Torties in Toyland #MewsicMovesMe

Meows from Mudpie!

My good friend CK at Stunning Keisha has selected the prompt for the Mewsic Moves Me blog hop once again this week, and she chose a topic near and dear to my heart...in honor of Black Friday and the holiday shopping season, songs about toys (people or animal toys). 

I'm a tortie who loves to have fun, and given the choice between playing and eating, give me a good toy any day!


I have the honors of selecting our first toy-themed tune, the classic Chipmunks Christmas Song. Mommy asked me to relay a fun bit of trivia she found...in November 1958 Conway's It's Only Make Believe was #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks, followed by To Know Him Is To Love Him by The Teddy Bears, and The Chipmunk Song was #1 for the last 2 weeks of the year. Leave it to Mommy to find a connection between Conway and the Chipmunks!



Better grab a cat to cuddle because this one's gonna make you cry your eyes out!









We hope you enjoyed our choices this week!
Let us know if you have a favorite!

Melissa & Mudpie,

The Chipmunks are so adorable - I love 'em! Your playset for today's theme is spot on and classic. I always liked 'The Teddy Bear Song' and it's been awhile hearing it. Have a blessed Thanksgiving with those you love, my furriends! Thank you for being good blog friends! xx

I didn't break down when I played "Teddy Bear." I thought it was a sweet song and it had a great ending. Nice set!

Great choice MP! I love the Chipmunks song. Did you know in the 70s or 80s they put out a country CD and a punk one. You can guess which one she bought. We actually shared one of the same songs but by a different artist.

I love the Chipmunks song. Nice choices. Thank you for the kind words you left on my blog for the loss of KaTwo. XO

Fantastic song choices! Now, don't mind me as I just sit over here singing The Chipmunks Song on repeat. Purrs!

Great song choices, Mudpie and Mom Melissa! Of course, now the Chipmunk Song is stuck in my head. :)

Happy Thanksgiving!

As adorable as the Chipmunks song is, there is that Sad Song Teddy Bear. Sometimes songs like that are just a bit fake but when I lived in Arkansas years ago I knew a number of truckers (it was a common way for people living out in the country, as I did, to make a living) and I can believe every word of that song.
