Sometimes songs remind of something that happened to someone else entirely. This is one of those songs. My buddy Mitch's sister owned a bar in Seattle (or maybe she just worked there. Refer to my original disclaimer on foggy memories!). He told me that he was there one time and this song came on the radio (or possibly on the jukebox. I don't know. I wasn't there). If you know the lyrics to the song, there are a couple lines that aren't for the delicate listener. In fact, they are downright aggressive towards the Kitty, but then again, the Kitty kind of had it coming to her! Mitch said it was very funny how inappropriate the lyrics were, especially in a public place with a mixed audience.
Mitch's family always seemed to be doing something really fun. They are always off in Hawaii or taking boat trips down English channels or celebrating Mardi Gras in Mobile. In fact, Mitch missed his buddy's wedding party because of a family emergency (Mardi Gras). He later clarified that he said it was a family "urgency" (still Mardi Gras). He urgently needed to go drink a hurricane or something. Mitch's family has the BEST "urgencies".
Kitty is a really silly song. That might be another reason why it reminds of Mitch. We did a lot of silly stuff which was so important in those years right after college, when life suddenly became serious and grown-up. Meow Meow Meow-Meow Meow-Meow!
