Another of the Dizzyland Tapes. We recorded 3 songs at our friend Hank Decken’s studio in New Hampshire. So that we had something for club owners, and could send it out to gauge interest in possibly securing a recording contract.<\/p>\n
They’re rough 16-track analog demos. We recorded quickly, and with very little overdubbing.\u00a0 This one is the typical “chase chicks” song.<\/p>\n
Remember… we were playing on stage with bands like Extreme, and Killer Dwarfs, and Little Caesar.\u00a0 Grunge hadn’t happened. It was all T&A Rock back then. This was typical of what was working in the bars at the time.<\/p>\n
Listen up my friend…I got a tale to tell<\/em> Oh no…<\/em><\/p>\n The game’s got not rules. You gotta live to learn<\/em> Unless…<\/em><\/p>\n Ya take a shot o’ whiskey…an’ give the girl some time<\/em> Cat & Mouse<\/em> Round two!<\/em><\/p>\n Your head, starts to spin. Your feet come off the ground<\/em> So, take a shot o’ whiskey…an’ give the girl some time<\/em> Cat & Mouse<\/em> (solo)<\/em><\/p>\n Cat & Mouse<\/em> Meow!<\/em><\/p>\n\n
\n An’ when the story ends, you’ll know the game real well<\/em>
\n Don’t need no dice. No gamblin’ house<\/em>
\n Just need a lady-nice<\/em>
\n To play “cat an’ mouse.”<\/em><\/p>\n
\n Just play it cool, and ya won’t get burned<\/em>
\n Give the girl some slack, an’ you’ll score the win<\/em>
\n Maybe, she’ll come back<\/em>
\n Maybe, let you in<\/em>
\n But if you squeeze too tight, she gonna shut the door<\/em>
\n Home alone tonight<\/em>
\n Tomorrow, back for more<\/em>
\n It’s always the same. No matter what you do<\/em>
\nChick knows the game. She’ll get the best of you.<\/em><\/p>\n
\n Cos’ when she’s feelin’ frisky…you know you’re feelin’ fine!<\/em><\/p>\n
\n When the cat’s away the mice will play<\/em>
\n Cat & Mouse<\/em>
\n Just play it cool. Or, she’ll trap you in a<\/em>
\n Cat & Mouse<\/em>
\n Well it’s a game o’ sin…we play to win<\/em>
\n It’s called<\/em>
\n Cat & Mouse<\/em>
\n Just play it cool…the trap is set, for you<\/em><\/p>\n
\n This one night o’ sin, makes the world go ’round<\/em>
\n She brings ya in the house, drags ya to the floor<\/em>
\n A game o’ Cat & Mouse, leaves ya beggin’ for more.<\/em>
\n She’ll build ya’ up, but she’ll strip you down.<\/em>
\n Then, she’ll strut her stuff, around an’ around<\/em>
\n It’s always the same. When you’re sixty nine.<\/em>
\n To play is a game. But, to win, is a crime!<\/em><\/p>\n
\n Cos’ when she’s feelin’ frisky…you know you’re feelin’ fine-yeah!<\/em><\/p>\n
\n When the cat’s away the mice will play<\/em>
\n Cat & Mouse<\/em>
\n Just play it cool. Or, she’ll trap you in a<\/em>
\n Cat & Mouse<\/em>
\n Well it’s a game o’ sin…we play to win<\/em>
\n It’s called<\/em>
\n Cat & Mouse<\/em>
\n Just play it cool…the trap is set, for you<\/em>
\n
\nHere, kitty kitty…
\nI got some cat-nip for you…
\nOh yes…
\n…’cha let me stroke your tail one time!<\/em><\/p>\n
\n When the cat’s away the mice will play<\/em>
\n Cat & Mouse<\/em>
\n Just play it cool. Or, she’ll trap you in a<\/em>
\n Cat & Mouse<\/em>
\nOh! Oh! It’s a game o’ sin…we play to win<\/em>
