about

I could write an essay on this song. I've been made to think and rethink about it millions of times. I've had people grab me and scream in my face mid-show because I said it wasn't in the set list, I've seen a video of people making fun of the song that was 5 times as long as the song itself, it's been used in ways that hurt me and misinterpreted to hell and back.

The song is about all of my friends and feeling like they had my back. It's about being on the beach with my little sister and pretending bugs were the source of magic. It's the product of the goofy songs I'd sing to my cat Noel. It's about the inner conflict over the necessity of defensive violence. I know it seems silly to have so much loaded into a song with "you're so bad I hope you die" in the words, but that's just how my brain worked back then. Fun and colorful was always the best way to express anything severe.

it's definitely not endorsing violence.

This was, of course, the "second evil cat" in the series of cat people villains started with Meow Flute. There was another song, "Please Don't Kill The Gerbil" that was the third. There was supposed to be four, but I'm not sure if I ever wrote one.

lyrics

You're a bad cat man, you're a bad cat man yes you are!
You're so bad I hope you die
You are so bad, you are so bad, you are so bad
I hate you so much I hope you die
You're a bad cat man, how did you get out of your cage?
You're a bad cat man, I will punch you in the face

We have rules that I hope you follow (if you don't I'll cut you up)
I have friends that have fur and fangs yeah (they'll bite off your ugly head)

Now this battle is a storm, absorbing flames of butterflies
I make your flesh warm
Birds will sing the dirge now of absolute defeat
The second evil cat has fallen, dogs consume your meat
