Josie And The Pussycats
Juliana Hatfield · Other Songs - Juliana Hatfield
Long tails, and ears for hats
Guitars an' sharps 'n' flats
Neat, sweet, a groovy song
You're invited, come along
Hurry, hurry
See ya all in Pesia
Or maybe France
We could be India
Or Perchance
Be with us in Bangkok
Makes no difference
We're involved with this or that
Everywhere the action's at
Come along now,
Jossie and the pussycats
No time for purrs and pats
(Get ready !)
Won't run when they hear "SKAT!"
(Here we come !)
Josie and the pussycats
(Look out, yo...ooooo)
Hurry, hurry
See ya all in Pesia
Or maybe France
We could be India
Or Perchance
Be with us in Bangkok
Makes no difference
We're involved with this or that
Everywhere the action's at
Come along now,
Jossie and the pussycats
No time for purrs and pats
Won't run when they hear "skat!"
There where the plot begins
Come on watch the good guys win.
Josie and the pussycats
Josie and the pussycats
Yeah, Josie and the pussycats
(Here we come, ya'll)

Josie And The Pussycats
Juliana Hatfield's 'Josie And The Pussycats' stands as a defining track from her early career, capturing the raw energy and punk sensibility that would characterize her work with Total System Failure. Released during a pivotal era for alternative rock, the song reflects Hatfield's signature blend of melodic pop structures with gritty, distorted guitars and a driving rhythm section. As a solo project, it showcases her ability to craft anthemic hooks that resonate deeply, establishing her reputation as a formidable force in the indie scene. The recording embodies the DIY ethos of the mid-1990s, prioritizing emotional authenticity over polished production. This track remains a testament to her enduring influence on the genre, serving as a bridge between her punk roots and her later, more experimental explorations. It is a powerful example of how a single recording can encapsulate an artist's evolving identity and impact on the broader musical landscape.
