This song appears in an episode of Animaniacs. You can say what you will
about Warner Brothers, but the music they use in their cartoons is seriously
first class.
The cute song (or "I'm Cute", as it appears on the Animaniacs
album) is an absolutely brilliant, very smooth Jazz song. The music in the background
is a bit shuffle-like, with a muted piano and a double bass being picked,
a few clarinets, saxophones, muted trumpets, some string instrument (my
guess would be a cello, but it could also be a violin)
My relation to this song:
During one of my band's performances, we decided to goof out completely. I
am singing this song dressed in a pink skirt and a pink Mickey Mouse sweater
(not funny? Guess you'd have to be there. - Imagine a 6'4 tall guy with a
skinned head and sunglasses sing this song). The problem was, of course, that
our drummer had trouble keeping the pace, because he was laughing so hard
(we hadn't rehearsed this with the singing at all, to be honest - our female
lead was supposed to sing, but she got ill)
So there I stand, before about 1200 people (parents and students of a graduating
class in Norway), singing this song. Needless to say, we made a
few people very very angry, but most of the audience absolutely loved it.
watch out for falling pipe links and other debris
I'm Cute:
Dot Warner:
I'm cute, yes it's true
I really can't help it, but what can I do
When you're cute, it just shows
With these two darling eyes and this cute little nose
and a pretty pink dress,
it's adorable yes,
and when they see my dimples
then everyone says
Choir:
Oh shoot!
Isn't she cute (cute, cute, oh, isn't she cute, cute, cute)
Dot Warner:
I'm the one they adore
I'm sweet and I'm cuddly
and small just like duddley but more,
It's a chore,
to be constantly cute
and enchanting to boot
with my lips sticking out
in that cute little pout
then there just ain't no doubt
why the guys like to shout
Choir:
She's a beaut'
Dot Warner:
Let's face it, I'm cute!
Choir:
cute, cute, oh, baby, she's cute, cute, cute
Dot Warner:
Being cute: A thing you can't hide
If you look up the word in a book there's my picture beside
TV guide
- has me on the cover
Choir:
Don't you just love her
Dot Warner:
I'm simply a goddess
Choir:
And isn't she modest
Dot Warner:
I'm the answer to one of the questions in Trivial Pursuit
For who's the most cute
... etc ...
The song continues along the same lines for a while, before coming to a classy
scat-singing finale.
