I don’t think I’ve heard much of this band, but I see what you’re saying. The word “katzenlied” is very odd.
Maybe “cats’ song,” as in “the song of cat.” I’m not sure I’ve heard a song about cats.
Frank there are so many songs about cats that there’s even a musical about them!
I don’t know that one, but I remember seeing it years ago in the library at my high school.
Oh cool! Did you get to see a tour that stopped in your town? You must have had a big library to see such a big show!
Yeah, I did, I got to go a couple of times. I remember watching the “A Night In The Lonesome December” performance (and having a poster for it taped up on my wall), and thinking it was great, because it was about as creepy as possible. I think I remember the whole cast being creepy?
Also, the “Hocus Pocus” performance where they used one of those “skeleton puppets?” Like, you could tell he was a skeleton, but his hands just moved around.
It’s not bad that I ended up like this (obsession with strange and creepy musical theater) but I feel like a lot of what I do in my life could have been predicted by the fact that I like Weird Shit and Weirdly Written Literature when I’m alone. I would not have been this way, I think, if I’d only ever read, like, normal novels.
That’s really interesting, Frank! I’m assuming you saw a non-replica production, because I’ve never heard of a production like that - it seems great, and I wish I’d been there.
I’ve never seen Hocus Pocus, sorry!
Honestly I can relate to that last paragraph
