Annette Funicello Turned 64 Sunday


We'll, it's been a few days since I haven't posted a birthday, I apologised for that. Anntette turned 64 this past Sunday. She was one of the original Mouseketeers on the original "Mickey Mouse Club" back in the 1950's. She starred in numerous movies like "The Shaggy Dog", "Babes in Toyland", "The Horsemasters", the "Elfego Baca" mini-series, "The Misadventures of Merlin Jones" and "The Monkey's Uncle". She also co-starred with Frankie Avalon in "Beach Party", "How to Stuff a Wild Bikini" and "Beach Blanket Bingo". Those are not Disney movies. She also starred in "Back to the Beach" in 1987, she made a cameo in "Head" starring the 60's group the Monkees and it was huge flop in 1968. She released a many of her albums including songs like "Tall Paul", "Pineapple Princess", "Blame It on the Bossa Nova", "Beach Party Tonight" and many othersShe also starred in a TV movie based on her autobiography of her life entitled "A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes". Annette has been a Disney Legend for a number of years. She had enough. I wosh Annette would be the best. I have the album "Tubba the Tuba" in which she did the narrator on that record. I will wish her a happy birthday.
 
Happy Birthday, Annette! You are a wonderful lady and a symbol of all that is great about Walt Disney Productions.

Your upbeat music has lifted my mood on many a gloomy day. Thanks for all the good times in Toyland and your many swingin' Beach Parties!

Who's the little lady who's as dainty as a dream?
Who's the one you can't forget?
I'll give you just three guesses,
Annette, Annette, Annette.

Ask the birds and ask the bees and ask the stars above,
Who's their favorite sweet brunette?
You know each one confesses,
Annette, Annette, Annette.

Thank you, Annette!
