Big Stray Cats fan...I'm no Brian Setzer. Been messing around with this fiff/song for many many months and thought this was my chance. Threw the whole kitchen sink into this one. I listen to a lot of Jefferson Airplane, Traffic & The Dead so I am trying to incorporate some of the original Psychedelic ideas but always striving to make it my own trip also.

1 riff uke (stereo)
1 rhythm uke(stereo)
1 A/E bass (distorted all to hell)
1 drums (stereo)
2 lead ukes(both stereo)
2 animoog app tracks (both stereo)
3 vocals (all stereo & with Harmony effects)
Reverb (everywhere)

Because the Hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie

On that you can rely

Madder than a box of cats, and I love it. That mad 'Meeeooww'!!!! Fucking awesome.
I loved the slightly sinister feel, just like cats....
This is so cool brother.

Somehow manages to be both psychedelic and rockabilly at the same (and staring you down whilst doing so).

Really enjoyed it. Psychadeladia seems to be all about kitchen sinks, turns out.

Crazy-good stuff, Mr. Hook. Love the choice and the full treatment you gave it - a great improvement on the original!

Wow a fabulous version.
Very trippy with an eery quality to it.
Those backing vocals are excellent.
It almost sounds like theres a whammy bar in there somewhere.
I love the way the ending spills away like cans rolling down a hill.
Superb
