Phenomenal Cat
"Phenomenal Cat" is a song by the British rock band The Kinks, appearing on their album ''The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society''. It was written by Ray Davies.
==Lyrics and music==
Like Pink Floyd's "The Gnome", the lyrics of "Phenomenal Cat" are similar to a nursery rhyme. The song tells the story of a "phenomenal cat" who lived "in the land of idiot boys." He "just lived to eat 'cause it kept him fat" which was "how he wanted to stay." The phenomenal cat then went on to look back at his travels in the past, "point() out on the map all the places he had been," among them "Kathmandu, the Scilly Isles and Sahara." However, when he journeyed to Hong Kong, he learned the meaning of life, which then convinced him to stop his diet and relax in his tree.
Sung by Ray Davies, "Phenomenal Cat" features flute simulated by mellotron, as well as the sped-up voice of Dave Davies, which was made to represent the cat himself.〔 The song is often referred to as the most psychedelic song that The Kinks (who have always disliked the drug culture) have recorded, for both its bizarre instrumentation and strange lyrics. In 2002, Ray Davies told ''The Onion'' that "Maybe ''Village Green Preservation Society'' was my psychedelic album. I withdrew into my little community-spirit ... my trivial world of little corner shops and English black-and-white movies. Maybe that's my form of psychedelia."〔
