R. Crumb & his Cheap Suit Serenaders - My Girl's Pussy

[shrapnullify]

oh that R. Crumb

[Nosensefornonsense]

im surprised this song doesnt have over a million hits

[markstarr1]

Of course the double entendre was understood , think of all the saucy postcards being purchased at the same time which relied on double entendre

[davisneves]

this song had to be made

[adultdating100]

5 Stars short Movie

[blackpoolbarmpot]

Written by band leader Harry Roy and recorded by Harry Roy & his Bat Club Boys in the 1930's. It probably only had one meaning in those days - his Girlfriends CAT.

[motherthirteen]

@blackpoolbarmpot trust me it probaly meant pussy. my great grandfather used to play this song in bars and they were aware of double entendres

[MVillani1985]

@blackpoolbarmpot Double entendres and dirty jokes are older than dirt. Even in Shakespeare's plays it was pretty common, and further back than that.

[swallin19]

@blackpoolbarmpot

The meaning was always mean to be the plainly and painfully obvious, it was meant as a fun record from a band who had specialised in such ditties, Harry Roy, his version was promptly banned by the BBC. records where often issued as Adult content in those days, the fun would go above the head of the children! Such records reached their height of popularity in the 1940's in the US, but had peaked in the early 1930's in the UK, with dance bands.

[BigAndTall666]

Everybody likes pussy! :-D

[Medafets]

Laid :)

[sidDkid87]

REOW?

[shoeshiner100]

whats so funny? this guy's loves his girlfriend's cat.

GET YOUR MIND OUT OF THE GUTTER :)

[eeeeleos]

too late....

[ruldomo]

I heard this for the this for the first time today in the airport. It cracked me up so badly that the ticket agent nearby asked me what I was listening to. I didn't tell her. I love these guys!

[beezybeast101]

anyone who thinks this is abouts cats is trippin on some serious shit!!

[DarkSunGod]

I never would have guessed this was actually a cover.

[GIANNISBOT]

i love it!!! it's for you babe!!!

[dadoctah]

At 2:41, that caption should read "Oy, oy, oy!" instead of "Oh, yeah, yeah!"

Now if we could just figure out the first part of the line at 2:12.

[samjhatfield]

@dadoctah A year late, but the first bit is "is she that way" it's a line from the 20's song loveable and sweet.

[zaboomafoo01]

hehe.... awesome!

[Darkbirdy]

It sounds like that because it is a remake (and a fairly close one) of a 1931 song.

[alshouse]

Forget the bawdy lyrics for a second, the musicianship on this is amazing :)

[TAKENnameARGH]

Where do they talk like that in the US... like doity for dirty etc?

[evanthebarbarian]

It's kind of an old-timey gangster accent. So, Chicago, mid-30s or so? Less a matter of * *where* as it is *when*

[ChristainPatriot01]

Nah,maybe New Zealand or Australia,but not the us.

[stevenkoehler]

One of the accents is American Yiddish. The other accent is a very blue-collar bastardization of Irish and German accents. Rarely heard much anymore. Mostly places like Chicago,Cleveland, parts of New York.

[TAKENnameARGH]

yea, from yiddish prolly. Dun remember what movie, but a jewish dude spoke similarly in one.

[rpatrick100]

New York City...The Bronx or Brooklyn I believe.

[GeorgeStraitJunkiee]

it's a new england accent, not a 'us' accent.

[GeorgeStraitJunkiee]

an extent of the 'new yorker'.

[cojwat]

So lovely !

[pastramiitalianappl2]

Look up Der Fuehrer's Face

[Bogframe]

I wish I could find the RC Cola song.

[InklingStudio]

Look for "Get a Load of This" (that's the title) .

""Bring a load-a, RC Cola, TV dinner, plate-a twinkies, takes a pink burrito, for to keep me clean" "

[Gefilta]

it's out on a CD included in a collection of R Crumb drawings

[Bietel]

@Gefilta

A great book with a cool CD... or vice versa... definitely worth checking out, and get A Load Of This is one of the songs that will stay in your head for DAYS...!

Like this one, I should say. Meaow!

[KawhackitaRag]

GENIUS!

[thefabb]

Yeah, Crumb changed my life's direction for real and not because he inspired me, but because we actually had several encounters, and he literally prophesied I would be doing something else when I was a happy Cartoonist at the top of my career or so I thought, he was right and I had to change, fast

[SourceGreatriver]

im called crumb

[toiletbrush2]

does any1 actually think this is about a cat lolz...

some of the lyrics kinda make it seem like its bout a cat but sometimes he says it like rly dirty.

[mikelbt]

@toiletbrush2 Hey I never thought of that. You might be right.

[toiletbrush2]

@mikelbt

nah i don't think so lol

every evening him and his cat get wet.

theres a chance lol but it's probably not about a cat.

[AlbertMondback]

A true classic.

[yesmrchalkley]

The picture is done by andy warhol

[1969SL]

Well,Crumb and his guys always covered obscure 1920s and 1930s tunes so this fits perfectly with their usual stuff... I always like them... who doesnt?

[ThreePuttinDude]

Ya' gotta love ol' Mr. Natch

[Robkat3751]

sounds like Bob Brozman in there playing some metal bodied guitar.

[H1r3m2plz]

Yep, that's him - they get together every year at the Freight and Salvage in Berkeley.

[hotrodius]

Brozman is incredible on any guitar

[GratedTopping]

Fantastic; I had a rotten version of it before, but this is complete.

[pforvendetta]

how bawdy!

[ChickenboneJohn]

Absolutely outrageous!!!! Sort of "single entendre" really, in the same line as Bo Carter's "Banana in Your Fruitbasket"...but without the subtlety!

[sharonclyon]

Mr. Natural, what does it all mean? Don't mean shit.

[twhootis]

...let's ask the checkered demon!

[genyouwin]

If you doesn't make you laugh, check your wrist for a pulse.

I've known this song for eyars - but didn't know it was by Robert Crumb. A comic genius.

[OmonRa71]

This is a traditional song, not Crumb's. The song has been covered by many famous artists like Bono, Bob Dylan and Madonna

[genyouwin]

Really? I'll look it up. Thanks. :-)

[OmonRa71]

Really, but the Bono, Bob Dylan and Madonna part of it was a joke.

[foreverywitchburned]

theres one pet i like to petand every evening we get set i stroke it every chance i gt its my girls pussy! hahahahaha fuckin awsome.

[StavrosIII]

This is just as subversive as his cartoons - brilliant.

[TBonePickensetc]

This is funny

[RobeGre]

What a lovely song. It should gladden the hearts of cat lovers the world over.

[BASTEH99]

@RobeGre its not about a cat, sorry to warp your fragile mind :P

[phjost]

@BASTEH99

Yes it is, that's the joke. For a '20s-song it would be too obvious if "pussy" meant something else.

[landoncrosby]

One of his Greatest songs, yet I enjoy all of his music very much!!!

[Jackenator1]

An absolute CLASSIC!
