This version of Cool Cat comes from the US Hot Space vinyl test pressing from April 5th, 1982 and was pulled by Bowie as he deemed he was un-satisfied with it". The original version is very similar to the final album release. The performance is mostly the same and it features David Bowie doing some backing vocals. Bowie's vocals actually add a weird "haunting" element to the track. Written by: John Deacon and Freddie Mercury Produced by: Queen and Mack Musicians: Freddie Mercury - lead and backing vocals, electric piano, synthesizer David Bowie - lead & backing vocals John Deacon - bass & rhythm guitars, synthesizer, drum machine ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lyrics: Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum (Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum) oooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, ah (Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum) you're taking all the sunshine away (Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum) making out like you're the mainline - I knew that Cos you're a cool cat Tapping on the toe with a new hat Ooh, just cruising, driving along with the swing king Feeling the beat of my heart, ah-ah Feeling the beat of my heart Ooh, you're a cool cat Coming on strong with all the chit-chat Ooh, you're alright Hanging out and stealing all the limelight Messing with the beat of my heart Ooh, messing with the beat of my heart, yeah Up town beat, never seen a real life till you came into my life, came into my life (oooh) You used to be a mean kid (mean kid) Ooh, making such a deal of life I used to know that (I used to know that) Ooh, you were wishing and hoping and waiting to really hit the big time But did it happen, happen, no You're speeding too fast Slow down, slow down You'd better slow down Slow down Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum (Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum) ah you really know how to set the mood (Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum) and you really get inside the groove, yeah Cool cat Tapping on the toe with a new hat Oooh, just cruising Driving along like the swing king Feeling the beat of my heart Feeling the beat of my heart, yeah, yeah Feeling the beat of my heart, can you feel it Feeling the beat of my heart, yeah, yeah Feeling the beat of my heart (Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum) oooh, ooooh, feeling (Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum) feeling, feeling, feeling (Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum) ooh, you're messing around, messing around (Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum) oooh-ooh, oooh-ooh, oooh-ooh, oooh-ooh-ooh-ooooooh
