The Presidents of the United States of America – Kitty (Official Music Video)

Formed in Seattle in the 1990s, The Presidents of the United States of America are an American rock band that drew attention during the height of grunge with their humor-filled, distinctive style.

This song is based on a real incident experienced by vocalist Chris Ballew in Boston involving a “bad little cat,” comically portraying a man who spends a night outside with a cat and gets scratched when he tries to pet it.

The unconventional shift from 4/4 to 15/16 time creates a unique sense of tension, while the unusual instrumentation of a two-string bass and a three-string guitar delivers a simple yet distinctive sound.

Released as a single in 1995, it reached No.

13 on Billboard’s Modern Rock Tracks chart.

Lightly singing about a small moment from everyday life, this track is perfect for anyone who wants to enjoy rock without taking things too seriously.
