    My friends and I once made a compilation tape of cat songs.

    This is what we had:

    Kitty - PUSA
    * me Kitten - REM
    Love Cats - the Cure
    All Cats are Grey - the Cure
    You better leave my pussy alone - the Gruesomes
    Can your pussy do the dog? - The Cramps
    They call my baby Pussycat - Parliament
    Kitto - Legendary Pink Dots
    I am the Kitten - Momus
    Lucifer Sam - Love & Rockets
    MonsterPussy - the vaselines
    Stray Cat blues - the rolling stones

    I'm sure there were more, and we had an extended theme of other animals, as some of my friends got stuck (the obvious songs being taken)

    Can you out there think of any more?

    Cat's In the Cradle-


By Willy Nilly on Monday, July 31, 2000 - 07:00 pm:

    I remembered a few more:

    How does that grab you - Nancy Sinatra
    Wank - Maow (they've got a few... used to be called Meow)

    My friends and I eventually noticed that there was a sub-theme on most of the songs.

    The same thing happens when you come up with songs about candy, e.g.: I want candy [bow wow wow], prove my love [violent femmes], candy and a currant bun [pink floyd] &c.

    what's new pussy cat? - tom undie eatin jones


By Willy Nilly on Monday, July 31, 2000 - 09:16 pm:

    Ah, yes... Stray cat strut. No one had a copy of that, I believe.

    Cat people by David Bowie
    Everybody wants to be a cat - the Artistocats (the movie, d'uh!)

    (I wish I was a) Catfish - Jimi Hendrix
    Puss Puss Pussy - Evolution Control Committee

    What's new Pussycat... I don't think that one even occurred to anyone!

    I like the theme song to Josie and the Pussycats.

    I was watching that last night and I noticed how much it was like Scooby Doo. I couldn't belive it, they might as well have been the same show!


By M on Tuesday, August 1, 2000 - 11:15 am:

    cat scratch feva - ted nugget
    year of the cat - al stewart

    Josie and Scoobie - damn those meddling kids!

    Tommy The Cat - Primus
    Caterwaul -Nothin' But trash
    Pink Pussy Cat-DEVO
    El Pussycat - Roland Alphonso


By Willy Nilly on Tuesday, August 1, 2000 - 10:13 pm:

    hey, thanks semillama... I've never heard of those! Very intrepid!

    I got a cat today. he's a little stray with a bad eye. He must have something else too because he's stinky. I don't know whether I can keep him (technically my land lord doesn't want pets... but what harm can a little kitty cat do? The tenants upstairs have a dog... but they're related to the land lord... offspring)

    I don't have a name yet... Angus is working well for a start...

    My cats name is Maceo- janes addiction


By Willy Nilly on Wednesday, August 2, 2000 - 11:47 am:

    I've actually decided not to name the cat. I'm going to make him all better and try to find him a home. Poor thing. I can't really keep a kitty, the more I think about it... I'm not really in a permanent situation right now.

    Maceo is a good name, though.

    Good Lord! How'd I forget that one! (slaps forehead)


By droogy on Sunday, August 6, 2000 - 02:03 pm:

    since i'm neither hip, happenin', or now, i offer:

    pussy cat dues - charles mingus
    black cat hoot owl blues - ma rainey
    felix the cat - bix beiderbecke

    what is alternatively known as '(i wish i was a) catfish' or 'catfish blues' (from the bbc/radio 1 recordings), is in fact jimi doing muddy waters' 'rollin' stone'.

    mckinley morganfield had a black cat bone.


By Willy Nilly on Sunday, August 6, 2000 - 05:46 pm:

    I didn't know that about the jimi hendrix song... I'm not very familiar with the blues, but I intend to change that...

    thanks again for all your suggestions!

By Willy Nilly on Monday, August 7, 2000 - 10:23 am:

    Cub's got a few other songs that mention cats... I can hear the line, but can't remember the song...

    "there's more than one way to skin a cat"

    which I know is a proverb, but they use it in a song off their last album, I'm pretty sure.
