Okay, the super awesome mix I was working on? The theme was songs about cats. I could only think of five songs that were actually about cats (or tigers) and then I just gave up because I couldn't think of any more. There were, however, a couple of "bonus" songs I was going to use as well. Here's the track list:
Hayden - Woody
The Weakerthans - A Cat Named Virtue
Smashing Pumpkins - Lily
The Cure - Love Cats
Neko Case - The Tigers Have Spoken
Josie and the Pussycats - 3 small words
Tom Jones - What's New Pussycat?
So, here's the question: Can anyone think of another song that would be a good addition to this list? I will eventually give this mix to someone, but I usually like to have at least ten songs on it.
While we're on the topic of mixes, I've recieved two in the past couple of months and I've come to a conclusion: most people make mixes based around similar sounding songs, while I go for themes. I think it's because I'm lazy. I don't usually spend too much time on them. I just think of something interesting and go from there. Usually I get three songs into it and then hit a block. But I'm not giving up hope just yet. I've made some great ones in the past and I'll do so again. So don't call me Moby just yet.

you gotta go for both theme and what sounds good. it's tough, no doubt. how about: le tigre? eye of the tiger? crazy little thing called love by the stray cats??
just some ideas. . .
ooh ooh, I just thought of another one: maneater by Hall and Oates. i guess they refer to a cat per se, but have you ever seen the video?
