Songs About Cats (or are they?)
Perhaps the most famous Cat Song is The Siamese Cat Song recorded by Peggy Lee. The song is from Walt Disney 1955 classic "The Lady and the tramp", an animated film about a classy Cocker Spaniel named Lady who falls for a long walk Barbarian a hybrid. The song however is about two arrogant cats, Si and Am, the Siamese cats given a bad name ever since.
The Siamese Cat Song was penned by Lee along with Sonny Burke and over the years has also been recorded by Freddie and The Dreamers, Mitch Miller, Dave Stewart and Barbara Gaskin, Haylie Duff, and Bobby McFerrin. "We are Siamese if you please, we are Siamese if you please."
The both loved and Petula Clark stepped into recording studios to make very different versions of The Cat in the Window, a song that compares a cat trying to get out of a window with the singer wanting to fly away. "There's a cat in the window, and he was watching all the birds go passing by, he'd love to fly out the window, go where the wind goes, and so was I. "
Who can forget the Muppets recording of The Cat came Back, a song about a kitty kept finding its way no matter how far back it was taken from the house. "But the cat came back, he'd stay away, he was sitting on the porch the very next day."
In 1950 folks were flooding into record stores and asking me I Taw a Puddy Tawt tat. Mel Blanc recorded the song, written by Alan Livingston, Billy May and Warren Foster, about the cartoon cat and canary duo Sylvester and Tweety. "I Tawt I taw a puddy tat a creeping up on me, I taw a puddy I tat as plain as he could is. "
The Rooftop Singers followed up their 1963 number one hit Walk Right In, with Tom Cat a ditty about 'Ringtail Tom' liked to go "strutting around town" "And when he steps out of all the other cats around they start to cry." Fast forward in 1981 and the record of the Cats a stray musically different song but with a very similar theme, the rockabilly stray Cat Strut. " stray cat strut, I'm a ladies' cat, A feline Casanova, hey man, where it is, get a shoe thrown at me from an old mean people, get my dinner from a trash can. "
Norma Tanega apparently owned a cat that she named 'Dog' and liked take that
cat for walks, so his 1966 hit Walking My Cat Named Dog, which seem to be about his real life experience of strolling around town with his pet cat.
Most of the songs even include the word Cat in the tile, is not really about cats at all. A great example is the fine song, Cats in the cradle by Harry Chapin. No cats do like this song, rather than the lyrics contain a very chilling message that every dad should pay heed too.
Bent textiles, real name Bent Fabricius-Bjerre, was a hit in 1962 with Alley Cat, but it is a recording process to this is not a songs about cats. Aaron was very instrumental Copeland's The Cat and the mouse.
Cat People (Putting Out Fire) by David Bowie was recorded for in 1982 film remake of Cat People. Great dark and menacing feel to the song but the words are not related to cats.
The cat in The Cat crept in, recorded through the mud is actually a girl, as was the cat featured in The Rolling Stones' stray Cat Blues, this one too sharp claws.
They Call Her the Cat, by Elton John is about, well it's not about cats! Neither is Honky Cat, another Elton tune, that one is about a country boy moving to live life to the city.
Three Cool Cats, is a song first recorded by the Coasters in 1958 and covered by The Beatles in 1962 (but not released until 1995.) Of course this song is not about cats, but about three teenage boys and three teenage girls. The Beatles also recorded Little Willie John's Leave My Kitten Alone, no surprise to find that the song is not about a kitten.
U2 recorded a song titled The Cat Dubh, which apparently means The Black Cat in Gaelic, there is no cat in the song though, black or otherwise.
No cats are in Year Cat by Al Stewart, Cat Scratch Fever by Ted Nugent, The Lovecats by The Cure or in Cool for Cats by compression. Who can say what The Cat's In the Well by Bob Dylan is about?
There must be countless other songs with the words Cat, or Cats, with title but is not actually about our feline friends. No doubt there are more songs about cats than those listed on the page, but the songs sadly seem few and far between.
But wait. . . was not a stage musical all about cat. Cats, music by
Andrew Lloyd Webber, was first shown in London, England in 1981. Based on T.
S. Eliot 's Old Slaughter's Book of Practical Cats the show features song after song about. . . Old Gumbie, Grizabella, Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer, Skimbleshanks, Old Deuteronomy, Gus, Macavity, and Mr. Mistoffelees. All the characters are, of course. . . Cats.
