Artist: The Presidents Of The United States Of America
Song: Kitty
Year: 1995
Album: The Presidents Of The United States Of America
The band's name is a mouthful, but the music is poppy and sublime. Fans usually call them PUSA for short. After a hugely successful single, "Lump", fans rediscovered this single that was released shortly before. When "Lump" shot up the charts, people were looking for anything that would satisfy their blood lust for PUSA. So, naturally, they turned to other tracks on the debut album and anything that was released prior.
"Kitty" is a piece of pure pop gold. It doesn't get nearly as much credit as "Lump" or "Peaches" gets. If you stretch your imagination, "Kitty" could be about anything. On the surface, it's about an outside cat and its owner. Although, many people think it's about an unfaithful girlfriend. I tend to be more optimistic and take the lyrics at face value for this one.
I was a huge PUSA fan in the mid nineties. I thought all of their songs were well crafted and catchy. I still listen to most of the songs today. They seem to be a band with a sense of humor and good nature. I would call them a grunge band with "Weird Al" Yankovic tendencies. I can remember my friends shout in the line about the kitty spending the night outside. If nothing else, I'll hang on to that memory for the rest of my life.
Lyrics:
Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow
Meow, meow
Meow, meow
Little bag of bones been out all night
Little bag of bones been out all night
Can you hear him, scratchin' at the screen door
Can you hear him, scratchin' at the screen door
Little bag of bones been out all night
He needs some pettin' and lovin' on his head
He needs some pettin' and lovin' on his rain-soaked hide
He's circlin' around my ankle
He's circlin' around my ankle
He needs some pettin' and lovin' on his hide
Hey Kitty won't you come inside
Kitty at my foot and I wanna touch it
Kitty at my foot and I wanna touch it
Kitty at my foot and I wanna touch it
Kitty at my foot and I wanna touch it
Kitty at my foot and I wanna touch it
Kitty at my foot and I wanna touch it
Kitty at my foot and I wanna touch it
Kitty at my foot and I want to touch it
Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow
Meow, meow
Meow, meow
Pussy purrin' and lookin' so satisfied
Pussy purrin' and lookin' so satisfied
I'm Lost in his little yellow round eye
Lost in his little yellow round eye
Pussy purrin' and lookin' so satisfied
Kitty rear up and scratch me through my jeans
Kitty rear up and scratch me through my jeans
Fuck you, Kitty you're gonna to spend the night
Fuck you, Kitty you're gonna to spend the night
Fuck you, Kitty you're gonna to spend the night outside
Kitty at my foot and I wanna touch it
Kitty at my foot and I wanna touch it
Kitty at my foot and I wanna touch it
Kitty at my foot and I wanna touch it
Kitty at my foot and I wanna touch it
Kitty at my foot and I wanna touch it
Kitty at my foot and I wanna touch it
Kitty at my foot and I want to touch it
Touch it, I want to touch it
I wanna touch it, I wanna touch it
I wanna touch it, wanna touch it
I wanna touch it
Kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty touch it
Kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty touch it
Kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty touch it
Kitty at my foot and I want to touch it
