"Cat in the Window (The Bird in the Sky)" - Petula Clark

a lovely bittersweet song about Petula Clark, about a cat who, like the narrator, wishes he could fly. Who hasn't been there? I don't know much about Ms. Clark, but I adore this song and a few others by her.

@Babyhowdy233 You're quite welcome. I'm not normally keen on uploading other people's songs (I have only one other on my channel, and it's not likely anything you'd be interested in XD) but I couldn't find this anywhere on Youtube, so I put it up.

Apologies to any Germans who may have wanted to view this. Apparently your country's blocked it. Sorry. :/

I was 11 years old when this song was around in 1967. I'm now living in England but I have the 45 somewhere in California, haven't heard it in aorund 40 years; I've thought of it's lovey tune and lyrics through the years.Such a beautiful song but not one of Pet Clark's better known songs.

Thanks so much for posting this, so many memories of my childhood....

This being a Warner Bros. release in North America one would think this is about Sylvester & Tweety.

Good one,Paul.What i loved about Pet Clark,when i was growing up in the 60s was her diction!! You could understand every word she sang.The only funny bit was rhyme ..demanding....in I couldnt live without your love.On Youtube, you can see a vid of Pet in 1949,wow, that is great to see.jk

@SuperJohnnykay Credit to the Turtles for writing the song, which is also on YouTube, but Pet took it to another level. I will check out the foreign language stuff. Thx.

@paulg999 :Great stuff,Paul. Have you listened to her doing the stuff in French, German, Italian,Spanish or Portugues? Start with Inveco NO(San Remo festival 1966)...Its a beaut. jk

@SuperJohnnykay thx for that info. Always loved this song but assumed it was a song written for Pet.

Thanks for posting this. When I was a little girl I used to listen to this over and over and over.

a Flo and Eddie song-also known as the Turtles. It was an album track for them and quite cute,but Pet clark took hold of it and justdelivered the hell out of it.A hit on Australian radio at the time. So good to hear this again,john from sydney
