Cat Music (silliness for a Thursday)

[scarlettina]

Shortly after I adopted my beloved Flatbush, I began crooning to him. Usually I'd sing to him when we were heading to the vet, but I then began to sing to him more often. Usually it was just random silliness. Eventually, however, I realized that the first lines of the Beatles song, "Blackbird" scanned really well for a typical Flatbush behavior.

Oh lord, now you've got me thinking of all the songs we've sung to our ferrets... like "Figie the Queen of the Foos" to the tune of "Lydia the Tattooed Lady" and "I Ate My Chewie/The Theme Song to the Gus-Gus of Seville", "Dexter the Foo" to "Felix the Cat", and the Gus-alluia Chorus. Taz never had a theme song, unless it was "Taz, Taz, Taz of the Jungle!"

Though for Spanky, I think perhaps something to the tune of "Davy Crockett":

Spanky! Spanky-Doodle!
King of the Cranky Cats!

(naturally I can't remember the rest of the tune...)

Or possibly to "Ricky":

O Spanky, you're so fine
You're cranky, cranky all the time!
Hey Spanky! Hey Spanky!

Hey Spanky, you're all mine
You shed upon me all the time!
Hey Spanky, Hey Spanky!

O Spanky, you're so pudgy,
But you're my special boy
You know you own my heart
but you treat it like a toy

...

And that's where I lose it.

We may be on to something with either of these.

As for your last remark, well, yes, but you excel at stating the obvious. ;-)

Well... y'know... I am a very bad person....

And now I'm ad-libbing "Ricky" everywhere.

Good gods.

Funny, and thanks, I think. :)

I'm sorry... mostly.
