about

Catnap shows up every night to help the Smiling Critters get to sleep, but he's been visiting earlier recently, and his breath doesn't smell like Lavender anymore...

I LOVE the Care Bears franchise as it was a huge part of my childhood, and the instant Poppy Playtime Chapter 3 revealed the main antagonists would be a Care Bears parody, I KNEW I had to write a song about these little goobers. A couple months work later, and here we are!

Many things inspired this number, with the original 80s Care Bears tunes being the biggest one. I watched FIVE HOURS of Care Bears over and over just to make sure I got it right. I hope you all enjoy this Trip (heheh) through Memory Lane!
