A song about my cat. Deliberately awful. Made in the style of, and dedicated to, Wesley Willis.

Wesley Willis was a genius. He was a diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and wrote music to help keep his inner demons (which he called “Heartbreaker,” “Nervewrecker,” and “Meansucker”) at bay. The music of Wesley Willis was nothing special, in fact it was pretty terrible. He couldn’t sing, played all of his songs on a dodgy old keyboard (using its own inbuilt backing), but his lyrics are unusual, funny and compelling. Classics of his include: ‘The Chicken Cow’ (a mythical beast that would bite your bum), ‘Eazy E’ (dedicated to the NWA legend) and ‘I Whupped Batman’s Ass’.

I strongly urge you to check out his music. There’s loads of it on YouTube, Last.fm and iTunes.
