Primus - Tommy The Cat Lyrics

When Dimebag became a bassist.

ABC's old Afterschool Specials brought me here.

Say BABY!!

Well, I remember as it were a meal ago

Said Tommy the Cat as he reeled back to clear whatever foreign matter
May have nestled its way into his mighty throat
Many a fat alley rat had met its demise while staring point blank down
The cavernous barrel of this awesome prowling machine
Truly a wonder of nature this urban predator
Tommy the Cat had many a story to tell
But it was a rare occasion such as this that he did

She came slidin' down the alleyway like butter drippin' off a hot biscuit
The aroma, the mean scent, was enough to arouse suspicion in even the
Oldest of tigers that hung around the hot spot in those days
The sight was beyond belief
Many a head snapped for double--even triple--takes as this vivacious
Feline made her her way into the delta of the alleyway where the most
Virile of the young tabbies were known to hang out

They hung in droves
Such a multitude of masculinity could only be found in one place
And that was O'Malley's Alley

The air was thick with cat calls (no pun intended)
But not even a muscle in her neck did twitch as she sauntered up into
The heart of the alleyway
She knew what she wanted
She was lookin' for that stud bull
She was looking for that he cat
And that was me

Tommy the Cat is my name and I say unto thee

Say, baby, do you want to lay down with me?
Say, baby, do you want to lay down by my side?
Ah, baby, do you want to lay down with me?
Say, baby?
Say, baby?

onion/animmmaismydeadgirl62. 😭 so... in 3 days it will be deleted ur welcome. (not the coment)

primus sucks

Out with the new and in witb the odd.

There are 2 main genres of music. Primus, and everything else.

How on Earth didn't I know this band until now??

Les looks like Daniel Day-Lewis in Gangs of New York!

Say baby!

make video speed on 1.25

Is this what it's like to have schizophrenia?

This song just gave me psoriasis

primus sucks

les is pouring all these drinks but there's only like two people in the bar...

I forgot all about this

Did John K worked on the animation for this?

Pure musicianship. Zero songwriting craft.

My uncle:


While my mom slaps me with a spoon

REMINDS ME OF REM & STIMPY

This line doesn't work on guys...unless they're drunk, they'll lay down with anything. A drunk dude screwed a chicken, it became a ghost chicken, ask MA top 10 - 4 ril.

I throw bass back??? Bluegills and Crappies are my game!!! These folks are alright! Ya haters, go put yer heads back in yer pillows... Wait for another day! It may come, mabey not? I'll be laughing at you because you cannot turn over, pick yer head up and see da daylight!!! Go screw yer mother!

How can someone describe what kind of music Primus makes?

They had own music category in Winamp - Primus

i like the part where He sang "adsdioefgbjioerweioohfgiudfghegbwragb8whfewjfwefjqfh9ueqwhwueGgjoiwejallabuh".

I'm gonna tell my kids this was the first Cats movie

The good one

this is one of the most annoying songs to get stuck in your head especially if you sing it aloud and someone who's never heard it or primus asks what it is....lol

Two Princes? Ah... no! It's Tommy the cat. Yeah!!!

i'm so glad i got to see these guys in oakland last year!! les claypool is one of the greatest bassists ever!

ok les ok ok we see that you've got fake arms!

My son - Eddie jnr has bought his first house, over the border in Todmorden. He's calling it HollyigWood. I hope it doesn't mean 'I got'! Anyway, he's got a big barn, so The Frillyboys are playing at his housewarming! Special Guests - Mark Knofler, Sam Fox (nearly spelt Fox wrong, there)! + Cronos from Venom + many others. Anyway, Les C has a Court Case, so can't attend, but as a joke, we have Stephen Tin Tin Duffer and his Why?fe (who do suffer). Will give full details of party, later in February. Up t't Tater's to All our Fans. Eddie Hoare. x.

the cats all look like stimpy

Good ol Tom Waits

Everything is weird in this song. But not as much the lenght of his forearms

I think...he's saying...words...

The air was thick with cat calls (no pun intended)
But not even a muscle in her neck did twitch

She knew what she wanted.
She was lookin' for that stud bull; she was looking for that he cat.
And that was me.
Tommy the Cat is my name and I say unto thee...

I see where korn got it from

Is Clapypool's thumb okay after that?

