McRae. Compare these arrangements with later Kats audio to hear McRae's

Writing in the Herald Examiner, Ken
Tucker summed up what The Kats are all about when he said, "The Kats are
the rock and roll equivalent of a prime Loony Tunes cartoon, one of those
trash delights in which a character is flattened by an anvil one second
but immediately revives to make mischief...The cartoon star of the Kats is
lead singer-songwriter Freddy Moore, a runty fireball who looks like Frank
Gorshin after being hit on the head – by an anvil,
undoubtedly."
