God Loves a Terrier

[SparkyJonesMom]

I just finished watching the mockumentary film called "Best in Show." I don't know if anyone has heard of it, but it's a comedy that pokes fun at the world of dog shows, and it's really funny. There isn't a Cairn in it, but one of the main dogs is a Norwich Terrier, so there is still plenty of terrier cuteness to see. There was one scene where the owners of the terrier sang a song they wrote, and it's just great! I'm sure everyone here will love it. Here's the lyrics (I replaced Norwich with Cairn):

"God loves a terrier

yes he does

God loves a terrier

that's because

small sturdy bright and true

they give their love to you

God didn't miss a stitch

be it dog or be it bitch

when he made the Cairn merrier

with his cute little 'derrier'

yes God loves a terrier!"

And if you want to watch the scene and hear the tune of the song, here's a link to the video clip:

That movie, that song, and the small group of actrons that make

these mockumentaries have long been among my favorites.

Same group produced: This is Spinal Tap, Waiting for Guffman,

A Mighty Wind, For Your Consideration.

Keep in mind that Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer

have actually played and sung the music in all of these...even though

they're classified as comedians. The whole group including

Catherine O'Hara, Eugene Levy and other recognizable actors

involved with these projects are all incredible talents.

Enjoy!

Peggy and I sometimes amuse ourselves on road trips listing types of nuts :-)

One of my FAVORITE movies. I love when Catherine O'Hara and Eugene Levy (real life husband and wife!) are arguing with the front desk about their credit card. "I only got ONE notice.. just ONE notice" Then they call "They said they sent two" So they sleep in a broom closet.

Those whole line of movies are great. They're mostly ad libbed with very loose scripts to allow the actors to really do what they do best!! Hmm now I want to see it. Maybe I need to go and rent it.

Big fan of all those movies here too! One of the highlights of Best in Show was that song! Thanks for the lyrics.

A truly sick thing to do is to watch "Best In Show" with show friends in the motorhome at a dog show. Sick Sick Sick

And...Yes, God Loves A Terrier!

But he must have a twisted sense of humor to allow humans to sing that song.........

Greg,

Are you intimating that you actually have watched "Best In Show" under those conditions?

Boy oh boy would I have loved to be sitting around during that session.
