You may recall that (Sir) Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical, "Cats" was a great hit some years ago. Webber decides to repeat his triumph with another musical, this time called "Dogs". They hold the auditions in a West End theatre. The first aspiring star goes on stage and asks, "What do you want me to sing ?" The director shouts back, "Anything you like, so long as it's about dogs."

"Ok", says the actor. "You ain't nothin' but a hound dog, cryin' all the time. You ain't nothin' but a hound dog ..."

"Thank you!", shouts the director. "We'll call you. Next !" The second actor comes on stage. "What do you want me to sing ?"

"Anything you like, about dogs."

"Right. How much is that doggie in the window ..."

"We'll let you know", shouts the director. "NEXT!" Enter the third wannabe, who asks, "What do you want me to sing ?"

"Anything you like, about dogs."

"Sure.

Strangers in the night, exchanging glances
Wondering in the night, what were the chances
We'll be sharing love before the night was through
Something in your eyes was so inviting
Something in your smile was so exciting
Something in my heart told me I must have you ..."


"HOLD IT !" shouts the director. "Before we throw you out of the theatre, would you care to tell us what that song has to do with dogs ?"


The actor shouts back, "Hang on ! I haven't got to that bit yet.

Scooby-dooby-doo, be do be do be ..."
