There are a lot of groups out there who use humor in their songs, but hands-down nobody beat King Missile at it. What a pity they're no longer active. Typically the backing band would play an inventive Rock tune while the lead singer mouthed side-splittingly hilarious lyrics in a monotone. These are the people responsible for such classics as the "Detachable Penis" song, "Sensitive Artist," and "Jesus Was Way Cool". Apart from the postmodern wit, musically this band is very talented. Their live show was even more entertaining: during the song "Pickaxe," the lead singer ran into the crowd swinging an actual pickaxe around his head; during the song about the "Cheesecake Truck," knowledgeable fans threw dozens of cheesecakes on the stage. Here's my favorite King Missile song, and it has to be heard to be believed -- hence the audio clip.


"How to Remember Your Dreams" by King Missile

In order to remember your dreams, you must think of them as if they were little kittens.

When you wake up in the morning, before you get out of bed, sit up and say, "Here, kitty, kitty,

"Kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty,

"Here, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty,

"Here, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty --

"Kitty, kitty."

If this does not work, you must go into the kitchen and pour out a saucer of cream........................................................

Place it by the foot of the bed, and say, "Here, Kitty, kitty,

"Kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty,

"Here, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty,

"Here, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty,

"Here, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty,

"Here, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty,

"Here, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty,

"Here, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty,

"Kitty, kitty - - - - "


when the kitten

takes the cream

the dream

is remembered.