I thought this guy was a rapoet so i clicked on the thumbnail






now i have stroke

SAY BABAY!

Primus sucks!

SABABAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

This was the song Primus played in *Bill & Teds bogus Journey* in the battle of the band scene!!

Primus sucks

Still here 2020 who else??

hmm lsd trip with friends ?

This song on .75 speed is actually the grooviest thing that's ever been heard

Tommy the Cat and Jerry Was a Racecar Driver are essentially the same song - except for the concept

125% speed sounds like Thrash Metal.

*No pun intended*

les claypool: do you want to mate? sabababdoyouwannalaydownbahmaiside

I wouldn't mind if in Cats the movie, they played this song out of nowhere, but it seems like that's not the case.

Just discovering Primus at 30 years old, and I FREAKING love them! So much talent...

Vocals remind me of a hillbilly version of Rosetta Stoned and that's definitely not a bad thing.

Ted Mosby

My daddy named me Tommy for this song

3:28 when he says hey baby like butthead

this song made me set my hair on fire

And they say white people have no culture

as an a.a.'er, this makes me want a white russian cocktail ....THANK YOU !!!......bob in reno

Help me, i can't stop listening this song(

I like this

Este video es igual a cuando te vas en una buena noche de peda xD

That bass fits the nonsense cartoonish video so well. It's almost hilarious because it's really fucking good lmao.

the intro reminds me of that one mariokart track moonlight hywy

Spitting Bindon. - Amateur Version for Les.

I was lazing at 'ome,

NEEDING SEX!

(My Why?fe was in't hospital)......

Having 'Rex'.

I Wouldn't do Adultery, -

so, it's Sex on't Phone...

As I supped on a cider....

I was Ready To Bone!

The Lay-dee on't phone whispered about Rubber....

And this fills Me Pork (like nothing other)!

And I spied summat good, just by the telly....

The lovely, thick rubber on me Fisherman's Welly!

My naked, Proud foot slid into me Welly......

(I've got Strawberry Jelly In't welly)! -

I moan, "Ooooh, Ahhhhh, Blaaaa!" -

(And 'Me Bindon' spits onto me Belly)! ©SG 1998

(To self) - "Now, Eddie, you really must Not resort to shoving your Substandard Poems into the Melting Pot o Mass 'Idea-Dumb' which Translates as 'Human Life.' - Much better you stay in The Boudoir and do Strange things to your Why?fe!" - Phew! - I Never relish 'telling myself off.' Best Wishes To All. Edward Hoare.

I saw Primus open for Rush once.

This video makes me feel like I'm on acid again.

What I love most is that they are just so different from anything else I have heard, but are not sell outs. They make it for the art and for fun. They weren't trying to conform to everyones expectations. I am glad Les didn't join into Metallica ✌

subtitles pls

Wow, that cats movie really is terrifying!


Haha, in all seriousness, you are a truly amazing band

My cat is called Tommy😼

Tried so many times to like... So many times.... Primus sucks. I get that the're talented, but at some point you have to make a song that people can listen to. Foolish hippie nonsense

Claypool slappin that bass harder than my mom slaps me.

Respect

U ok buddy? 😁

@tachi pirina no

Davie 504 would approve lol

FLEA : HOLD MY SHIT.!!

I love how the Bass, Guitar, and Drums suck at the same time.

Douglas Johnson underrated comment

chaussette1er To clear back whatever foreign matter did something to his mighty throat. Many a fat alley rat met its demise while staring point blank down the something barrel of this awesome prowling machine. Truly a wonder of nature this something predator.

Классный трек, спасибо Кинокиллеру! С наступающим!

Bass so thick my ears need lube

I was skeptical at first but the new Cats movie looks pretty good.

this is a tripp!! XD love it

Eminem told me about these guys.

My grandma didnt like John the fisherman but she actually really liked this one

no pun intended

Dat funky bass.

I’ve only just started listening to this band. I should find Claypool’s vocals really annoying, but I don’t, they’re fucking nutty. Love it.

put this gem in my old Toyota and it became a Bentley

100x better than the cats movie

Cat calling--No Pun Intended

Took me years to get that

Pls explain

What the heck!? The first song i heard of this band...hoping theres more of them and that it´s as good as this...weird...great shit!

How much bass slapping you want in this song?

Primus: yes
