And did you think I play these drums with my tits? I’ll smack you like the kick drum on all of my hits Cuz there’s guys like you all over the world Who come up and say you’re pretty good for a girl But I don’t play like a girl, I don’t play like a boy I just play like a motherfucker A girl walks into bar and she starts settin up her stuff And then a guy comes over and says, “Do you need any help” And she says, “Sure, yeah, could you maybe get me a beer?” And he laughs and says, “No honey, I meant with your gear” The sound guy starts turning all the knobs on her amp Tellin her how to use a mic so there’s no feedback The promoter says “Great you’re the girlfriend, are you doing the merch? And can you work the door tonight while you sell their t-shirts?” And the other band comes up after the show and says, “We weren’t gonna stay for your whole set, we were planning to go But hey we like your style, you sure rock those pearls You’re actually pretty good, you play pretty good for a girl” But I don’t play like a girl, I don’t play like a boy I just play like a motherfucker You can rock out with your cock out You can jam out with your clam out You can punk out with your junk out You can screech out with your peach out But I don’t play like a girl, I don’t play like a boy I just play like a motherfucker

Oh yeah, nice dudes But if you look hard enough then you might find That they were an asshole to someone sometime Oh yeah, it’s true Everybody’s somebody’s asshole No matter how nice you try to be Now here we are, all crowded in the same bar Hopefully this won’t be one of those nights where you see That the asshole is me

Good For You 03:23
Hey, nice set, I’ve got a question for you Are you a full-time musician or do you have a real job too? How much do you get paid? How often do you get laid? You’re so good at what you do, so stick with it, good for you Hey there, good pickin’, is that a Gretsch or a Gibson? Of course, I knew that. Me, I play a Strat Wanna see a picture of my jamspace? My nephew’s in a band, he plays the bass His name is Jim, do you know him? By the way, that’s a sweet amp, what kind of tubes do you use? That output transformer on it looks pretty huge! My buddy was the guitar tech for the Tragically Hip, I could introduce him to you and the rest of the crew Good for you, good for you Cuz you do what you love and you love what you do Good for you, good for you Cuz you do what you love and you love what you do You do what you love and you love what you do Do what you love and you love what you do Do what you love and you love what you do Good for you Hey, good show, looked like you were having fun up there You’re not finished are you? But we just got here! You’re all really talented but can I give you some advice? If you keep playing what you’re playing, this party’s gonna die My friends just wanna dance can you play something we know? Like ACDC or CCR, can you add it to your show? How come you’re not famous, why haven’t I heard of you before? You should totally play Coachella or the Commodore Good for you, good for you Cuz you do what you love and you love what you do Good for you, good for you Cuz you do what you love and you love what you do You do what you love and you love what you do Do what you love and you love what you do Do what you love and you love what you do Stick with it!

No Fun City 03:36
Me and The Rooster were playing on Saturday night Down at the local bar on the East side We were bringing down the house and they were screaming for more Dancing like Kevin Bacon in 1984 Just when I was popping my rock n’ roll boner A man tapped me on the shoulder, told me he was the owner He said, “You need a license for dancing in here So could you tell all these people to get back in their chairs?” In no fun city, no fun city, no fun city A few people never hurt anyone Why write a law that sucks, up all the fun In no fun city, no fun city, no fun city Went to cabaret to see the Demon Squadron play It was Friday night and packed as tight as a Tokyo subway The band was smoking hotter than the surface of the sun The crowd was blowing up like the Challenger One At 10pm the venue pulled the plug on the show They said we got to make room for the disco, let’s go And as they cleared the room and hustled us out the door We saw a DJ spinning to an empty dance floor In no fun city, no fun city, no fun city Why kick everyone when the night has just begun? Sure you make more money but it sure ain’t no fun In no fun city, no fun city, no fun city There’s a story I’ve been hearing again and again About a guy who moves to the heart of East Van He heard the neighbourhood was good and vibrant and hip So he got a flat above a bar right down on the strip Soon the music and the laughter it made him uptight Till he learned how to make it stop, he called the cops every night Now that bar has a decibel meter they keep waving around Cuz if we have a good time they get a fine, so we’ve got to keep it down In no fun city, no fun city, no fun city There are so many places you could live under the sun So why would you move here when you’re no fun? In no fun city, no fun city, no fun city

