What do you get when you mix Downton Abbey, Petula Clark and CATS???
*and a 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 ... to the tune of DOWNTOWN by Petula Clark*
KATIE: ♫♩
When you're a cat and life is making you crazy
you can always go –
DOWNTON
Waffles is driving, better hold on tight,
Or you won't make it to –
DOWNTON
WAFFLES: ♫♩
Just listen to my song so settle down and make some biscuits.
But look both ways for coppers cause we wouldn't want a ticket.
How can we lose?
There's no traffic here,
We'll forget all our troubles, but watch out for deer.
CHORUS: ♫♩
Let's go DOWNTON!
Things will be great when we're DOWNTON!
No cooler place for sure, DOWNTON!
The dinner gong's ringing for us.
KATIE: If you're a regular visitor here, you're probably wondering why we're spoofing a TV show on a Tuesday as opposed to our regular Saturday Morning Feature. Well Glogirly got inspired when we were updating the graphics on our Facebook Page. She had Downton Abbey on the brain, and then there was the Seinfeld rerun where George couldn't remember why he was supposed to go Downtown... throw in a little Petula Clark ear worm and here we are. And you though Lord Waffles was the crazy one.
WAFFLES: LORD Waffles??? Sweet!

I'm seriously starting to think I'm missing out on something special by not jumping on the Downton craze.
ReplyDeleteI have not seen this show either. I think there is something in Glogirly's water......
ReplyDeleteThis post just made my human's head explode! I mean, between Downton Abby, Petula Clark and Seinfeld, how could it not?
ReplyDeleteWaffles,
ReplyDeleteJust when I think I can't love you any more you become Lord Waffles and head to my favorite tv show! You are looking so handsome in your coat and tie!
Love,
Pearl from As the World Purrs

ReplyDeleteMOL!!! Those connections make sense to us .... Glogirly must be taking a new vitamin.
ReplyDeleteWait, all of this Downton Abbey stuff aside... Katie, you let Waffles DRIVE?
ReplyDeleteI think Glogirly has too much time on her hands. Love Dolly

Love those graphics. TW doesn’t watch TV but Downtown was one of the first 45s she bought as a kid. So seeing as you’re a resource for tv shows, can you recommend any other shows we may like? Hopefully they’ll star cats like Lady Katie and Lord Waffles also.
ReplyDeleteWaffles, how do you like Isis?! And now the woman is going to sing that darned song all day...
ReplyDeleteOh boy! This gives new meaning to royalty.
ReplyDeleteGreat Cat Minds think alike MOL
ReplyDeleteOMC! Now I will have to put up with my mum singing all day thinking she's Petula Clark.
ReplyDeleteLove this one!
ReplyDeleteSue B
MOL!
ReplyDeleteMiLord and MiLady, have a blast!
ReplyDeleteOMC, you two crack us up! :D
ReplyDeleteKatie darling..you look ravishing in that hat!
ReplyDeleteeeeeeeeeearwooooooooorm...!! (But mom LOVES D.A.! She is about 3 seasons behind tho. *sigh* Right where they just go to war. She'd better get her Netflix on and a lap ready for us, for marathon watching!)
ReplyDeleteBOL you have successfully passed the ear worm onto typist!
ReplyDeleteThat's what Downton Abbey needs...a couple of cats! We knew something was missing from that show! MOL! XOCK, Kitties Blue
