So here’s a little ditty that, unlike most of the tunes I serenade (read: torture) the animals with, cannot be sung to the cat. (Well, I guess it could, but it would lose a little something if “dog” were changed to “cat”.)
This is to the tune of “God-Shaped Hole” by Plumb, which you may have heard on the Bruce Almighty soundtrack. If not, here’s a brief clip to give you an idea how it goes. (This clip doesn’t cover all of the, um, “improved” lyrics, because I wanted to keep it under 30 seconds. You can hear the whole thing at Last.fm if you’re interested.)
And now, I present the “Dog-Shaped Hole” song:
“Dog-Shaped Hole”
Every puppy wants some lap time
And every lap should have a puppy
To help to keep it warm
That’s the way I see itYou can tell them not to dump the garbage
You can tell them not to shred their stuffies
And that stealing’s bad
But they don’t believe itThere’s a dog-shaped hole
In all of us
And a restless pup is whiningThere’s a dog-shaped hole
In all of us
And it’s a void
Only they can fill …
The Oceanside Animals

Sometimes my Mommie tries to sing to me. I must close my ears very tightly so I cannot hear it. ::shivers::

Very cool lyrics. We approve! Now until we actually hear you sing Jim, we won’t be able to comment on how your singing them to Dennis might affect him….
