Leave My Kitten Alone:The Sonics

Artist: The Sonics

Album: The Jerden Years

Appears On (Mixes): Dub Club Matt Auxilliary: KITTY!!!

Song Notes: This is, of course, a cover of the old standard, which has been covered by a ton of people, including Elvis Costello (who'd also occasionally reference it in the lyrics) and The Beatles. This is from an odds-and-sods type compilation from The Sonics, and it's a pretty cool one. I can't recall whether or not this one was also on the Introducing The Sonics album or was a single/b-side/outtake, but it's still pretty cool, either way. The Sonics were such a great, great band. One I cannot recommend checking out enough, though you'd probably want to start with the essential Here Are The Sonics!!!, and then maybe Boom, which is a little uneven, but has some great songs on there. - Rev.
