Red and Rover by Brian Basset for December 10, 2017

I first heard of dog dancing on “King of the Hill” years ago.

How much is that doggie in the window

With the basketball nose on his face

You know what a basketball nose is

It dribbles all over the place.

This is better than anything on Dancing With The Stars!

Sugar-frosted cereals are the best!

Love this! Keep on dancing, boys. With love and hugs to Red and Rover

One of my favorite songs as a kid!

What beautiful artwork and sentiment! Thank you my little darlings, and Brian Basset!

Wipe that grin off that dog’s chin! Dogs will tolerate dancing, out of respect, but do not like it.

Amazing animation illustration.

The Doggie In The Window

Patti Page

How much is that doggie in the window?

The one with the waggly tail

How much is that doggie in the window?

I do hope that doggie’s for sale

I must take a trip to California

And leave my poor sweetheart alone

If he has a dog, he won’t be lonesome

And the doggie will have a good home

How much is that doggie in the window?

The one with the waggly tail

How much is that doggie in the window?

I do hope that doggie’s for sale

I read in the papers there are robbers

With flashlights that shine in the dark

My love needs a doggie to protect him

And scare them away with one bark

I don’t want a bunny or a kitty

I don’t want a parrot that talks

I don’t want a bowl of little fishies

He can’t take a goldfish for a walk

How much is that doggie in the window?

The one with the waggly tail

How much is that doggie in the window?

I do hope that doggie’s for sale

May I cut in? Hey! No twerking!

Children had so much fun with this song! Bob Merrill produced so much more than a vehicle for Patti Page’s magnificent vocalization – he produced a entryway for countless ‘parodies’ (Homer & Jethro’s was the best, in my opinion) and a music ‘bug’ that will infest hundreds if not thousands of minds,now, for hours if not days! The Christmas Time ‘gift’ that keeps on giving!

Well today it’s Blue and Rover!

Great art today Brian. Especially on the poses of Rover.
