Cat Songs

Did you know the reason humans (especially females) are drawn to cats is due to the great similarity in proportion between a cat’s face and a human baby’s face? I’m no different, so here are some rockin’ cat-related songs.

  1. Stray Cats – “Stray Cat Strut”
    Ok, this one is pretty obvious.
  2. The Cure – “The Lovecats”
    So wonderfully, wonderfully, wonderfully, wonderfully pretty…
  3. Faster Pussycat – “Cathouse”
    Maybe this one really isn’t about cats…
  4. Janet Jackson – “Black Cat”
    Damn that opening riff is sweet.
  5. New York Dolls – “Courageous Cat”
    Read about this one in BT #58 in the awesome Sylvain Sylvain interview.
  6. Tom Jones – “What’s New Pussycat?”
    Too good not to include…
  7. Ted Nugent – “Cat Scratch Fever”
    Yet another song perhaps not really about cats. One of this right winger’s few songs I really like though.
  8. David Bowie – “Cat People (Putting Out Fire)”
    Putting out fire with gasoline…
  9. London After Midnight – “Black Cat”
    Pretty decent spooky song.
  10. Little Fujiko – “I Wanna Be Your Cat”
    Noodling fuzzy guitars and a little girl-sounding Japanese chick chanting “I wanna be your cat.” Wacky.
