Spare a thought for New Zealand’s harness race caller, when he was
confronted by the name of one of the horses: howdoyoulikemenow? It must be one
of the longest and strangest names ever bestowed on a horse.
Bred in New Zealand by R E Bright, the nag last started in 2003, after
winning three first, three second and one third prizes.
Thousands of miles from New Zealand, in Webster, Florida, another horse
sported the same strange name. He was bred by Circle C Farms Ltd. From 28
starts, he won seven first prizes, three seconds and three thirds, with earnings
totalling $43,214.
How did those horses get such a funny monicker? A girl calling herself

Arabian, 1/4 TB, 1/4 TB, 1/4 QH, 1/4 App. She named the poor thing ‘Sheton
Mississippi of Brandy Cloud’. She called him Sheton for short.”
The mystry was quicklysolved. “Howdoyoulikemenow?” is the name of a pop
song that appeals to horselovers around the globe. You can listen to it on this

"How Do You Like Me Now"I was always the crazy one
I broke into the stadium
And I wrote your number on the 50 yard line
You were always the perfect one
And the valadictorian so
Under your number I wrote "call for a good time"
I only wanted to catch your attention
But you overlooked me somehow
Besides you had too many boyfriends to mention
And I played my guitar too loud.
How do you like me now?
How do you like me now,
Now that I'm on my way?
Do you still think I'm crazy
Standin here today?
I couldnt make you love me
But I always dreamed about living in your radio
How do you like me now?
When I took off to Tennessee
I heard that you made fun of me
Never imagined I'd make it this far
Then you married into money girl
Aint it a cruel and funny world?
He took your dreams and tore them apart.
He never comes home
And youre always alone
And your kids hear you cryin down the hall
Alarm clock starts ringin
Who could that be singin
Its me baby, with your wake up call!
How do you like me now?
How do you like me now,
Now that I'm on my way?
Do you still think I'm crazy
Standin here today?
I couldnt make you love me
But I always dreamed about living in your radio
How do you like me now?
Tell me baby...
I will preach on...
