Funday Furkids: Dancing Cheek to Cheek

The Furkids first heard “Dancing Cheek to Cheek” when their Auntie Marti played it for them – it’s one of her favourites.

Next thing I know they’re insisting that I move our entire schedule forward a week to fit it in! I am but a humble servant of the Funday Furbutts team so the schedule was duly amended and a blank spot cleared for Sunday, August 29th.

I found a copy of the video for our jukebox but then we had a bit of a problem: Fred Astaire only sings for the first half of the song — what was I to do with the second half of the recording which is entirely instrumental (it being rather too difficult for Fred to sing while twirling Ginger about the floor).

But the team had a solution, bless them. They’d write their own version of the lyrics and continue with those in the second half of the song. They are clever little furkids! Though I did have to “tidy up” their lyrical suggestions a tad (“My lub fur yu is never bleak; I lubs ya coz you’re such a freak” was lost to posterity).

We hope you enjoy it.

As usual, just press play then scroll down through the illustrated lyrics and sing along!
