    Thanks, Val :blue thumb:

    The original version of that tune (commonly known as Alley Cat) won a Grammy and has been performed and sung by many artists (Peggy Lee did a good version).

    It has also been used in at least five films. So it has a good pedigree. :heehee:

    Of course, there are the famous cat songs. (Just to drive longk mad :cat-kittyandsmiley: :whistle: :heehee:)





    The original of this one was written 1893 but has been changed lots of times




    And, of course, Thomas O'Malley

      It is such a diverse genre.
      Electronica light.................


      I haved loved this from when I first heard it as a kid.............


      After Ian Curtis died Joy Division morphed into New Order. This is their finest in my opinion..........


      It positively hummed along back in my (slightly drug and massively alcohol fueled) clubbing days!
      Back to the Sherwood song and its like this is where I go when I'm in the mood for ballads................

            A tune from one of my favourite bands. Wonderful sentiment....something that @wiseowl would probably appreciate :)

              Thanks for posting @Freddy - never heard of them in my life, but I am impressed. I can see some YouTube exploration taking place to see which of their albums to buy.........
