May-ow: Cat Stevens with Yusong Liu

"May-ow: Cat Stevens with Yusong Liu" is an episode of the premium-content podcast, *Doughboys Double*, hosted by Mike Mitchell and Nick Wiger. "May-ow: Cat Stevens with Yusong Liu" was released on May 21, 2019.

## Synopsis

As May-Ow continues on, we're joined by our producer Yusong Liu to open packages from the *Doughboys* PO Box, to listen to some tracks from Cat Stevens, and to sing some *Doughboys*-inspired parodies from *Cats The Musical*.

## Packages

Instead of doing a run through the Feedbag, answering listener questions, then Doughboys in this episode check out what packages they've received in the mail from people.

They receive:

* a DVD of *Escape At Dannemora*
* *By The Sackful*, a White Castle recipe book
* Brian L., who had apparently earlier sent them toilet paper, sent them a six-pack of dental floss.
* Madeline mailed a box of snacks from Japan, hoping they could snack or wack them. (They say they will another time.)
* Finally, Michael M sent them a tote bag with Toomgis on it that he got from ampm, and asked a question:

## May-ow: Cat Music 😺🎼

For **May-ow**, Mitch, as a big fan of Cat Stevens, plays a bunch of snippets of Stevens' songs, starting with the amazing album *Tea For The Tillerman*: "Where Do The Children Play?", "Wild World," "Father & Son," and "Tea For The Tillerman".

He also plays "Time" and "Fill My Eyes" from Stevens' album *Mona Bone Jakon*. Next, he drops "Rubylove," "Morning Has Broken," "Peace Train," and "The Wind" from *Teaser and the Firecat*.

Nick then plays the theme from first season of the *Garfield & Friends* cartoon TV show. Nick says it reminds him of "Year of the Cat" by Al Stewart, so Mitch plays that as well.

## *Doughcats: The Musical*

Next, for May-ow, Yusong, who is a talented musician, has adapted songs from *Cats: The Musical* to be *Doughboys*-themed and performs them live!

First, Yusong converts "Gus: The Theatre Cat" into "Mitch: The Quincy Cat": "*In Boston he'll go to Pizzeria Regina, where one day he'll marry / his lovely bride Irma*".

Next up, Yusong changes "Macavity: The Mystery Cat" into "Nick Wiger: The Mystery Cat": "*Nick Wiger is a mystery cat / he's programmed like a bot / He likes to drive in silence / and he likes his salads hot.*"

Lastly, he closes with "Rumblies" about the show in general (an adaption of "Memory"): "*I can't believe cats is the theme of Doubles this month / we're out of ideas / so it seems.*"

## Quotes

**Mitch**: What the fuck!? You're the first person to rip ass on my new couch. You sick fuck. I laid my head there in your shit particles.
