So nicknames and singing ARE universal! I'm SOOO glad I'm not alone!

Big Mac (the 17 lber)gets "Mr. Big Stuff" by the Staples Singers. He also gets the Fatboy chorus from the Silverchair song "Tomorrow".

A passed kitty named Yankee (she and her sister Doodle were born to a foster in my closet on July 4) always got "Yankee, Yankee, you're so fine" from that song "Micky" by a singer unknown to me. Her sister never got called Doodle, somehow the nickname Boosie stuck. I don't even remember now how it evolved but I always sang the Talking Heads song "She Was" to her. (I think it came from me always cooing to her "Boo-wuzzy was a fuzzy wuzzy boo-boo, yes she was."

Another passed cat, Cosmo, always got the Michael Murphy song "Cosmic Cowboy".

I left Yankee, Boosie and Cosmo off my nickname post earlier because they died in an accident together almost two years ago, and it's still very painful for me to talk or write about them without choking up, but that trio was so lovable they are the ones that started me hanging all kinds of funny handles on my cats. Maybe if this thread continues I'll be able to list them one day. But I'm suddenly digressing from a really happy post to a sad one! So- cheer me up, tell me what songs y'all sing to your fuzzy friends!
