My instant context for that song from "Gypsy", Jesse, is Michael Jeter singing it to Amanda Plummer in The Fisher King.
That...sounds amazing.
Maybe she's holding out for something from Cats.
Ooh! I could work up a little something.
Xander: Am I right, Giles? Giles: I'm almost certain you're not. Though, to be fair, I haven't been
listening.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Cat-who-is-not-my-cat.
There's a cat in my neighborhood who has humans and a nice house, and she's an indoor/outdoor cat. So she roams freely. One day a post appeared on Nextdoor with a picture of the cat, and the person was concerned, thinking the cat was lost, because it was clearly well fed and well cared for.
One by one, the replies were other people posting pictures of the cat on their porch/in their yard, etc. The cat is well known for her gregariousness. We have nicknamed her Not My Cat.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I make up songs much more for Mac than the pets, but I do have the hola gatos song to the tune of oh my darlin Clementine and just the one line of Domo arigato senores gatos from Mr. Roboto which really doesn't work anymore with the one cat.

I do randomly sing "piso mojado...what a wonderful phrase" when I see one of those wet floor signs (to the tune of "hakuna matata") But there are no pets involved, just weirdo me.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
UGH. The "it's 5 o'clock somewhere!" rule shouldn't apply to April Fool's jokes.
Currently it's 2:00 somewhere, where my favourite April Fool's news story was this one: [link]

We have a song for Taz that Tom made up, called "Doughnut Cat."

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
My cats come running for the Tuna Song.

Oh, man, billytea, now I totally want to be able to have my bank app send me an ATM drone! That would be so handy!

I adapted Golum's song about fish for when Bartleby would come in with wet feet.
I'd bellow FEET and he would flop over and stick his paws in the air.
While wiping each, I would sing,"juicy fish, good to eat, wipewipewipwwipe wipe the feet.
We would both giggle...in our own way.
I would also sing You Are My Sunshine to him a lot.
Cagney has no ear for music.

Yeah, remind me to stay off the internet tomorrow.
