Old 97s, "Murder (Or a Heart Attack)" -- about Rhett's cat, or so I heard

Definitely, Rhett Miller said as much as a show.

Sorry, s/b "at a show".

"Cats are good for sexual meanings, independence, and...what else?"

BAD LUCK, Egyptian mythology, magic/witches/spirits, etc.

Another great one is Muddy Waters' "Tom Cat"

Dogs, Terry Jacks' brilliantly titled "Put The Bone In" wins it by a wet nose.

OMFG. Just listened to the link. I'm speechless.

As for the theory that dogs are somehow a less versatile symbol than cats, I'd like to remind the jury of "Hellhound on my Trail", "The Hungry Wolf" (following the lead of expanding the question to all sorts of canids and felids), "Howling at the Moon" and for fucks sake it's right there in the header "Atomic Dog."

Uh, how about Big Mama Thornton / Elvis "You Ain't Nothing But A Hound Dog"? And Zep's "Black Dog"? And, well, just about anything by Snoop Dogg (not to mention The Buckinghams' "Ballad of Snoopy And The Red Baron")? And, of course, "Me And You And A Dog Named Boo"? And the dog in "Mr. Bojangles"? And "If Dogs Run Free"? And Was (Not Was)'s "What Up, Dog"? And, a great, great song, Happy & Artie Traum's "The Hungry Dogs Of New Mexico"? And, far more obscurely, Juana Molina's great "El Perro", The Low Road's "Just Another Dog In This Town", and the appearance of Dr. Buzzard's cockapoo in "I'll Always Have A Smile For You"?

Dogs win.

But I have to say that I enjoy "A Plea From A Cat Named Virtute" and "Murder (Or A Heart Attack)" a whole lot. And "Stray Cat Blues". But with cats, you have to deal with "Cats", and lots of points come off for that.

jacktronix - 'kitty kitty bang bang' with sounds like cats meowing

― nique (nique), Friday, 3 February 2006 21:03 (eighteen years ago) link

"Hound Dog," great as it is, is cancelled out by the answer track "Bear Cat."

And I say this as a dog booster.
