Both songs are somewhat weird, such different than the other King Crimson´s production, but surely excellently played, as usual by them. Which is your favourite?

Cat Food is the best thing the band did in 1970.
Happy Family is from Lizard and is about the beatles |

I love Happy family and Lizard, I never liked Cat food that much.

"Cat Food" is the best song on "In the Wake of Poseidon", and I mean it. The piano playing alone is fantastic. "Happy Family" is another song with the wild piano of Keith Tippett. I like both, but will give my vote to "Cat Food".
I love to dance to "Cat Food", by the way. Edited by BaldFriede - October 26 2010 at 19:04 |

^What Friede said, both songs are all about Tippett's fun jazzy piano. I love Lizard, but Cat Food is slightly more enjoyable for me than Happy Family.

I can just about toss a coin on these. Not that I don't like them. Hey let's do that and see if my psychic powers cause the coin to make the right decision. Well my psychic powers aren't doing much. I was thinking of going for Happy Family.

Cat Food easily. Not my favourite Crimson song at all, but I find it much more enjoyable than Happy Family. And the live version on The Great Deceiver is really great too (though, alas, ofcourse it doesn't have the great piano).

I just listened to both songs again. I had completely forgotten how very danceable "Happy Family" is. It will definitely run on our next party.

Happy Family wins easily for me. Not too sure about Sinfield's lyric for Cat Food, although granted it's a fun song. But "I tell you that it's cat food, not even fit for a horse"? So you'd feed it to your cat but not your horse? Pete must not be a cat lover.

I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

One hand clap. Four went out but none came back.

"Cat Food" is of course a song about human food, or more specifically about instant meals. So both "cat food" and "not even firt for a horse" are derogatory expressions for it. |
