maybe "cats" had more of an effect than we'd all care to admit





What was with this 80's trend of 'lecherous cats in pop music videos'?

  1. holy shit that first one is outrageous. first of all, i had no idea what the biggie sample sounded like.
    second of all, the "bad boy"/cat puns are amazing...panhandling for guppies...kitties in playboy...and then the dog is the cock block? too much

  3. That was Howie? I spotted T.D., but didn't know who the other dude was.

    Good eye, Melanie. I guess subconsciously I was aware of the prominence of Bad Cats in the 80s - they just kind of ring of the 80s shit-sentiments -, but never really thought about how wide-spread it was. Now I know!
