The Ballad of the Empty Bowl - Bubba Whiskers | Cat song, country music parody

This self-titled album from 1966 was the only recording that Bubba Whiskers and the Rodent Wranglers ever released. The pressures and demands of stardom proved to be too much for Bubba, Carl, and Tiger, and they soon dropped out of the public eye, choosing instead to go live as barn cats on a farm in Tennessee.

(A disclaimer: This song was not actually written, played, sung, or recorded by cats. It was created by a guy named Ric. Hi, that's me. The lyrics and album designs are created by me, but because it's difficult to get real cats to sing and play instruments (at least in a reasonably competent manner), some AI tools were used to assist in the creation of the music/vocals and cat photography.)

Lyrics:
My bowl in the hallway
sits empty, void, and bare
No kibble, food, or treats inside
It really isn't fair
My stomach rumbles, aches and growls
things are looking bleak
I haven't eaten in an hour
but it feels like a week
I'm calling out, please hear me
I make a plaintive cry
If I don't get some food real soon
I swear I'm gonna die
My human doesn't answer
She's in the other room
Oh ceiling cat please help me
and save me from this doom
I'm mewing loud and louder
Where can my human be?
She might be in the bathroom now
why can't she hear my plea?
I'm feeling faint, I'm feeling thin
I'm making so much sound
If I don't get some chow right quick
I'll be down to ninteen pounds
I'm not a very picky cat
I eat meat of many kinds
But when my bowl gets empty
It makes me lose my mind
I'm calling out, please hear me
I make a plaintive cry
If I don't get some food real soon
I swear I'm gonna die
My human doesn't answer
She's in the other room
Oh ceiling cat please help me
and save me from this doom

This is the cats pajamas!

[@jamesstegemoeller9069]

I see what you did there 😂😂

[@titaniumspike1779]

Sounds a whole lot like the Soggy Clawdom Boys from O Brother Where Art Meow

[@garrettebling5426]

Well spayed, my friend. Well spayed.

[@lashlarue7924]

here you devil, take my like 👍

[@festushagan3921]

Meowl Watkins and Lesstorn Fluff and Hurl Scruffy would be proud! Too bad Bubba succumbed to a bad Catnip problem later in one of his 9 lives.

[@randquadrozzi1280]

This song describes the everyday problems of a poor house cat and The drama of having one for a pet

[@beckirose1]

Of all the AI stuff I've heard this is by far my favorite.

[@ejhickey]

Came for the comments . Not disappointed

[@clicheguevara5282]

When it's 6:01 PM and my cat starts loading her Springfield lever action rifle.

[@lokigordon6311]

I've got one with a Desert Eagle. I feel like we can commiserate. We should get together and spend all day hiding from them.

[@jussix48]

Very nice... 🕵🏻🎶🙂👍👍

[@AJKPenguin]

Oh Ceiling Cat, please help me. : )

[@superfunnyguy0196]

I have a bootleg recording of a “lost track” by Bubba “Neuter Me and I’ll Neuter You.”

[@SamSung-xz7jt]

The original Nashville Cats.

[@Crocogator]

"Down to 19 pounds" got me good.

[@delialavender6655]

I love this. I live in an Old Western city and I swear I've seen those faces in human form around town.

[@flobrez2470]

I think my cat wrote this

[@lokigordon6311]

My cats are about to sue you for not mentioning their credit. 😂

[@CarsandCats]

This is going to blow up BIGTIME!

[@mumblesbadly7708]

I hope Ceiling Cat came through and saved the protagonist of this song!

[@AnalyticalReckoner]

Finally, an adult.

[@jeffmcarthur5617]

Oh, this is so cool! I got this as a recommendation from KZbin! Woohoo!

[@KeepItClassy4Life]

Being the cat lovers we are, my mom bought this album at our local Kmart when it debuted, and I grew up listening to it. We played it for our cats all the time. It was their favorite record.

[@jimdavidson7771]

I would have kept those facts under my hat.

