The Puppy Song

Scroll down for a little mood music:

“The Puppy Song” by Harry Nilsson was originally written at Paul McCartney’s request. He wanted it for Mary Hopkin, an 18-year-old singer that McCartney had signed to Apple Records and whose first album, Post Card would feature her version of the song.  If the tune seems familiar to some of you, it’s because it was used in the opening credits of the 1998 move, You’ve Got Mail. It was also heard at the end of the first episode of the FX series, Wilfred. David Cassidy also sang it in his double A-side single “Daydreamer”/”The Puppy Song” reaching #1 on the UK Singles Chart.
