I hear the chords from "Something About Us" by Daft Punk (which sample "The Ballad of Dorothy Parker" by my favorite, Prince) and the background vocals from "The People" by Common (which I think are probably originally from some funk song from the 70s) being sampled. This is one of my favorite songs on this album. 🙌🏽💜 Thundercat's lyrics though... He references Lion King, "Everything the light touches..." and Aristocats “Everybody wants to be a cat...” Not to mention I love cats. 🐱 lmao
this song is so pure. :/ it's like the feeling of being completely stripped of everything, reduced to your core, tryna shamefully cover yourself in the sunlight, and the sunlight responding "you don't have to do that. you were taught to. but you don't have to do that here." thanks for reading this batshit insane comment ;) hope you're groovy
[Intro] Meow, meow Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow Meow, meow Meow [Verse] I wish I had nine lives I bet it feels real nice Sitting in the sun Letting the rays wash over me No one watching over me I do what I want Everybody wants to be a cat It's cool to be a cat Everything the light touches It's where I will roar My roar would be so powerful I would scare off everything [Hook] Cool to be a cat (meow, meow, meow, meow) Cool to be a cat (meow, meow, meow, meow) Cool to be a cat (meow, meow, meow, meow) Cool to be a cat [Outro] Meow, meow Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow Meow, meow Meow, meow Meow
My family cat was put down two months ago. We got her when I was a kid and had her for 17 years. She was with us through everything. I love this song because it reminds me that even though we saw her suffering toward the end and we miss her so much, wherever she is now she’s probably having a better time than we are.
@@churchofsandal man there's a huge gap between thundercat and davie504 haha, only people up there with thundercat are people like jaco, stan Clarke, tetsuo sakurai etc, davies a good bassist but nothing amazing
Tom Channelle this was a year ago when i liked davie504 i fucking hate him now (his content i mean, he’s a fine bassist i guess but nowhere near thundercats level)
I don`t know why, but I can fall asleep only when this song is in my night playlist and when it`s playing out of my phone under the pillow... It`s beat and melody are just so warm and chilly, lyrics are so dreamy and light... All of this makes me feel that my problems and all people`s routine are just so meaningless and it`s sometimes better to live like a cat, doing nothing, enjoying life with no reason, sitting in the sun... It`s cool to be cat...
the chord progression sounds a lot like daft punk's "Something About Us" except with the last two chords changed. not downing it, just caught that and thought it was interesting. fuckin love the beat behind it.
it's actually sampled in the song, man at around 2:00 you can clearly hear the sample, it's a bit modified though there's some gating going on but you can pick it up.
Sir DankHustle all music is from something before them even Daft Punk. So whats the point of this comment except to degrade the originality. Passive aggressive doesn't make your statement anymore than trash
I started whistling I wish I was a cat, and outta nowhere a cat came from behind me and started rubbing it's head on me and I started petting and massaging his head, he started to massage my arm by doing a alternating paw press technique.
This song came on our speakers just as I was coming up on my first LSD trip, on a canoe ride in the middle of Rural Ghana. On my first Birthday post cancer diagnosis. The best.
It reminds of when I was in 6th grade because when this song came out my dad would play it every day when he would take me to school. I wish I could go back to a much simpler time in my life
@@forincognito22 Lowkey just listened to this for the first time rn and rushed here to see if anyone said thought so too I think the chords played on the synth keys are identical right down to the inversion Btw best song off of Discovery
what if the meaning of the song is freedom?, and wanting to be a stray cat is just a metaphor for being free and doing whatever you want without laws, society or anything that holds you back
This is the most beautiful song about wanting to be a cat I've ever heard
Can you name any others?
@@logumbogum950 Lmao that’s the point
The live one is better imho
@@logumbogum950 everybody wants to be a cat 🐈 aristocats 🤣
My cat passed away and Im listening to this in her memory
Thundercat the only artist who can make me dance to, "meow meow, meow meow meow."
😂😂😂
thundercat is the only artisit is banger songs I swear
Yesssss
Challenge accepted
I’m fucking white smoke jesus
This album is a night drive dream
Kenny Banger definitely made morning traffic tolerable
Recently put this album on play during my drive through Hamburg at night.
Comfiest ride I've ever had.
Some real Park Avenue type shit
truth
Hit different riding my bike alone at night
This beat is so good it makes me want some catnip
I can get you some, Hybrid or Indica?
S or R? Or a racemic blend?
...not sure why a box sounds nice to have right now..
@@Vesper8088
or perhaps a perfectly complacent, undisturbed, warm human asleep
This person said catnip! 🥺
I love the sample of the guy screaming YEAHHH it’s so funny to me
One of my favourite parts of the song. Lol
you wanna be a cat? YEAHH
sample sample was used in brothers in paris i think lmao

Mountain - Long Red
Morgan Schaeffer this dude is actually playing this on a bass
theres an obviously sample in the middle or near the end of this song
Hey Morgan, you’d like anything Anderson Paak with Knxledge.
Yay! And I love those two songs and totally fell in love with that one! Ooh my!
this song is purrrrfect
Nathan A. I'll give you the like!
Creative, and quite frankly I hate it
@Breanna Page lmao
aww!!! 🥺
I cannot stop listening to this song. The whole album is amazing.
Indubitably.

