Kitty

The Presidents of the United States of America

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 wanna touch it
I wanna touch it, I wanna touch it
I wanna touch it, wanna touch it
I wanna touch it, yeah, 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

    puddleoffluf i think thats a little dramatic, maybe, but these guys made a song about PEACHES. but they rock anyway. and about the song i think the song is about Chris Ballew's obsession with cats.

    i dont think so puddle, most - all presidents songs r about random stuff and dont have metaphoric meanings in them.

    How about it's a song about a cat but its also a song where he, just like everyone else here, cant help but think of sexual innuendo when they hear the word kitty or pussy. So he sings it all eyebrow-raising sexy-like in a cheeky way.

    I'm sure that they sexual innuendo was at least SOMEWHAT intentional - I mean the sexual, seductive sound of the song is part of what makes it fun and sounding good.

    But I betcha its literally about a cat haha. These guys are just wacky. they seem to care more about making fun music and putting on a fun show then putting out a "message"

    i think its about a chick who wont leave this guy (kitty has a metaphor in here, its not a cat its the girl because of her... yea...) and he wants to get with her but she just keeps saying no to it and then she wants to and hes fed up with it so he says no to her about it!

    in my opinion the lyric is "lost in his little yellow round diet". as in a bird, like tweetybird.

    I did like this song to some degree...and now I can only think of it as Anna Nicole Smith's losing-her-fatass song.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
