The original song focuses on Dr. Dolittle commenting on how wonderful it would be to talk to animals, and how much people could learn from wildlife. The Spitting Image version, however, shows David Owen's disdain for working with or cooperating with anyone else, including his former Alliance partner David Steel. On the other hand, Paddy Ashdown is much more open-minded, and like Dolittle he comments on how fantastic it would be to work with the other Liberals. This, of course, doesn't work, and the number ends with Owen and Ashdown re-enacting the famous "Pushmi-Pullyu" scene from the film.
