Cat
Bob Seger · Noah [1969]
But daddy, I said don't do that, alright
Little cat, all alone, somewhere in the midwest
Where'd you go, who'll you be,
Maybe you'll turn out to be the best
Who knows, who knows, come on, yeah yeah
Cat cat cat cat
Every day, new day, every way, wrong way
Who'd have seen, who'd have thought
Nothing but, your tomorrow
Where and when
It doesn't matter
As long as we do it again
Cat cat cat cat cat cat cat
Hello, who are you
You know something, I'm someone too
I want to be with you, if it's all right
Gonna take you with me, make you feel all right
Yes I have a little place, please don't feel any disgrace
I wouldn't hurt you, you know that
Cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat
Yes you're quite alone, how do you feel
I'm so glad, look in the bed
Take it easy, everything will be just fine
You don't seem to be afraid
That's wonderful
No I have no hangups
I have no hangups
How about you
You like to do it
Nothing wrong with that
What do you mean you hate your mother
Oh well come on little more a litlle more
Can I, please
Be my cat...
Cat cat oh oh ahhh
Cat - Bob Seger
Bob Seger's 1969 single "Cat" stands as a quintessential example of his early rock and roll revival style, blending raw energy with a distinct mid-tempo groove. Released on the album Noah, the track showcases Seger's signature ability to craft anthems that resonate with themes of heartbreak and resilience. The recording captures the gritty, authentic sound of the late 1960s, featuring a driving rhythm section and Seger's powerful, raspy vocals that became hallmarks of his career. As a staple of his discography, the song reflects the era's shift toward more mature, narrative-driven rock while maintaining the rebellious spirit that defined Seger's public image. It remains a significant song in his catalog, illustrating his transition from a pure rock and roll performer to a respected figure in American rock history.
