Tommy The Cat Lyrics
Actually, my dad had pretty good take on this song. Its about an old man past his prime recalling the days of his peak virility. He recalls how good of a predator he was, and about how he didn't have to go looking for women, they come to him. My father says the double entendre of the song was very popular during the early jazz boom. Great way to talk about boinking without either being crude, or blatantly obvious about it.
That is, of course, the king of American songwriting himself, Tom Waits doing the voice of Tommy the Cat. This song is awesome. It means nothing at all.
This song is fairly difficult to pull off on a four-string bass. It's a lot easier to play on a six-string... However, on the "Suck on This" version of the song, Les didn't own a six-string. Must've been pretty easy for him... fucker.
PRIMUS SUCKS!!!
Everytime our bass player became cocky, we'd put on this song in the rehearsals. Shut him right up :D
this song, is, AMAAAZING
This song is just weird!

I think this song does mean something. I think its a take on The Arisocats becasue the main cat in the movie was Tom o'Malley. And i beleave there was an O'malleys alley.
Also,Nick Cave uses O'Malleys references a lot on his album "murder Ballads".This song is awesome,it reminds me of "jesus built my hotrod" by ministry,saying as both these tracks have alternate vocalists.They both rock too!
everytime i hear this song i cant help but laugh, its so awesome, and funny

That line sounds like it's being squeezed out of a mustard bottle. It's so gloriously ridiculous.
