What's New Pussy Cat?
What’s New Pussycat? – A Night of Alternate Realities
Ever wake up with Tom Jones in your head and just go with it? Well, that’s exactly how this mix began—one moment, Tom was crooning, and the next, the Beatles invaded my brain. And then, well… things spiraled gloriously out of control.
Welcome to What’s New Pussycat?, where we dive down the rabbit hole of alternate realities—cover songs, remixes, mashups, and parodies that take your favorite tunes and twist them into something delightfully unexpected. It’s nostalgia with a side of “Wait… what am I listening to?”
with music by
Oingo Boingo
The Church
Wall Of Voodoo
...and more!
It originally aired on Wdrt on June 5th, 2024.

Show Notes & The full playlist: {Links Are Pink!}
SET 1: Beatles, But Make It Weirder
• D.E.F. Orkestra – She Said She Said | A Turkish twist on this Beatles classic, because who doesn’t love a little international psych-rock magic?
• Oingo Boingo – I Am the Walrus | Danny Elfman takes this trippy Beatles tune and turns the weirdness up to eleven. Coo coo ca-choo, indeed.
• William Shatner – Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds | Captain Kirk talks his way through this psychedelic trip, and honestly? It’s everything.
• Guitar Dreamers – Yellow Submarine (Instrumental) | A dreamy, underwater lullaby that proves the Beatles were onto something with that whole “living in a submarine” idea.D.E.F. Orkestra
SET 2: Bowie & The Glam Gods Reimagined
• The Church – All the Young Dudes | The Church gives this Mott the Hoople/Bowie-penned anthem a dreamy, ethereal glow.
• Duran Duran – Fame | Bowie goes synthy! Duran Duran takes this funk-rock jam and turns it into a slick, new-wave groove.
• Car Seat Headrest – Golden Years | Stripped down and indie-fied, this one makes you feel like you’re riding into a neon sunset.
• The Dandy Warhols – Jean Genie | Garage rock swagger meets glam rock attitude.
• Bauhaus – Ziggy Stardust & Telegram Sam | Bauhaus, the kings of goth, take on Bowie and T. Rex with their dark, brooding brilliance.
• The Neanderthal Spongecake – Get It On (Bang a Gong) | 90s alt-rock meets T. Rex in a parallel universe.
• Love Inks – Rock On | A sultry, stripped-down take on this 70s classic.
• The Evolution Control Committee – Spandau Filet | A Spandau Ballet mashup so bizarre, it’s like a musical fever dream.
SET 3: Dub, Funk & Psychedelic Trips
• Prince Fatty & Shniece McMenamin – Black Rabbit (Dub Pistols & Freestylers Remix) | Dub reggae meets Alice in Wonderland. Do we need to say more?
• Youngr – Cosmic Insanity | A cosmic disco-funk explosion that feels like dancing on the moon.
• Ty Segall – Low Rider | Grungy garage rock takes Low Rider out for a very different spin.
• Johnny Hollow – People Are Strange | The Doors, but gothic, orchestral, and downright eerie.
• The Hip Abduction – Riders on the Storm | A tropical, reggae-infused reinvention of this stormy classic.
• Big Mountain – Dream Weaver | The dreamy 70s track, now with a reggae heartbeat.
• Red Hot Chilli Pipers – Low Rider | Because bagpipes make everything better.
SET 4: Tom Jones, Cash, and Pure Madness
• Art of Noise – Kiss (feat. Tom Jones) | Prince’s funky masterpiece gets Tom Jones-ified with 80s electronic goodness.
• The Good Johnsons – What’s New Pussycat? | Because we had to. And no, it’s not the last time we’ll say “Pussycat” tonight.
• Wall of Voodoo – Ring of Fire | Johnny Cash’s classic goes full new-wave weird.
• Johnny Cash – Hurt | The most soul-crushing, gut-wrenching cover ever.
• Steve ‘n’ Seagulls – My Sharona | Bluegrass meets punk energy—banjos have never rocked harder.
• The Fixx – These Boots Are Made for Walkin’ | New wave boots, walking all over you.
• Herman’s Hermits – White Wedding | Billy Idol, but British and unexpectedly adorable.
• Sheryl Crow & Peter Gabriel – Digging In The Dirt | A haunting duet that hits deep.
• Don Ho – Shock the Monkey | Don Ho does Peter Gabriel. Paradise just got really strange.
• Arcade Fire – Games Without Frontiers | More Peter Gabriel, but now with Arcade Fire’s cinematic touch.
• Suzanne Vega – Tom’s Diner | The iconic a cappella melody that’s been remixed into oblivion—but still so good.
• Field Division – Give Me Love (Give Me Peace on Earth) | A stunningly beautiful, ethereal take on George Harrison’s classic.
