Murder Mittens Lyrics
One hot night in mid-July
A feral cat let out a cry
Succumbed to death while giving birth
A demon spawned upon the earth
This tiny creature full of rage
Equipped with claws like razor blades
No soul, no conscience, no remorse
An ungrateful hateful fluffy force
One unexpected night he came
I saw him but knew not his name
As if possessed he scratched my door
Torrential rain began to pour
Left with no choice I let him in
Then heard the voice of Anne Boleyn:
"Best be sure and keep him fed
Or else you just might lose your head."
Murder mittens
Small but vicious
Murder mittens
Grown men cry
Next thing I know he's underfoot
One false step, my goose is cooked
He glares at me with wild eyes
Calculating my demise
So carefully I grab the nip
Pinch some with my fingertip
It's too late now to call the priest
This demon's screamin' for his treat
He's now unhinged, he's lost the plot
Leaping up he starts to swat
Instinctively I stumble back
Trying to dodge his attack
When suddenly it all goes dark
Those tiny claws have found their mark
I wonder as they pierce my skin
Why did I ever let him in?
Murder mittens
Small but vicious
Murder mittens
Grown men cry
Murder mittens
Worst intentions
Murder mittens
Grown men die
Murder mittens
Born to slay
Murder mittens
Here to stay
Do not be fooled by his elaborate ruse
Cause he will take ya for everything you're worth
Then send you off to meet your maker
This tiny creature full of rage
Equipped with claws like razors
Will take you now to your appointment
With the undertaker
About This Song
"Murder Mittens" by Dusty Douglas is an example of comedy rock or novelty rock, where the composer describes his pet cat with humor. The song is written in a horror style where the singer talks about the evil deeds of the cat. In the song, the composer describes his pet not as a nice and adorable animal but as a little demon that can make its owner's life terrible. The words related to the concept of a curse, a demon and attacking are used intentionally with the aim to show the contrast of the small size of the animal and its deeds that cause chaos in the house. "Mitten Murder" is a funny name for a cat's paw that has a lot of sharp claws.
Despite the fact that the song is full of the dark atmosphere, the author of it wants to make fun of the cat and the experience when people get scratches, tripped over, and attacked by them. All the descriptions of the cat's actions when it plans the attack on its owner can be described as a funny parody of a horror movie.
