“Big Black Cat” (Song, “52 Make-Up” Week 12)

“Big Black Cat” (Song, “52 Make-Up” Week 12) March 29, 2017

This week’s installment of my 52 Makeup Challenge is a fun little song.

Where do songs come from? In this case, from 1. Seeing a big black cat in my back yard, 2. Tweeting about it, and 3. Noticing the nice rhythm of the phase “Big black cat in my backyard”.

“Staring in at me through the window” is not quite as rhythmic, and “window” doesn’t have a lot of good rhymes; a minute’s reflection shows that “Staring through the window at me” works better as a song lyric, And from there’s we’re off.