[@KeepItClassy4Life]

Sarcasm at its finest

[@PotterPossum1989]

Damn it, I was hoping there was a physical copy lol

[@saianjuma1]

ok, I'm not sure what sick-o AI algorithm keeps infecting my feed, but I strongly suggest bringing more like this. I'm dying. DYING.

[@williamleadbetter9686]

Most cats would have to waste away to normal before they could waste away to nothing

[@The_Kiosk]

The music today not only lacks soul, the lyrics also show just how far we've strayed from Ceiling Cat.

[@TomokoAbe_]

Simply beautiful. Singing is great!

[@ArtificialEarworms]

Now this is how it's done. 👏🙇🏆🍻

[@burettobusu3715]

Nice touch with the Kmart price tag. $.99 might've been more accurate.

[@v1e1r1g1e1]

I'd pay $4.99 for it!!

[@The_Kiosk]

My catbabies sing this several times a day.

[@bunberrier]

This is the real Cat Country, not that commercial crap they have now.

[@PotterPossum1989]

I would play this unironically

[@xeutoniumnyborg1192]

I see my cat has discovered AI. Maybe I need to be powering down my devices at night.

[@lokigordon6311]

If you don't, they'll eat the charger. Ask me how I know. "Mommy. I has killed the snake. It did not struggle... Much. It died valiantly."

[@tomkershaw4384]

Way better than songs about farts.

[@yourtubisfilled7164]

In before the first AI cat farts song hits the charts.

[@melaniabladeofmiquella]

I don't think you've listened to Fart God Generator, I really don't

[@tomkershaw4384]

@@melaniabladeofmiquella Ha !

[@ukestudio3002]

Great song, wonderfully done. Also..gives me "pause" . What a cat-astrophe .!

[@angelawheeler7825]

I love this beautiful beautiful beautiful song and I subscribed to your wonderful channel.i love all animals so much.😊❤❤❤

My cat started dancing a jig.

This is my Molly's theme.

[@indigowolf556]

My cat has fallen in love with this singer she loves this song and so do I

[@johnbauman4005]

Nice authentic touch with the vinyl record scratches and hiss at the end - took me back!

[@djkramnik1]

love the lyrics to this

[@HopefulRaceTrack-zd5ex]

Before Cat Stevens fell out with the banjo player and went solo. Band breakups were always sad, but, it worked out in the long run

[@thesongbird2383]

Hey Caterwaul Records, Could one of your Catets record a rendition of "I'm An Old Cat Hand, 'Cause I Ain't A Young One"? I'd love to hear it! Thanks 👍💜🐈🐈🐈🐈

[@bingo5694]

Sun Darts vibes at the beginning

[@lokigordon6311]

"Mommy. I was hungry. I has killed the snake. It did not struggle...much. It died valiantly." -Tobi. Feed your cats, kids. Your face may be next.

[@stevecharman8420]

I dig this. It's the cat's whiskers!

[@bethbrown1207]

Hahaha 😆

[@gamermcgameface5470]

Cheers

[@q95oldies57]

How true!!!! LOL

[@vitaliyjuterbog8912]

This is outstanding. Maybe AI should rule us.

[@angelawheeler7825]

Please how can I get this on CD? I love bubba whiskers, so much.

[@Thatoneboywastaken]

Well for poor southern pet owners it hits the mark🤣pretty sure my sister’s cat wrote this….w the dogs help😂

It become a thing. None of it stands up.

You're sharp.

who cares though? It's awesome.

[@flannigan7956]

The picture is funny but the song is buttpoop

[@Jones-pj2jk]

How do I bury someone else's comment into the kitty litter?

[@titaniumspike1779]

Nah it slaps and goes hard

[@1959Pontiac]

This is real country not the shit they play now.

[@xeutoniumnyborg1192]

This song is better than 90% of the songs released over the last 10 years.

[@aquatarkus2022]

Scoop it up!
