[http://www.surlalunefairytales.com/brementown/index.html "The Bremen Town Musicians"] is a German folk story about a group of animals who decide to run away and form a musical troup. Unfortunately, although they don't realize it, their singing is beyond awful, and their first "concert" scares away its audience: a group of robbers stationed in a cottage. The animals settle into the cottage, and when the robbers return by night, again repel them, mostly because of the robbers' own superstitious fears. The animals decide to remain at the cottage, and live happily ever after.
The story is short and lighthearted, more a folktale than a [[Fairy Tale]]. It was collected by [[The Brothers Grimm (
[[Cartoon Network]] has also produced a number of shorts called "Wedgies"; one of these is ''[[The Bremen Avenue Experience]]'', a [[Garage Band]] which includes [[Funny Animal]] versions of the same animals from the original folktale: a rooster, a cat, a dog, and a donkey.
