"If You Leave Me, Can I Come Too?" led off Cats & Dogs, the third studio album from Australian band Mental as Anything, going out as its first single in 1981. Martin Plaza wrote it, words and music, and the title alone tells you this is no ordinary breakup song.
It climbed to number 4 on the Kent Music Report back home and took Best Australian Single at the 1981 Countdown Music Awards. Junkee Media later called it a gonzo anti-breakup song, as gaudy as a Jeff Koons sculpture and more cartoon than radio hit, and reckoned that was exactly where its genius lay.
