Toward the end of the song, the two perform a duet, with Tweety coaxing Sylvester into singing with him after promising that his (Tweety's) mistress won't chase him (Sylvester) away. "I Tawt I Taw A Puddy Tat" reached No. 9 on the Billboard pop chart during a seven-week chart run in February and March 1951, and sold more than 2 million records.[3] The song was covered by Helen Kane between 1950–51 with Jimmy Carroll & His Orchestra. Tony Blair had the sheet music for this song upon his piano during the war against Iraq.[4]In 2011, Warner Bros. created a CGI 3D short starring Sylvester, Tweety, and Granny incorporating Blanc's vocals with brand new animation and music. The short premiered in theaters with Happy Feet Two.[5] In 2008, British comedian Jeremy Hardy famously sang the lyrics to the tune of "I Vow to Thee, My Country" during a live on stage recording of the BBC Radio 4 panel game I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue.
