[@sebskelly]

Heck out our band bare jams! He's our frontman and absolutely kills it

[@AnIdiotsLantern]

@@sebskelly the hardest thing is making it look easy. He makes it look like an afterthought, while never singing a flat note or missing a beat

[@JosiahTWalls-zq2bw]

This song cheers me up. My band at school is so trash. Half of the band doesn't even care about music! Thanks for creating actually good music!

[@supermelon-senpai8369]

oof. I can relate.

[@GrumpyStormtrooper]

that's what happens when parents force their kids to do activities they don't want. i didn't like music or piano when i was in school and i hated taking lessons, i was shit and didn't enjoy it, recitals were just a chore. now that i actually like music and have gotten half good at it i'm enjoying a lot.

[@GrumpyStormtrooper]

but if i didn't take lessons then i wouldn't have learned the basic technique i needed to play like i do now. it's a double sided coin.

[@itsharharhoman1859]

The audacity for you to cover such a legendary song. . . and nail it perfectly. This is amazing! Not sure about the thumbnail, but I'm certainly glad I watched it. You all put on a flawless show.

[@SniperCatModz]

The thumbnail is in your mind, that's why you were blown away on them nailing it because you though it was horrible just by looking at the thumbnail, but you were stunned on the way the music spoke to your heart. Lol song so good fr fr I'd hear it

[@gengarphantom6967]

how is this nailed? where is the fortune cookie part? Stay true to the core otherwise is garbage.

[@Saxplayer_11]

My son is special needs and he loves The Aristocats and this song 🎵 he agrees that jazz music 🎷🎺🎶 sure bounces and makes you want to dance 💃!

[@mint-flavouredsand8943]

That bari line in the chorus is PUMPIN

[@popcornsamurai]

Wow I would absolutely buy tickets to see this band. Thank you for this gift.

[@CalebNorman]

This was literally the best version I have ever heard of this song, and there are a surprising amount of covers. Terrific job!! This was a ton of work and it was worth it for that payoff...The variety of incredible moments along with the fact that you played the song as it appeared in the movie just completed the experience. What an achievement!

[@samberwick8574]

I’m sad your account hadn’t blown up as much as Christopher’s, we use your music for our brass ensemble all the time, just Thankyou man

As a young aspiring jazz musician myself all I can say is 'Groovy Mumma, Groovy' oh and I've watched this 6 times already!

[@CouchEconomyTX]

Everybody wants to be a cat Because a cat's the only cat who knows where it's at Tell me, everybody's pickin' up on that feline beat 'Cause everything else is obsolete A square with a horn Makes you wish you weren't born Every time he plays But with a square in the act You can set music back To the caveman days I've heard some corny birds who tried to sing Still a cat's the only cat Who knows how to swing Who wants to dig a long-haired gig stuff like that? When everybody wants to be a cat A square with a horn Makes you wish you weren't born, Every time he plays Oh riki-tiki-tinky With a square in the act You can set music back to the Caveman days Everybody wants to be a cat Because a cat's the only cat who knows where it's at When playin' jazz he always has a welcome mat 'Cause everybody digs a swingin' cat Everybody, everybody Everybody wants to be a cat Hallelujah Everybody, everybody Everybody wants to be a cat Everybody, everybody Everybody wants to be a cat Everybody, everybody Everybody wants to be a cat
