| We were contacted at the same time another Eek the Cat
fan site was contacted by a former employee of Eek the Cat and Nelvana.
Jay Willick. Although our staff dropped the ball on this one, and we
didn't get the exclusive as we would have liked, we did get the chance to
talk to him about several of the songs that were played, and the mystery
of some lyrics were finally put to rest. Here's what Jay had to say: |
Dear
Mike and the Eek the Cat Network folk:
Here are the lyrics to Sharkey's Theme (ala 'Shaft') from Fists
of Fury:
Who
is the dog who would chase his tale for another dog?
Sharkey!
Paws On!
Who is the dog who will freak out when he finds Eek's all about?
Sharkey!
Can you dig it?
You say this dog Sharkey is a mean four-legger.
Shut your mouth!
I'm just talkin' about Sharkey.
He's an irritated dog and no one understands him but his owner.
Shark Dog.
Sharkey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here's the lyrics to Eek Out
(ala 'Le Freak'):
Ahhh,
Eek out.
Ahhh, Eek out.
Over there, that purple bear,
His name is Eek,
He'll dance and sing.
Platform shoes and spandex pants,
Dance floor King - he has no chance.
Watch him move, it's really wrong.
Let's save this world and end this song.
Ahhh Eek out.
Ahhh Eek out.
Ahhh Eek out.
"I did both
the solo and all
back-up vocals on Sharkey's Theme and some of the back-up for Eek
Out. The
composer was Nathan Wang. I'm not sure who did the lyrics." (Ed.
Note: Lyrics were written by Savage Steve Holland, Music composed and
performed by Nathan Wang)