Bro your gay
Bro’s probably high af
fucks wrong wit you cuh
i'm 6 years late but this shit still sounds so nice and rich and full and groovy lmao
i can’t even describe how much i adore this, truly speaking for all cat lovers
Played this song for my cats, like “yo you got a theme song and everything!” No effs given.
[Intro]
Meow, meow
Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow
Meow, meow
Meow
[Verse]
I wish I had nine lives
I bet it feels real nice
Sitting in the sun
Letting the rays wash over me
No one watching over me
I do what I want
Everybody wants to be a cat
It's cool to be a cat
Everything the light touches
It's where I will roar
My roar would be so powerful
I would scare off everything
[Hook]
Cool to be a cat (meow, meow, meow, meow)
Cool to be a cat (meow, meow, meow, meow)
Cool to be a cat (meow, meow, meow, meow)
Cool to be a cat
[Outro]
Meow, meow
Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow
Meow, meow
Meow, meow
Meow
Tiago Patula the verse sounds deadass like a quote
Hiss
Tiago Patula meow meow meow

My condolences, late. I also have an elderly cat, I try not to think about the day she will leave me. It's a family member already.
Hope youre feeling good wherever you are now. Much love❤😿
This dude is smooth. So creative. His music is reminiscent of Stevie Wonder's "Journey Through the Secret Life of Plants". Almost other worldly...
That's probably Stevie's best work. Didn't think I'd find people across RUclips who actually know that album. It's incredible.
Ancient Egyptians wish they could hear this song.
Plot twist the lyrics are translated from ancient hieroglyphics
@@leosaffron222 oh shit gor real
Bruh that’s so true
If you're playing it on a Samsung, they can...
😂😂😂😂😂👍👍👍
Everybody wants to be a cat
Everything the light touches.
because a cat's the only cat, who knows where it's at

HALELUYAH
meow meow meow? MeOW! meoW MeOw!
*hiss*
No. It's meow meow. Meow meow meow meow okay? Two meows for the first and four for the sencond. NOW DO IT AGAIN!
The fact that thunder cats fingers sweep octaves as he sings an angelic voice is some superhero shit
Ideally, play this song while petting your cat. Happy shit.
most talented bassist ever imo
davie504 is pretty solid too. he doesn’t play a six string so your point still stands

holy shit i thought i was the only one that did this
This is the best thing I have ever heard
THE MEOWS
This is One Of My Favorite Album of All Time. I Appreciate You Thundercat. Reporting Live From 2022.
I've Never Heard Of Thundercat Until I Listened To 'To Pimp A Butterfly' By Kendrick Lamar. Now Thundercat Is For Sure One Of My Favorites💙
Strange I went the other way around and while listening to some songs on TPAB I was like holy shit that bass sounds like Thundercat!
same
Every time i click on another one of thundercats songs im like" no fuckin way this ones this good too?"
reminder that this is mandatory for the next Garfield movie soundtrack
That's only if the next Garfield is good enough to deserve it !
true
Please no that would ruin the song
I love u
Garfield: gets a divorce and loses the kids all while falling deeper into the void (this song comes on)
C A F T P U N K
My ex sent me this saying “I think this song will help you understand me on a deeper level”
Maya Rouillard try to get him back at all costs
They are for sure hot
@@jlokahi9104 frfr 😳
This is my go-to song to play when I’m chilling with my cats
best song on the album for me, and i have no idea why
cats are the best man...
meow meow meow meow meow meow
WE BECOMING CATS WITH THIS ONE‼️‼️🔥🔥💯💯💯
anyone else think about The Aristocats after listening to this? Everybody wants to be a cat!

