"Year of the Cat?' That is actually one of my fav (non-metal) tunes of all time. It is by Al Stewart, not Cat Stevens. Are we speaking of the same song (Al Stewart did "Time Passages" as well)? If so, best line is "....you go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre contemplating a crime." youtu.be/cqZc7ZQURMs

BTW, best song for me on Cat Stevens is "The year of the Cat" only because I owned no record player in those days and only heard things on the radio. When I got a record player, I discoverd there was a bunch of songs out there I never got a chance to hear. I sure could not rely on my sister for music as she was buying stuff like Bread and Leo Sayer. Ouch.

Uhhh...what? Cat Stevens did the soundtrack. Nothing funny about his songs at all. Best one, IMO? While most would say "Wild World," I say "Peace Train!"

It was Jim Staford? I get his name and Ray Stevens mixed up in my brain as they both did funny songs.
Harold and Maude. I great movie. Death obsessed meats excentric/crazy. My kind of movie.

Yup. You know me. I certainly DO remember "Cow Patty" there, Philo. I also agree, though, that the scenes with the Black Widows stole the show in #2.
Now "Ma" .... quite another story. IMO, while funny, HER best moment came in another movie: the infamous "Harold and Maude." Cat Stevens soundtrack all the way!

GRRAPE APE, GRAPE APE. lol
I just remember that little ditty from a biography thingy or some show like that where they show the movie and give you factoids with it (crap you look for on a Sunday when your bored). It was kinda sad that the second younger aped died at such a young age..............I think that's why I remembered it.
Now, do you remember "Cow Patty" from Any Which Way you Can? HA!! About the only thing funny about number two, except the Black Widows as always.

Ma called him a damn monkey but Clyde is an orangatan, of the great ape family (which I'm sure you know and were only joking). He was really very cool. Clyde did not reprise his role in the second film "Any Which Way you Can" because he had grown too large. His replacement, unfortunately, died of a "stroke" of sorts shortly after the film was made.
