The King Of The Cats
So Ashes of Honor by author, filker, and podcaster (and winner of a Hugo Award!) Seanan McGuire just came out.
And I had to have it Right Away. And it has Tybalt in it. I've always had this not-so-sneaking fondness for Tybalt, what can I say?

The King of the Cats lyrics and melody by Cat Faber 2012 a capella mp3 here Dm Gm* Dm The King of the Cats has many abodes Dm Gm C A Scattered along the Shadow Roads, Dm C Dm A The entrance shows and then it scats, Dm F A Dm It answers to the King of the Cats. The King of the Cats is mighty free Keeping the strangest company. They're all decked out in spikes and tats; They answer to the King of the Cats. The King of the Cats the shadow veils And even my own cats carry tales. They aren't much as diplomats; They answer to the King of the Cats. The King of the Cats with Trouble sports His people comprise the Shadow Courts Like ninja pirate acrobats They answer to the King of the Cats. The King of the Cats won't go away Fool that I am to feed a stray He smiles at me; my heart pitter-pats It answers to the King of the Cats. * this Gm is only one beat; if you can't get on and off it that fast, stick with the Dm.For those who are interested, there are four songs inspired by Seanan's work (Oak and Ash, Art Feeds Life, Mayday and One Salt Sea) all dressed up and stepping out on my new CD "The King's Lute" available at Bandcamp.
Cool! Fun song =)
Thanks!
And I'm very pleased that you like the song; I had fun dancing around and recording it. There's a clunk in one part I had to go in afterwards and set the volume way down on, because I was waving my hands too enthusiastically and I hit the music stand.
I have an affinity for cats (tough guess, huh?)
Though in my opinion "with the subtlety of a blunderbuss / All YouR SoNgZ R BeLong 2 US!" is still a strong contender for personal best.
Wanna hear this one.

Lovely! =:o>
You'll be wanting our Tim Walker on trumpet solo, I think... =;o}
And remember, if you mention the CD and link to my bandcamp page on your social media of choice, (and send me a link in case I miss it) I will send you a code for a bonus 21st song at Bandcamp.
