Where is Skat Kat now?
Nov. 25th, 2006 02:28 amRemember MC Skat Kat?
Okay, some of you are a too young for that. Back in the pre-pre-pre-American Idol days, Paula Abdul did a video for a song on her first album called Opposites Attract. Which involved a back and forth between herself and a rapper calling himself MC Skat Kat. And when the video showed up on MTV (Yes, once upon a time MTV showed music videos. Really. No I'm not making that up. Honest! Sheesh, go check wikipedia already!) the co-star of the video was an animated cat.
I didn't realize it at the time, but it seems MC Skat Kat made an attempt to go solo, which included at least one video for a song titled Kat Strut that had the same animated cat and company (sans Paula). Unfortunately for Skat Kat's career as a rapper it didn't sell well enough to lead to any further albums. However, the voice behind Skat Kat, Derrick Stevens, is still involved in the world of music. It seems that a about a year and a half ago he became production manager for 89.3 The Current, a public radio station in Minnesota. And this is not yet another NPR Classical Music station (although I do like our local NPR classics station), just check out 89.3's list of songs of the day.
Nifty.
Now, to mangle Adrian Ramos's closing line. I'm going to bed! (Yikes, without Firefox's inline spell checker, this would be filled with sleep deprivation induced spelling errors.)
