I used to drive up and down the eastern stretch of 635, LBJ freeway. Off of the Skillman exit I think, is this shopping center with a vet clinic that had CAT HOSPITAL on the side facing the highway for people to see. After passing it a zillion times, I decided to name this song and album after it. I still owe em a copy of it. They didn't ask for one, but I'm just sayin'.
lyrics
I was walkin' along
And I didn't know where I was going.
I don't think that I was listening to the radio.
I was on my way to work one day.
Ergonomic stapler.
This song isn't about anything,
But you probably knew that.
This song is about everything.
Cat Hospital, woo-oo-hoo!
Cat Hospital, woo-oo-hoo!
Cat Hospital, woo-oo-hoo!
Cat Hospital.
I'm going to space next week
So I can have a place and get me a good job
Living on the moon!
Cat Hospital, woo-oo-hoo!
Cat Hospital, woo-oo-hoo!
Cat Hospital, woo-oo-hoo!
This song is about a lot of things
That don't mean anything
But they mean everything that they mean
So what does that mean?
Diet Pepsi.
Cat Hospital, woo-oo-hoo!
Cat Hospital, woo-oo-hoo!
Cat Hospital, woo-oo-hoo!
Cat Hospital, woo-oo-hoo!
Are you crying yet?
Are you laughing yet?
Do you know what a headlight is
On Friday night?
Do you understand it?
Can you get a groove to it?
A MiniDisc is not what I'm recording on.
Cat Hospital, woo-oo-hoo!
Cat Hospital, woo-oo-hoo!
Cat Hospital, woo-oo-hoo!
Cat Hospital, woo-oo-hoo!
Cat Hospital, woo-oo-hoo!
Cat Hospital, woo-oo-hoo!
Don't know what I'm doing on the 18th.
Sunflower seeds.
Cat Hospital, woo-oo-hoo!
Cat Hospital, woo-oo-hoo!
Cat Hospital, woo-oo-hoo!
Don't you know it,
I can't sing.

10,000 Lakes began in 1993, as a solo project using a Casio SA-7, a combination of acoustic and electric guitar, and
completely random lyrics recorded onto a tape recorder. The style has mostly stayed the same, except for a change in keyboard to a CA-110, and pro mic's and a mixer. Chopstick shoes. My belt buckle rented someone else's cupcake remedy....more
The bassline background, thematic intro samples, and the silliness-with-a-straight-face lyrics and vocals make Forming a fantastic album. You'll quote lines from it like you would a comedy movie! 10,000 Lakes
Lo-fi power pop and 100% rock n roll! If you thought rock n roll was dead take a listen to these guys. Both of their albums are amazing - they capture soul music and good times flawlessly. 10,000 Lakes
