Pete Criss was a cat
we were fine with that
sitting on his mat
as a cat should
Until one fine day
which one I can’t say
Petey ran away
misunderstood
All the world to see
he wanted to be
able to play free
and now he could
He travelled the land
with drum sticks in hand
and joined a rock band
his life was good

I never saw them live. I think they did their final farewell tour in 2019. Of course, it was not their first farewell tour π

No. The fifth farewell tour does take the impact out of it π€£

You got them all in there! Well, the original members. Nicely done.

Put me in mind of this UK TV advert for milkshake from back in the day…
This itself was actually inspired by the early stuff from: rathergood.com/2015/11/03/classic-rathergood-stuff/
You should have a look through these vaults actually if you’re not familiar Mr Mouse. I can personally recommend the misheard Simply Red lyrics, the spongmonkeys and the very naughty rude hedgehogs!!
Ah, the old days were the best!!

The links won’t work. I tried a few different ways, but I think it won’t play because I’m foreign.
I saw the spongemonkeys and holding back the (years) ears listed. I can only imagine what he would be doing to the bunny.
I miss the good old days ππ
