The sad kitty was a sittin' on a block of stone
way over in the corner weepin' all alone.
The warden said, "Hey, buddy, don't you be no square.
If you can't find a partner use a wooden chair."

When I was just a Kitten my mama told me, Son,
Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns.
But I shot a dog in Reno just to watch him die
When I hear that whistle blowing, I hang my head and cry.

Breakin' rocks in the hot sun
I fought the claw and the claw won
I needed Noms 'cause I had none

Then you hear somebody say
That's the sound of the cats,
Working on the chain ga-ang
That's the sound of the cats,
Working on the chain gang
That's the sound of the cats,
Working on the chain ga-ang

So, can you name all these songs and the artists who first made them hits?
There could be a prize for the first completely right answer.
This little quiz isn't very hard though, so it probably won't be a very thrilling prize, MOL.
P.S. Yes, that *was* Will Gardner in The Good Wife (or the actor who plays him anyway)! The Human is mad now that she needs to wait for Season 5 to come out on DVD.

Oh boy.. I can sing most of those in my head, I thnk.. but I have never ever been able to put names to songs much less artists! MOL I'm sure I could look them up... but I think I will leave the field to those who actually know and go hang my head in shame somewhere. Spitty behind bars! What did you do??? Can we send you a can of tuna with a saw blade in it?
Star says: Thank you for defending me the other day when my miserable mom called me by the wrong name.. I still have not forgiven her! In fact, you should see the claw marks all along the back of her hand, heh heh. Whatever you did to get in the big house, Spitty, know that I will wait for you! (meaning I'll still be your cuddle buddy when you are free, not that I won't take visits from other handsome mancats, because what's good for the Lotherio is good for me! hee hee!) Smooches! Purrrrrrr
Me too, I can sing them but only know two of them. I will probably wake up in the middle of the night with the other two!
Jailhouse Rock—Elvis Presley
Folsom Prison blues—Johnny Cash
I Fought the Law—Bobby Fuller Four (The Clash did a cool version)
Working on the Chain Gang—Sam Cooke (Pop swears Lee Dorsey did a verion)
I’m gonna be working on the blue pillow tonight, Spitman. xoxo
Darn it! Cathy Keisha is correct - she types faster than me!
There's a Spitty we know
who sang sad tails of woe
when he's lost the Brown Binky to Heaven
(sorry, Jimmy Page)
Oh Spitty!
The woes of being caged (even if in your imagination!) Mes LOVES your Mommy's song!
Me has to tells yous, me called Jo-Jo Ellie forthis poem as jo-jo don't rhyme with Nellie!
Kisses
Nellie
PS. mes shall sneaks over with file and wes can gets yous out toute suite! (After wes has some snuggling first)
Kisses
Nellie
Knew jailhouse rock, I fought the law and chain gang
Poor, poor Spitty. So much to sing the blues about - uh huh!
We knew #3! Katnip Lounge cracks us up. :D
Spitty, you is a true blue artiste! We would listen to you sing efurryday, MOL
Sasha, Sami, & Saku
They would have to be Pantera, Metallica and Sex Pistols songs for my human to be able to guess them!
Looks like Cathy Keisha beat us!
No way could our Mommy ever name all those. She's on probation, as we type, for being tardy and lazy.
Have a happy Mancat Monday, Spitster.
XOXO
You could wait until pigs fly for us to come up with anything on those! We just suck at music stuff! :)
We got them all but too slow. We loved this interlude from Sing-SIng Jailio, especially the Clash a la Spitty.
Looks like Keisha got it!
MOL! Spitty you're hilarious!
Uh, when Mommy saw "hang my head an cry" all she could think of was "hang down your head, Tom Dooley...."
As usual my mum helps me too late. I knew all of them but only knew of the Clash version of I fought the Law. Are you still banged up behind bars? Do you want me to send a nip cake with a file in it?
Keisha done well. It is raining again today so we are doing the blues. Have a marvellous Monday.
Best wishes Molly
I'm not good at lyrics...so absolutely no idea!!
I've not watched Good Wife but I heard it's a pretty good show.
Yuppers, CK got them all! Dang it gf, I was going to do it. I was all proud and stuffs! But that's OK. I can make loud puffs of air from my nosicles! YOU can't. So there.
xxooxoxox
Oh Cathy Keisha solved it in zilch. Great! I came too late, why we live on the wrong side of the big pond? But the songs are great when you include cats :o)
good luck to all who enter!
oh, snap. bet us to it, Cathy!
BEAT us, that is.
CK was right on the mark (as usual!)......I know that Sonny Curtis of the Crickets WROTE "I Fought the Law" but it really was the Bobby Fuller Four who made it popular. Gosh - my Mom says this made her feel older than dirt. HAHAHAHA
Hugs, Sammy
wells, those are some sad song, Spitty. I am singing them blues all the live long day too, so let me add to your miseries, wif that other Clash song you forgot: "Humans On My Back" ("I been running, Humans on my back, I been hiding, Humans on my back, There was a biting, Humans on my back, and that Doggie, well, he won't come back...."). Stay strong, Spits. Maybe we'll send you a cake wif a file in it so you can sharpen your claws and show the warden who's boss.
Cathy Keisha rocks the music trivia!!!
; )
Glogirly needs to NOT sing. She was trying to sing your blog to the tune of "sitting on the dock of the bay...'
~Katie
We only knew Folsom Prison Blues and I Fought the Law. Way to go Cathy Keisha! We enjoyed your singing though, Spitty!
No body will beat CK in musical trivia! Good one Spitty!!
our human love the good wife. wanna bolt outta there buddy? just make your one call to us.
emma and buster
We see that C. K. already guessed all the songs, and Mom says it looks correct to her. We think that just because you are in "prison" there is no reason you shouldn't have your pink beddie. MOL! We know you aren't really in jail! PURRS AND PAW-PATS, LILY OLIVIA, MAURICIO, MISTY MAY, GIULIETTA, FIONA, ASTRID, LISBETH AND CALISTA JO