We all sleep. Most of us have sex. But some of us have sex while we're sleeping, although we appear to be wide awake. This condition is called Sexsomnia, or sleep sex. Little is known about this mysterious phenomenon. But for some, the shadowy world of Sexsmonia Is a dark and fearful place.

Sexsomnia 03:21
Roll over baby, I’ve got some business with you Cuz I’m dreaming of you lover and I’m underneath the covers with you Slide over baby, what we gonna do Cuz it’s the middle of the night I need a little lovin’ right now with you I’m lying here next to you But is it a dream or am I coming to? Sexsomnia (I’m a creep when I sleep) Sexsomnia (I’m a creep when I sleep) Sexsomnia, Sexsomnia, Sexsomnia Roll over baby, what you tryin to do? Cuz I’m tossing and a-turning and a-lusting and a-burning for you Slide over baby, what you wanna do? Cuz I’m up for getting down so don’t stop turn around, love me too I’m lying here next to you But is it a dream or am I coming to? Sexsomnia (I’m a creep when I sleep) Sexsomnia (I’m a creep when I sleep) Sexsomnia, Sexsomnia, Sexsomnia Sexsomnia, Sexsomnia, Sexsomnia

When you play dick roulette you never know what you gonna get You’re playing a game of change when you take off your pants Wondering will this dick be a disappointment? Will I get a rash, will I need some ointment? Cuz you might get crabs or you might get scabies Or the biggest STI of all, a baby! Oh hey boy I’ve got a hot pickup tip Nothing whips down my zip, like a man who’s been snipped Dick Roulette (you never know what you gonna get, when you play) Dick Roulette (when you play, when you play) Dick Roulette (you never know what you gonna get, when you play) Dick Roulette Never know what dick you gonna pick when you’re a blackout pickpocket for dicks Never know what bone you’re gonna dig, might be a t-rex or a twig Might be a double decker bus, or a Volkswagen Beetle Might be Arnold Schwarzenegger or Danny DeVito A knotty piece of driftwood shirt-cocking at the beach A grower, a shower, a baby’s arm holding a peach Might be a travel-sized toothpaste in size and shape Or a store bought polenta in girth and weight Might be a hammerhead shark, a squirrel with alopecia Might be King Kong or the Prince of Micronesia It’s a wheel of fortune with dicks for spokes It’s a pack of cigarettes with dicks for smokes It’s rappelling down a slope with dicks for ropes It’s flying in a seaplane with dicks for floats It’s an electric fence with dicks for posts It’s Frankenstein’s monster with dicks for bolts It’s a grilled cheese sandwich with dicks for toast It’s a petting zoo, with dicks for goats! Dick Roulette (you never know what you gonna get, when you play) Dick Roulette (when you play, when you play) Dick Roulette (you never know what you gonna get, when you play) Dick Roulette

about

Kitty & The Rooster's second album picks up right where their first record One Gig Hard Drive left off with more true tales from the tour van. Featuring catchy 60’s surf inspired tunes with witty irreverent lyrics, this album contains some of the duo’s most popular songs from their live show. Good For You is an upbeat surf number composed entirely of hilarious things audience members have said to the band after shows, Everybody’s Somebody’s Asshole is a 50’s slow dance with a hefty dose of honesty, and Play Like A Motherfucker is an anthem for female musicians everywhere, “I don’t play like a girl, I don’t play like a boy, I just play like a motherfucker”.

For a duo, Kitty & The Rooster make quite a lot of noise. Ain’t Pussyfootin’ Around is dripping with vintage reverb and high energy rockabilly-esque vocals on a bed of pounding surf drums.
