   Now that I’ve watched one of the other vignettes, I think: Mmmmnh, third-generation John Waters (early period) combined with . . . mmmnh . . . . Somebody else’s turn.

   We love you, keyboard cat!

   I watched far too many of these far too rapidly all in a row, and now I’m laughing and coughing, fixing to drop onto all fours, barking and dry-heaving.

   Cue: keyboard cat.

   “Gorgyles! Sidekicks!” (tr. Gargoyles, psychics). We were actually regular viewers of this show (Wife Swap?) a few years ago, and then this episode aired and took it to a whole new level.

   I got to thinking about keyboard cat. Keyboard cat is subtle. Keyboard cat performs a function similar to that of the fellow offstage with the hook or of the gong-banger on “The Gong Show”, but keyboard cat, in his or her own limited, stiff-limbed and graceless way, might also be a feline relative of “Gong Show” regular Gene Gene, the Dancing Machine. When the regularly scheduled programming has become too much to bear and you feel you may explode — dance! Or play that keyboard! Anything!

   Or maybe keyboard cat’s act is a sort of entr’acte. That is how I always thought of Gene Gene.

   Keyboard cat calls for further reflection.

   I love this. Keyboard kitty knows how to deal with some shit.

   You know, I would watch the news if between every segment they had the Keyboard Cat play.

   Terry Jones. Naked organist. Monty Python.

   I’ve been really busy today and just now got the chance to watch this. It’s killing me. Channel 4 guy is my favorite, I think, but the full oeuvre is impressive.

   We need to come up with a clusterflock video to send in. We’d be great played off by Keyboard Cat.

    I want Keyboard Cat to play me off at the moment of my death.

11. Cindy Scroggins on May 6th, 2009 at 3:51 pm

    Oh, me too! Let’s all do it that way!

    DrTee just alerted me to a new Keyboard Cat offering — from “Walker, Texas Ranger”. It’s something, you bet. Play ‘em off!

13. Lucy on May 8th, 2009 at 5:49 pm

    Thank God for Keyboard Kat.

14. Sheila Ryan on May 8th, 2009 at 5:53 pm

    I’m itching to reveal what pushes Keyboard Cat to play ‘em off, but I’ll hold my tongue.

15. Sheila Ryan on May 8th, 2009 at 7:18 pm

    Art is Eternal. DrTee tells me that Keyboard Cat, the actual cat, died ages ago, and yet — well, it’s a Grecian urn kind of thing, you know.

    Wil Wheaton, of Star Trek fame, references the keyboard cat.

    And the ringtone.
