A song from McGonagall's point of view. Beatboxing by Candle Wix. Meows by One-Eyed Jack. Purrs by foster kitten Milly.

lyrics

I teach here at Hogwarts, McGonagall's the name
I can change into a cat, no I ain't playin' games
Catch me in the classroom, see me in the halls
But you won't find me hangin' by my tail up on a wall
Mrs Norris thinks she's special with Argus by her side
But in the end it wasn't me who got petrified
Kitty's got some nerve eyein' me like that
But let me tell you truthfully: I'd rather be a cat
Sleepin' in the sunshine, spooking all the kids
Thinking I ain't in the classroom - they know what they did
Learn transfiguration; that is where it's at
And let me tell you truthfully: I'd rather be a cat
I-I-I-I-I
I-I-I-I-I
I-I-I-I-I

A Galaxy Far, Far Away
by Brian Ross

supported by 5 fans who also own “I'd Rather Be a Cat”

I've never been crazy about Star Wars... but who hasn't seen at least the original trilogy? However, I am ALWAYS a sucker for well-written lyrics, and when I heard Brian perform a couple of these songs at O.W.L. Fest 2021, I knew I had to check out this album, because 'Alderaan Wind' hit me like a sack of bricks. I love fandom music that prompts me to think about canon in a new and insightful way, and this is fandom music at its very best. yourwizardrockresource

This is a wildly uneven, unpredictable collection. And that is as it should be. From spoken word to rap to singer/songwriter acoustic to hard rock, this has at least one song for everyone. John Gaunt
