My blogchum Bill recorded this little gem under the heading “Outsider” and “Art.”
Like, WAY “outsider” “art”
I particularly like the meowing part.

Good job, Bill! Well done! You’ve inspired me to do something regrettable and embarassing with music, too! Maybe we could encourage everyone to perform “Night and Day” with sundry animal noises and random sound effects!

I am SO putting this on my iPod when I get home. Oh, hey… that del.icio.us doodad…must do that later, too.
I would prefer to encourage people to broaden their interpretations to any of the songs written by Cole Porter. He’s da bomb!!
And thank you for the kind, kind words!
Actually, I was thinking of exploring the songbook of the great Johnny Mercer. There’s a lot of good stuff to tackle there.
Also, it’s just as good for a meow-along as anything Cole Porter wrote.
I recommend “Early Autumn” or “Midnight Sun”, myself. The Johnny Mercer Song Book is one of my favorite Ella Fitzgerald albums.
Noel Coward is a personal favorite of mine, too.
