With its monstrous slap lick and stuttering scat-style vocals Tommy the Cat is a perennial favorite in the Primus back catalog.

Claypool said “I had that riff in my head for a long time and would bounce it off different drummers, then I had that vocal line ‘Hey baby do you wanna lay down with me’ and I just kept trying to force them together. Eventually, I made it work. It was a nightmare, but once you’ve got it, it’s like riding a bike – you never forget how to do it.”
