Pepe Deluxe
Pussy Cat Rock
Well, how serious did you think it was going to be?
That’s what I had to tell myself when the largely superficial lyrics and camp rock n roll combined to create the meows and wails of ‘Pussy Cat Rock’.
If Frankenfurter had pulled a kitten from the waters of his lab, then this would have been the theme-song for the Rocky Horror Picture Show!
‘Ms Wilhelmina and Her Hat’ isn’t just the kind of title you’d find on one of those rare Beatles compilations, as it has the sitar-based drug-induced wonder of George Harrison’s ‘Blue Jay Way’.
A difficult record to reconcile, but an entertaining listen nonetheless.
Watch Pepe Deluxe – ‘Pussy Cat Rock’.
