Subject: RE: Origins: I'm Going To Drown My Cat
I'm proud to be able to reveal that the writer of "I'm going to Drown my Cat" was my old mate Jem Patterson, a fellow member of The Somerville Gentlemen's Band. He wrote it around 1975, and added to his output with an equally funny version of "Viva Espana". After a gap of twenty seven years three of us are performing together again, and I'm hoping to persuade him to perform this little gem once more in public. If anyone wants the words, contact me via the Steamchicken website and I'll pass them on.
