-Dennis Palkow, Chicago Tribune.

Kat is one of the most accomplished singers / songwriters today. Elating audiences with her beautiful blend of sweet melodies and gentle honesty, Kat's music is universally appreciated by young and old, alike. Kat has four CD's released, three of which are available from Waterbug Music, one from Redwing Music. Additionally, she is one of the lead singers of The Otters, and has made a CD with Kate MacLeod.
Kat Eggleston's songs touch a wide range of life's experiences with unusual clarity and authority. On Second Nature we're in for honest lyrics honestly sung. In a clear alto with flawless intonation, Kat Eggleston goes straight to the lyrical and emotional truth of every word and every note. Her musings on home, childhood, and her father's garden are gems of direct, unassuming plainspokenness. "Fury" and "The Stranger" - the first a narration of domestic violence, the second a surprising, slightly oblique tale of an abortion told to a friend - push hard at our senses and then demand we return again to pick up the pieces we dropped on first hearing, pieces that fill in another and another of the gaps in our comprehension of these difficult and personal experiences.
Shit
Kat Eggleston Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But just a simple band who roams about the land,
Dispensing plentyof frivolity.
Mere folks who give distraction are we, yes, and give attraction are we, oh shut up, man
But just a crazy group, that never seeks to sosoup,
Around a pack of little on a leash.
Well,. here we go, back to the home country again.
We open in Venice, we next play Verona, then on to Cremona,
And Mantua and Padua, and then we open again. where?
We open in Venice, we next play Verona, then on to Cremona,
Lots of bars in Cremona, our next jump is Parma, that tearless fearless menace,
And Mantua, and Padua, then we open again. Where?
We open in Venice, we next play Verona, then on to Cremona,
Lots of money in Cremona, our next jump in Parma, that's ingie pingie menace,
Then Mantua, then Padua, and then we open again, where?
We open in Venice, we next play Verona, then on to Cremona,
Lots of players in Cremona, our next jump in Parma, that heartless artless menace,
Then Mantua, then Padua, the we open again. Where?
Oh, let me see now, I got a map, let's pick out someplace.
Well just don't dicado back on the line now, oh let's take the first canyon out of here.
As a matter fact if we hurry we can beat the sack, for the chef's out there waiting for us.
Goodbye boys, gida, gida, gida.
The song "Shit" by Kat Eggleston is a humorous tune about a group of traveling performers, who are not famous like L.B. Mayer's stars, but just a simple band that roams around the land to entertain people. The lyrics describe the group as a "crazy group," who never seeks to be super serious and performs around a pack of little dogs on a leash. The song has a repetitive structure, with the group discussing their upcoming performances in various cities such as Venice, Verona, Cremona, Parma, Mantua, and Padua.
The song appears to be a parody of old vaudeville-style musical acts, with humorous lyrics and a carefree attitude towards their performances. The use of repetition in the lyrics, particularly the chorus, emphasizes the cyclical nature of their performances and their carefree lifestyle. The mention of the little dogs on a leash adds a touch of absurdity to the song, further highlighting the group's playful and unconventional nature.
Overall, the song "Shit" is a light-hearted and comedic tune that celebrates the simple joys of life on the road as a traveling performer.
