So there's a dog singing the lyrics to an old pop song, and that's what you notice?

Much more than just "an old pop song" and the dog is not singing the lyrics to an old pop song.



Apparently you don't know what a mondegreen is and appear to have missed the key element of the joke.



The joke was that Dorothy's dog named Toto was supposedly repeating a line from a famous song by the band Toto.

Unfortunately that often repeated line is a common mondegreen which rather spoils the joke.
