Famous Cat Songs

An entry for cat lovers only!

Cats have been a source of inspiration for many a writer in different languages. From Baudelaire to Borges, from T.S. Eliot to Lessing, they have all shared an immense passion for our feline friends. 

Here are some of the songs I have come across and that I like to listen to. Feel free to share those of your own.

 The jazzy tune from the Disney film Aristocats. Composed and sung by the Scatman Crothers.

Everybody Wants To Be A Cat - Julien Neel Homme Quatuor A Cappella - Disney song cover

Aristocats Ev'rybody Wants To Be A Cat

Everybody wants to be a cat,
because a cat's the only cat
who knows where it's at.
Everybody's pickin' up on that feline beat,
'cause everything else is obsolete.
Now a square with a horn,
can make you wish you weren't born,
ever'time he plays;
and with a square in the act,
he can set music back
to the caveman days.
I've heard some corny birds who tried to sing,
but a cat's the only cat
who knows how to swing.
Who wants to dig
a long-haired gig
or stuff like that?
When everybody wants to be a cat.
A square with that horn,
makes you wish you weren't born,
ever'time he plays;
and with a square in the act,
he's gonna set this music back
to the Stone Age days.
Everybody wants to be a cat,
because a cat's the only cat
who knows where it's at;
while playin' jazz you always has a Welcome mat,
'cause everybody digs a swingin' cat.
Everybody digs a swingin' cat.
