Harry Chapin Parody: CATS IN THE KETTLE
Harry Chapin wrote good songs. Chinese food is safe 'n tasty. Cats are great.
So why do a parody about 'em? Oh, why not. Manic Larry Baker's "Cats in the Kettle" is short and sweet (and sour). A little tasteless, a little un-PC, but it doesn't really harm Harry, cats, or the reputation of Chinese kitchens.
With novelty songs, often taped off the radio or just tossed on P2P sites, the credit gets lost, or worse, ends up tagged as Weird Al Yankovic or Anonymous. The song was written by "Manic Larry Baker," and apparently performed by Aaron Wilburn.