Hi Melon
feeling a strong daft to a light punk on this one
EJ パンダ That's the first thing I said when I heard the break down at the end
it's actually sampled in the song, man
at around 2:00 you can clearly hear the sample, it's a bit modified though there's some gating going on but you can pick it up.
Sir DankHustle all music is from something before them even Daft Punk. So whats the point of this comment except to degrade the originality. Passive aggressive doesn't make your statement anymore than trash
I have so many memories and emotions tied to this song, every time I hear it I feel something.
This album is comforting me in my breaking up.
my cat actually likes this song because they say meow and he knows that word
stephen bruner(six string bass), jimmy james (first guitar), peter sagar (guitar, synths and samplers) and thomas pridgen(drums and percussion.)
Every Thundercat album feels so much better at 3am for some reason
I remember playing this song on my way to a job interview 3 years ago...
I started whistling I wish I was a cat, and outta nowhere a cat came from behind me and started rubbing it's head on me and I started petting and massaging his head, he started to massage my arm by doing a alternating paw press technique.
that is so sprcial
Just so you will know, that is called "making bread", cat loves on you dude.
Wittle babies was makin muffins
Man he really hit home with this one *wipes tear*
its nice to hear some actual art once in a while
Easily the best song on the album by a wide margin
incredible song
i feel like im hearing the "LOUDER!" sample that I always hear in either Dilla tracks or Madlib tracks
It's Madlib, and yeah same one
I wish I had 9 lives so I could devote my life to Thundercat more than once.
What is this bassline???? My soul is raving like there's no tomorrow!! What an amazing piece of art.
This song came on our speakers just as I was coming up on my first LSD trip, on a canoe ride in the middle of Rural Ghana. On my first Birthday post cancer diagnosis. The best.
start a meth business and go bald
I do what i want!!!!!!
there needs to be a 24 hour mix of this
I'm listening to this track at least once a day. Is it even legal to create such good songs?
Lmao.. I'm over here high AF over here meowing and jamming to this.
I just wanted to mention, that We're quietly waiting for part III.
Why is nobody talking about the Awesome Bassline?😭😭😭
Talking about music is like dancing about architecture
Meow mix wish they had this song
That cover makes him look like miles davis in the 70s with that hairline
If Miles Davis played the bass guitar like an entity.
That is Miles Davis buddy
@@johndoe-vw6ot Forsure played trumpet like an entity
as a cat myself... this song is beautiful
I’m addicted to this sound this shit is hella meow with the wavy
Favorite song off the album by far. God I love this man
This song makes me cry 😢
The drums!!
It reminds of when I was in 6th grade because when this song came out my dad would play it every day when he would take me to school. I wish I could go back to a much simpler time in my life
❤️
that was just tooo good!
i listen to this song when i nap with my cat and try to imagine what it’s like being him
Imagine listening to this song in the car, and then a gang of cats just pull up saying "Meow Meow Meow" during the chorus 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I like your imagination 😄
trippy how the drums are panned right and the vocals left
this sounds like “something about us” by daft punk
Tall Thingy I looked this song up just to see if anyone said the same thing. Said this to my friend and he saw zero resemblance.
@@forincognito22 Lowkey just listened to this for the first time rn and rushed here to see if anyone said thought so too
I think the chords played on the synth keys are identical right down to the inversion
Btw best song off of Discovery
different feel but love both gems
it samples it
Yea same chords, I think he may even use the daft punk song as a sample as the basis of this song.
I love this freaking beat. Meow, Meow, Meow!
좋아
Daft Punk :*)
Thundercat changed my life. I've seen him live and I hope to see him again :D
Dylan Tallchief YES I Heard the similarity too !
Kraft Punk :~)
okay you heard it to. thought I was losing my shit.
Something About Us......I hear it and its bliss
en bucle pa no olvidarte
First time listening to this 😊
Beautifully comedic.
LSD gave this to me, and im super thankful.
Stellar
It’s a cold game.... Tron that is.
If there is ever a live action Thundercats movie this should be the theme song.
With the right transpose and mixing, goes lovely with Alex Cuba’s “Si Peri No”. 👌🏿
God how I love those last 40 seconds
Lights. Blunt And Just Breeze
This song is playing on a UFO radio right now 🔥🔥🔥😂
That is the most beautiful 1 second intro
And those crispy drums come in
I can listen to this guy all day 🙂↕️
This song makes me happy when im sad THX
RIP to my cat Cleo..... thanks for this
LEO 🦁☉❤ August 16th MEOW 🦁
Now that's an album cover if I've ever seen one.
It’s the hiss for me🤣🤣🤣
That 70s stule bass gives me a Cali vibe in the park dmokin with that one girl you really like ❤️
I adore this song 🙌😸😺
My Cornish rex female, Vex, died around Christmas a few years ago
Its cool to be a cat.
Purrrr 😌
love it...
Me and my cats liked this song
Insanely underrated
what if the meaning of the song is freedom?, and wanting to be a stray cat is just a metaphor for being free and doing whatever you want without laws, society or anything that holds you back
Love it.
I lovvvvvvvvveeee this song so much 😆 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
My cat meowed back beautifully
There is a "Yeah" sound effect that kicks in in the middle of the song, that i remeber is in a nas song. Tue last one off his debut album, yea.
The yeah is from Mountain- Long Red woodstock version
