the song:
You could say this song is a true story about a dead cat. You could say it’s
about human existence in a meaningless universe. You could say it places a
chip on Pascal’s Wager. You could say it’s also provocative, dark, funny and
sentimental, all in one strange mix, until the odd title falls into place in
the last line with perfect sense. A little gospel, a little blues, a little
showtune and altogether a jaunty, offbeat song. Gender
point of
view:
Irrelevant.
