
parents but also married. :-)
Is it allowed for non-Disney people to release songs refering to their
characters? Has the song been okayed by Disney or is that obsolete?
The song has been covered by the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band. I didn't know it
was a cover. Someone at McDrake refered me to (I guess) the original above.
Best wishes,
Dani?l

Couldn't it be that since the Danish "Gr?nsp?tte" (=Junior Woodchuck)
already existed when they were about to give a Swedish name to the
Chickadees, they just used that ("Danish") word. There is not any
significant phonetic difference between "sp?tte" (da) and "sp?tta" (se).
In Danish we also have a "R?dsp?tte", which in principle could translate
to "Red Woodpecker", only it doesn't. Instead it is the flounder (fish)
that was mentioned earlier on, a relative small, flat type with red
dots. However, that is the only Danish "sp?tte" which is a fish, the
rest are woodpeckers, while in Sweden they are all fish, so in order to
make it a bird(!?) you used "Gr?ng?lingarna". Luckily "g?lingarna" has
no meaning in Danish--that would have been too much! :-)
