This is one of the most weird and forgotten singles of the mid 60s. And No, The B-side was NOT "Feedin' My Dog Named Cat"

The song is a true story. Norma lived in a New York apartment where dogs weren't permitted so got a cat named it Dog, and took it for neighbourhood walks! 😀

Before I even knew that this song existed, I named my boy Dee Oh Gee. He was found in a closet in an abandoned apartment. He was tiny. My roommate had a golden retriever named diesel. (RIP D) Roommates gf had a puppy. The cats name is Smoky Dee Oh Gee because he thinks he’s a dog

Tanega worked for a short time at a mental hospital, where she sang and played songs for patients. She spent her summers working as a camp counselor upstate in the Catskill Mountains. Brooklyn-based record producer Herb Bernstein saw Tanega performing while visiting the camp one summer. Impressed by what he saw, Bernstein introduced her to Four Seasons songwriter Bob Crewe. The two men produced a number of recordings that comprised Tanega's first album was released on Crewe's New Voice Records label in 1966. Her first single, "Walkin' My Cat Named Dog", became an international hit in 1966, peaking at number 22 on both the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and the UK Singles Charts, and #3 in Canada. Tanega's impetus for the song came from living in a New York City apartment building that did not allow dogs; instead she owned a cat which she named "Dog" and took for walks.

I remember buying this as a single when I was 10. I used to pay for my older sister and brother to buy the records they wanted, and while they would be off buying Monkees or Beatles or Stones etc. I would be trawling through the weirdo bin of records that NOBODY bought, and just picked ones with cool names. Pressed Rat and Warthog was another fine purchase, along with Quick Joey Small, which I bought not for the song title, but the band name, being Kasenatz Katz Orchestral Circus. I got some great records out of that little singles bin, plus I got a Black Plastic Beatles Hairstyle Wig, for 10 cents. As such a junior Entrepreneur my family thought I may become a great businessman or Economist but I ended up a drug dealer instead, lol, funny old world innit?

CKLW had rankings that closely paralleled Billboard but was more accurate to mid-country tastes. I know for fact this was song 31 on CKLW around March 1, 1966 (see my other post). Jerry Lewis and the Playboys had a "hit" running concurrently "Everybody Loves A Clown." or something like that. Talk about two opposites.

During the late 1960s Tanega had a romantic relationship with singer Dusty Springfield.[3]Tanega wrote lyrics to a number of songs Springfield recorded during this period: "No Stranger Am I", "Earthbound Gypsy", "Midnight Sounds", "The Colour of Your Eyes", "Morning (Bom Dia)" and "Go My Love". They remained friends until Springfield's death in 1999. She co-wrote "Dusty Springfield" with Blossom Dearie.

Simply beautiful. It reminds me of high school. The year it came out I was a senior & it sounds as if it were only yesterday. Music can transport one to a period in life. I had a heavy crush on Elaine Casebeer but I could never tell her. I was so innocent.

They Might Be Giants just released a cover of this tune as their Dial-a-Song for the week of July 27, 2015. I just heard it at the end of "The Gist with Mike Pesca" podcast; I don't have a real good ear, but it sounds like TMBG recorded in the same key, singing falsetto. I remembered the song, but not the name of the artist or even exactly when it was released. Thanks for helping me scratch that itch.

Flora Bunda Sad reason probably is, she was smart, she was talented, she played her own guitar and wrote her own songs, but was not Caucasian. If blonde and skinny, somehow the PR comes right along for you at record speed, but if you're female and of color... well, just listen to the lyrics to her other song, "You're Dead". I did and almost cried because as a female film director of color I knew EXACTLY what those lyrics are about. Racism is real. That's why it never got past 22.
