Everybody Wants to Be a Cat

Once again it’s been a while since my last track on the virtual lp. I’ve started playing piano again of late. Not sure what’s triggered it, but it’s fun. Here’s a mimosa toast to piano, on this Saturday morn.
Specifically, my daughter brought home a great Disney songbook, which led to this here mini-cover of “Everybody Wants to Be a Cat” from Disney’s immortal Aristocats. (Not to be confused with more recent and slightly more mortal flick entitled The Aristocrats, particularly on family movie night.)
Thanks for listening…..

    I’m surprised there are no comments yet. This is really great! the playing & vocalization are fun. I was glad to listen to it in a quiet spot, but I think about hearing it with Hanna yesterday. I still hear her saying, “This is you?” with worshipful incredulousness.
    (Minor critique: I still want to slap your paws when you use filters.) The lyrics are different from what I remember. I remember stuff about a square with a horn. These seem more grown-up, in a good, jazz way. Howzabout a full-length version?

    Thanks a lot Cap’n. And I may yet re-record the vocals without the reverb. I do have a weakness there…. Same thing with the Doom of Clowns song, actually — been meaning to go back and give those vocals another clean shot.

    i’m not a cat fan, owing to two bad experiences, but if i were pro-feline, this would be my theme song. very nice.
