“Cat House” by Danielle Dax
Released 1987
“Cat House” by Danielle Dax appears on 1 radio countdown from 1 station in 1988. It was first released in 1987. Its best result is #80 on the KROQ Top 106.7 Songs of 1988. In the combined RockLists rankings it is the #223 alternative song of 1988.
Danielle Dax wrote and recorded "Cat-House" herself, and the song has lived two lives. The first version turned up on The Chemical Wedding, a 1987 compilation released only in Japan, and it has never resurfaced anywhere else. In 1988 she cut the song again and put it out in Britain as a standalone single on Awesome Records, and that remake found a home on Dark Adapted Eye.
The seven-inch paired it with "House-Cat", an instrumental that simply flips the title around, while the 12-inch added "Touch Piggy's Eyes", another Chemical Wedding song given a 1988 overhaul. The single made the Top 10 on Britain's indie chart, and across the Atlantic it showed up on the American Modern Rock and Dance charts.
