Snuggle, or as my wife calls him, "that barf-o bear...&
I remember the early Snuggle commercials--and I love irritating my wife by imitating the squeaky voice of Snuggle Bear (you will notice in the most recent ads, the bear seems to be mercifully mute!).
The only thing worse was the book-and-cassette offer Snuggle offered in 1986 called "Snuggle Saves the Day." I ordered it for my toddler daughter (now in college). I still have the cassette, which contains a cute story about how Snuggle untangles the matted mane of an old stuffed lion on his birthday party with "a great soft hug," and the following song, sung by you know who, which unfortunately I remember all too well...
Come on, let's have some fun,
Join in with everyone,
Sing the Snuggle song with me...
Snuggle, Snuggle, come on, cuddle up,
Snuggle, Snuggle, if there's trouble up,
You can always count on me...
If you're cranky and blue,
I'll get a hanky for you,
Sing the Snuggle song with me...
Snuggle, Snuggle, come on, cuddle up,
Snuggle, Snuggle, if there's trouble up,
You can always count on me...(ends in a series of giggles)...
It was sung to the tune of the background music used in the earliest Snuggle TV commercials...
