The Pussycat Song


Click play to listen. (Audio is potentially NSFW)

This 20-second audio clip is:

a) From the soundtrack of a hardcore pornographic movie made sometime in the late 1970s.
b) From Slovenia’s most popular album of children’s songs, MaÄ?ek Muri.

If you guessed “a” you should be right but aren’t. If you guessed “b” you shouldn’t be right but are. The name of the song is Muca Maca (Pussy Cat) and it’s by the beloved singer of kids’ songs, Neca Falk.

I can’t imagine what the reaction to this song would be in the land of milk and honey, where people see hidden schlongs on DVD covers and think Tinky Winky is an undercover homosexual recruiter.

I doubt it’d be good.

And the fact that the song is about a “pussy cat” (yes, it’s also a double entendre in Slovene) surely wouldn’t help much in her defense.

    Once again, Michael delivers with the smut. Now if you could just combine the audio of this post with the visual elements of, say, your “In My Dreaming” post, our NSFW browsing experience would be complete.

    Hey! Don’t mess with MaÄ?ek Muri! A lot of us achieved early sexual and social maturity with this cassete! :D I.e.: You must work hard to get the pussy (and in the end she will run away with a writer), all the big cats are thieves, all the small thieves are actually good guys, Slovenia is a nation of writers, poets and general know-it-alls, children party when mom and dad are away, etc… :D

    In defense of MaÄ?ek Muri & The Gang (I’m a huge fan btw) - I think the point being made (although rather badly, I admit) in this portion of the song is that the “Pussy Cat” is a very sleepy person, uhm, cat, uhm, cat-person and that she has just woken up. So the sounds you hear are that of yawning and general morning stretching. Although, there could be a very slow kind of a morning quicky involved, now that I think about it…

    Shrink shows to the patient a triangle. “What’s this?�
    - A pussy!
    Shrink shows to the patient a circle. “What’s this?�
    - A pussy!
    Shrink shows to the patient a square. “What’s this?�
    - A pussy!
    Shrink: �You are a sex-maniac�
    - “I am a maniac? But it’s you showing me all this stuff!�

    Michael, you got it?

    @matej: You see! It was actually sexual education in disguise!

    Hey that is funny :)

    On another note:

    There is a brilliant campaign sweeping all across Europe right now to prevent Turkey joining the EU and convincing EU politicians that people don’t want it in EU.

    People are crossing out the image of Turkey on the map of Europe on each Euro note they have and passing the notes along. Brilliant campaign. You can find the campaign flyer to send to all your friends to do the same.

    Here’s the link for this campaign: www.tigeywigey.com/images/turkeynotes.jpg

    Michael, Michael, your lack of research dissapoints.What you’re missing here is a link to Tina Gorenjak’s cover of the song and majorly NSFW video.

    Oh, that whole tape has made it to cult status just because it’s full of double-entendres and stuff. Think about it - a tape of childrens’ songs, that grown ups can see from a completely different perspective. :)
    And besides, the whole protect-our-children-from-general-dirtiness thing is blown way out of proportions, methinks. There was this song I remember in which the chorus went something like (including the rather blunt pun): “My girlfriend’s got a pitch black pussy cat and I play with it all nights”, and I remember being baffled by this when I was little. You know, the guy’s got a girlfriend, but then he plays with her cat? And here I am, not a serial rapist, deluded maniac psychopath or generaly unpleasant person, eventhough I have heard the forbidden word on the radio when I was a child. :)

    I think americans are just so anal that they actually like perversion and “bad things”, but since it’s supposed to be inappropriate they pretend to avoid it and yell to scandal each time they hear somebody saying fuck! Check this documentary:

    Just updated the Flash Player and the audio control still doesn’t work in IE 7 (it works in Firefox). I don’t think I have any stupidly restriciteve security setting turned on, either. Please consider using some other audio control in the future.

    MaÄ?ek Muri is innocent. Don’t you remember Neca’s banane (lyrics by Tomaž Domicelj)?

    Incidentally, Neca Falk will sing unplugged (izštekana) this Friday evening, starting a few minutes after 10:20pm.

    @Mathew: Hey, forget “banane”. Remember “Martinov lulÄ?ek” by Andrej Å ifrer!!!! :D

    It can’t get it to work either (I use IE 6).

    pengovsky: And the “owner” of this Martinov lulÄ?ek is soooo cute. And a nice and friendly guy as well. But I have to admit it was hard to keep a straigh face when they told me it’s THE Martin - son of Å ifrer. :D :D

    Yes, I know of him… Quite a ladies’ man I hear, as well :) Also, apparently he’s an excellent salsa dancer, and judging from your blog, I’m starting to put two and two together ;)

    Indeed. I met him there, but he’s not a regular visitor.
