Just woke my wife up with "Daddy's Whiskers" (just realized how terrible that sounds, but whatever, I'm too tired to backspace right now.)
I'm a few years younger than you, but definitely had a lot of Disney records -- some were hand-me-downs and others, like the "Dick Tracy" storybook, were brand new.
Growing up in the 90s was all about "cool" Disney, when Michael Eisner was trying to get the teens in. So I had a lot of Disney stuff pushed on me with Mickey wearing shades and Goofy in baggy gangsta pants. And of course there was "Whoomp! (There It Went)" -- their collab with Tag Team.
We had similar things, just different fads. I was born in the disco era and so we had Mickey Mouse Disco, Disco Duck, and Macho, Macho Duck before the 80s hit us with Mickey Mouse Splashdance and, hot on the heels of Jazzercise, Mousercise!
I hope you woke your wife up with the song Daddy's Whiskers and not your actual whiskers. One man's childhood song is another man's grounds for assault charges. I guess on the bright side you can use long whiskers to cover up in the jailhouse shower.
Yeah -- it was the song. She asked me groggily, "Whaaaaaa?" I do very much remember "Mousercise" -- one of the early shows on the Disney Channel that we watched (I think, before school?).
One of my craziest childhood experiences was going to a taping of the Mickey Mouse Club (rebranded as the MMC for the 90s) and spending 3 hours in a cold studio with about 190 other 12-year-olds, as well as Justin Timberlake, Brittney Spears, Kerri Russell, Ryan Gosling, etc., etc. They were all instructed to, I guess, come and just hang out with the various batches of kids between set pieces. It was pretty cool, but I also just remember thinking how much other stuff I'm missing out on doing in the Park.
Nice trim, Rob! I am a little bit older (57) and missed most of this stuff - a couple of years when you're a kid is a huge culture gap. In 1980 I was in junior high (13 years old) and majorly into Garfield (I know, it's a cross I bear). That is...a weird song.
