Mickey Mouse Clubhouse
It’s the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse
Come inside, it’s fun inside …
Yeah, these are the lyrics that keep playing in your head when there’s a two-year-old in the house who just has to watch Mickey Mouse every single day.
What else?
Hot dog hot dog hot diggidy dog ….
Hey, that one’s actually quite addictive. You really want to do the Goofy dance with that one.
Of course, there’s also the world-famous classic:
Who’s the leader of the club that’s made for you and me?
M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E
Here I’d like to comment on Mickey Mouse Clubhouse - Mickey’s Great Clubhouse Hunt (now on DVD!)
The synopsis: Mickey and gang are preparing to have an Easter party. Pete, who thinks he isn’t invited, hatches a plan to be the leader of the Clubhouse, so that he can invite himself. Unfortunately he says the wrong magic words and the Clubhouse floats off in different pieces. Mickey then goes through all sorts of adventures to get his Clubhouse back. In the end all is well as Pete finds that he had been keeping Mickey’s invitation in his back pocket all the while.
Mickey is very cool. He wasn’t even remotely upset with Pete for ruining his party. Instead, he consistently sought out Pete’s help to find the pieces of the Clubhouse.
It’s interesting that Mickey is accepted as the natural leader by everybody. Even Pete finally concedes that it’s just too much work to be leader. Now why would people, I mean, characters accept a nerdy mouse as leader. Perhaps this is to show that we shouldn’t be stuck in a racial mindset? Just let the most suitable person, I mean, character lead. Revolutionary stuff.
Why is Donald’s voice quacky, whereas Daisy’s is not?
Daisy and Minnie both wear ribbons, dresses and mary janes. In 2008. Right. Perhaps T-shirts and jeans for girls never caught on in Mickey Country.
I still can’t tell whether Pete is a supposed to be a dog or a wolf. But I like his colourful language. For swear/exclamation words, he never says the same thing. I can remember three: “ding dong”, “oh, promeganates”, and “well, paint me a polka-dot rabbit and sit me in the plastic green grass.” Mickey, on the other hand, just says “gee” every time.
Oh, and like Pete, I can never remember the right magic words. Are they “meeska mooska Mickey Mouse” or “mooska meeska Mickey Mouse”?

I got this cd too and can’t get the songs out of my mind! Really catchy I gotta agree.
If my son hears the word Bob he would then tearfully ask me to play the episodes. Since I don’t have astro, I only have 4 episodes for him to watch…yeah over and over again.
And I thought I could avoid all this cartoon watching…haya cannot lah.
