Stranger Than... Switch Edition

True story.
First off, get the background music going:
Now, picture this...
My brother is driving down a road in the middle of nowhere listening to the radio (with wife and daughter who confirm the story). The story is as told by him. This song starts and suddenly, a fat bird with long skinny legs steps into the road. Slam brakes. Wait. Bird very casually crosses the road... But wait, there's more! The bird is walking by stepping with its left leg across its right. Legs stop. Head and neck stop. Body rocks back and forth 4 times (in perfect time to the music). Repeat with the right leg crossing over the left leg . Damn thing is walking scissor-legged, stopping its legs and then waiting for its body to stop. For the entire length of the song. In time to the music. Funniest damn thing... (better with me attempting to imitate it)
Like a demented version of the Wizard of Oz where they are all walking that way down the yellow brick road.
