FELINE FIESTA!

ok, so you all love your cats SO much, so this should be a cinch!!

i need names of artists, bands, songs, albums, or particularly members of bands[1] that have something to do with cats. preferably containing one of the following:

CAT
KITTY
KITTEN
TIGER

you get the idea...WUNH has a show called "saturday night special", which is just a theme show that any dj can sign up for if they have an idea, and a friend of mine and i are doing the FELINE FIESTA! oh boy it's going to be HILARIOUS. but we need to compile at least 3 hours of feline music in order to do it. so help a sista out! i know you guys have all this stuff just sitting in your brains waiting for good application. here's your chance! :)

[1]again, the WUNH format caveat--we play almost strictly independent and small/indie-label music. ie, no springsteen or U2...follow? yes, it's annoying. yes, they're stupid kids just trying to earn indie cred, but whatever. i have to play their game for now. there IS great indie music out there, seriously. some of the stuff we play is AWESOME! but yes, i'll grant that some of it sucks, too.

The Love Cats, by the Cure.  Staring at the Sea album

the song has a campy quality with wonderful 'meow' moments.

Nashville Pussy, a band from...you guessed it, Nashville!

"Don't Dress Your Cat in Pajamas" from Free to Be You and Me

Rod met Nashville Pussy and partied with them last year..they're quite something!

sort of like SCOTS gone mad!

I was thinking of Dellihla (spelled wrong) by Queen

oO mee-yao Oo

Cats Laughing!! (link) Now defunct but, ah, how I love them.

try CDDB - you'll find more stuff than you can play.

There's a bit in Eddie from Ohio's Maylee I Had a Dream about cats.

"You bought me a kitty cat, It made me cry.  I've always been allergic to kitty cats."

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyleeeeeeeeeeee! (Sorry, I just like the song so much ;).

And it ends..."You bought me a kitty cat, and that's just fine....My dog enjoys chewing, on your kitty caaaaaaaat...!"

I LOVE that icon!!!

Eddie From Ohio-Maylee

 

Anything off the album "A cat shaped hole in my heart" from Project Records!

Erin Corday: El Tigre

It's either in Spanish or Portugese, she sings in both and I don't remember precisely which one this song is in.

Tiger Balm by Junkhouse - great Hamiltonian rockers :)

Brooks Williams has a song called "O Leaozinoh" Which translared into english mean "Little Lion"

Al Stewart - Year of the Cat

Elton John - Honky Cat

ooh ooh! Don't remember if you can download it from the site or not, but comedy musician Steve Goodie (gets played on Dr. Demento with his Harry Potter-themed Beatles/Who parodies) has this out of control song called "Whiskers and Me" see if you can get it off of www.stevegoodie.com

Jethro Tull - Pussywillow

Lords of Acid - Pussy

2 Live Crew - we want some pussy

Heh. The first band that I thought of was Lords of Acid. But I didn't know if it was the kind of thing Beth was looking for. But what the hell. In a similiar vein: "Pussy Town" by Machine Gun Fellatio.

And some more:

Songs
Heather Alexander - "Cat and the Fiddle"
Rusted Root - "Cat Turned Blue"

Bands
Kittie
When the Cats Away (though I think they completely suck)

heehee...

Theri - what about "Cats Love Bands"? ;-)

How could I forget Cats Love Bands?!! That's just unforgiveable. ;)

Lords of Acid! I was trying to think of that name when I read this, because that's the only song I could think of with cats in it. Other than that "the cat came back, the very next day, the cat came back, he just couldn't stay away." song.

the saturday night special theme night sounds like so much fun, good luck with it! :)

There's a mexican (I think) band called "Los Tigres Del Norte" that is totally mainstream in Latin America, but might be alternative in NH.

There was a band called the Tigers Of Pan Tang...some horrible metal outfit.

And the group Squeeze did a song called "Cool For Cats" which is excellent by the way!

"William Shakespeare's in my cat" by the Arrogant Worms

Rubbishy 80's  blonde brit boyband Bros had a song called "Cat Among The Pigeons"

On the album 'Ram' by Paul McCartney he sings the line "Hold on cats and kittens" in the song 'Monkberry Moon Delight'.

There is a song by Prince (symbol thingy) called "Pussy Control" on the Gold Experience album although the lyrics have very little to do with felines *S*.

Roy Orbison does an impression of a cat's purr in the song "Pretty Woman"

it makes me so

SAD TODAY

.oO I stole your hat, and I hanged your cat Oo.

A friend of mine wrote a poem dedicated to his cat:

Ode to my Cat

O, my furry, purry, fat cat!

You are so fat, my furry cat!

You are so purry, my furry cat!

You remind me of my mother's hat!
