Propongo crear un hilo para mostrar material gráfico y audiovisual sobre los hepcats o cats. Rogaría que se abstuviera todo el mundo de entrar a polemizar; se trata de compartir materiales culturales que hagan referencia a los cats o hepcats, tanto originales como de la escena actual. Si no va a ser así prefiero que la moderación eche candado desde ya, que ya hemos tenido demasiadas polemicas absurdas.

the original hepcat: Cab Calloway.

a rockabilly hepcat: Carl Perkins

a Hollywood hepcat: Robert Mitchum

50's hepcats

2000's hepcats @ the Rockabilly Rave

Hepcat songs:

HEP CAT
(L. Terry)
LARRY TERRY (TESTA 106, 1961)

Well, I've been working hard all week long
It's Saturday night and I'm goin' home
To get ready to go out tonight
Well, I'm gonna tell my baby to be ready at eight
Tell her to hurry, 'cause I don't like to wait
'Cause I'm a hep cat and I'm steppin' out tonight
Hep cat, hep-hep-hep-cat, hep cat, hep-hep-hep-cat
Hep cat, hep-hep-hep-cat, hep cat, hep-hep-hep-cat
Well, I'm a hep cat and I'm steppin' out tonight

Well, I wanna have some fun, get away from it all
Goin' on the town, gonna have myself a ball
Gonna take my baby to a drive-in show
And we'll be parkin' in the moonlight row
'Cause I'm a hep cat and I'm steppin' out tonight
Hep cat, hep-hep-hep-cat, hep cat, hep-hep-hep-cat
Hep cat, hep-hep-hep-cat, hep cat, hep-hep-hep-cat
'Cause I'm a hep cat and I'm steppin' out tonight

Well, I wanna have some fun, get away from it all
Goin' on the town, gonna have myself a ball
Gonna take my baby to a drive-in show
And we'll be parkin' in the moonlight row
'Cause I'm a hep cat and I'm steppin' out tonight
Hep cat, hep-hep-hep-cat, hep cat, hep-hep-hep-cat
Hep cat, hep-hep-hep-cat, hep cat, hep-hep-hep-cat
'Cause I'm a hep cat and I'm steppin' out tonight

CAT TALK
(Williams)
LEW WILLIAMS (Imperial 5394, 1956)

One - two - three - four
Used to stand on the corner in a big zoot suit
Whistle at the gals, that's how you do it
Well it's different now, just ain't the same now
They holler, man, check that fine brown frame
It's cat talk (cat talk), yeah cat talk (cat talk)
Well it's movin' around a-goin' from town to town
Now music sends 'em, it's real groovy
Their lovin' pit is the drive-in movie
I go fast music, I can't stand it slow
Hep and holler, well go cat go!
It's cat talk (cat talk), yeah cat talk (cat talk)
Well I'm a-tellin' you dad, it's the best we've ever had

They got a-eyes for this, they got a-ears for that

They're a-hep on this and they really dig that

Crazy man crazy, when a cat sings a song

He's out of this world, man, he's real gone

It's cat talk (cat talk), yeah cat talk (cat talk)

Well it's a movin' around, baby, it will get you down

Y a haremos una foto guapa de dos Cats: uno Asturiano-granaino y otro de un Cordobes y hombre de bien .... jajajja

Así sí, espero que este hilo dure mucho.

jejejjejejeje

jajajajaja si los Big Jamboree´s son Hep Cat yo soy torero.

La verdad es que parece que hay una gran oferta cultural al respecto. A lo mejor vendría bien una página especial para esta corriente. Por ejemplohttp://www.hepcats.es Aunque tal vez exista, lo desconozco

Si, que yo sepa, uno de los saxofonistas. aunque no se si sigue con él; pero si estuvo una larga temporada

Ostras, Cesc, eres torero???? jajajajja

¡¡ Ese, Dani, coñe !! ¡ Que no me acordaba del nombre !

THREE COOL CATS

No he conseguido encontrar la letra del 'Loco cat' de Gene Summers, pero si estas otras cosas.

HIPSHAKIN' MAMA
(Russell Sims)
JACKIE LEE COCHRAN

Well I'll meet you at your house, quarter to eight

When we come home it's gonna be mighty late

Hipshakin' mama, she sure can rock, sure can roll

Hip shakin' mama, so good for my soul

Yeah, we'll make every juke-joint down the line

We'll show these cats how to have a good time

Hipshakin' mama, she sure can rock, sure can roll

Hipshakin' mama, so good for my soul

Yeah, we're gonna romp and stomp, jump and shout

Rock this joint ‘till the lights go out

Hipshakin' mama, she sure can rock, sure can roll

Hipshakin' mama, so good for my soul

(Yeah, let's go cats!)

Lee Dresser and the Krazy Kats: Beat out my love.
