Songs from Film " Gay Purr-ee." Sung by Judy Garland. In 1962, Arlen and E.Y.Harburg were asked to write songs for a full-length animated film "Gay Purr-ee." Edward Jablonski, Arlen biographer describes the story of" The female cat , Mewsette, would speak and sing with the voice of Judy Garland telling the story of a restless country feline, who slips onto a Paris-bound train in search of bib-city adventure." Garland loved working with Arlen and Harburg again who wrote two major Garland songs," The sweetly simple " Little Drops of Rain" and the complex, moody, "Paris is a Lonely Town." Both songs demonstrate Arlen and Harburg's versatility in writing both child-like songs and more sophisticated and uniquely constructed song forms as in " Paris is a Lonely Town."
