MC Skat Kat – Skat Strut

Posted in Songs | 4 comments

You may be familiar of MC Skat Kat, the animated cat who did a duet with Paula Abdul in “Opposites Attract”. Skat Kat then released an album in 1991. I clearly remember its music video – this song became a huge hit whenever I attended house parties back then. It samples Earth, Wind & Fire’s Let’s Groove. I loved this song!

MC Skat Kat & The Stray Mob – Skat Strut

Well You’ve never seen a kat with so much charisma
Got More Moves than a mutant ninja- turtle that is
And I’m doing the Skat Strut
To hell with John Travolta and the Disco Duck

They call me Skat Kat, the dance floor maniac
One more of my hip is like an afro-disiac
Swinging and winging I’m just doing my own thing
Girls don’t jump me
Give me room to be funky

Step to the dance floor bust a little spin
(I thought I saw a putty kat, I did) Shut up kid!
This is a new dance so shake your butt
And get a load of what its like to be doing Skat Strut

Now Jack was nimble and Jack was quick
But it was Skat Kat that made Jack trip
I burned him on the butt with a flick of my bic
And then I cold ran away with the candle stick
I’ve got all the right moves
Ladies think I’m lovable

Love to wine and dine sippin’ on bubble
But most of all, I like dancing y’all
And doing my Skat Strut from wall to wall
It’s as simple as it gets, just stick out your neck

Lift up your leg and step to the left
Now shake a little as you groove to the beat
Bend over, shake your big booty

And if you get dizzy from shaking your butt
You must have shook the wrong end cuz you ain’t doing the skat strut
(I though I saw a putty kat- I did, I did)
As we go a little something like this – Hit it!!

Without a question, its the strut to fame
I can see myself now on the aisles of “Soul Train”
People want to know if its meant to be silly
I say only when it’s done by Milli and Vanilli

The dance is mine a generation of felines
Mastered this step back in ’69
Return of the Skat Strut a brand new dance
(I thought I) could but you can’t – BUST IT
