1. The Cats were a rock band from the Dutch fisherman's town of Volendam that existed from 1966 and 1985. Alongside fellow Volendammers, BZN, The Cats may be regarded as the most important band in the so-called Palingsound ('Eel Sound') genre, as the music of Volendam is often referred to.
Initially founded as The Blue Cats, The Cats had five Dutch #1 singles, one platinum and thirteen gold albums in their home country and were particularly successful in Germany also.
The band consisted of singers and guitarists, Cees Veerman (born 6-10-1943) and Piet Veerman (born 1-3-1943). Jaap Schilder (born 9-1-1943) played guitar and piano, bass player was Arnold Mühren (born 28-1-1944), drummer was Theo Klouwer (born 30-6-1947, died 8-2-2001).
Piet Veerman left the band in the 1980s and had a major Dutch (and German) solo hit with the song Sailing Home.
The band briefly re-united in 2006 to record a single.
2. John Ogetti Kpiaye was born in 1948 in the East End of London to an English mother and Nigerian father. He lived in the countryside from the age of 4 to 12. He attended Phoenix School for asthmatics in Mile End and Daneford Modern in Bethnal Green. He left school at 15 and began working as an apprentice welder. In 1966 his mother bought him his first guitar which he quickly taught himself to play. At that time he was into ska and rock steady as well as soul and he began learning those styles. A year later he quit his job, formed a band called The Hustling Kind (later the name changed to The Cats) and decided to try and make it as a musician. He hasn’t looked back since.
Success was soon to come. In 1968 Kpiaye thought it would be a good idea to do a rock steady/reggae rendition of the classical composition Swan Lake. He worked out a piano melody line on his sister’s piano at home and his band recorded the tune. They made history as the first British reggae group to have a top 50 entry in the UK singles chart. This led to tours in the UK and Europe but by 1971 the group had split up.

The Cats are three Scottish guys who love to play good old-fashioned rock and roll. If it’s not Andy’s rocking vocals or big old bull bass that get you moving, it will be Fraz’s flying fingers on his Gretsch guitar, or Sandy’s pounding drums
We are THE CATS and we are three rockers that love to entertain anyone who dares to stand in our way. The name of the game is Rock n Roll done the old fashioned way (the way your papa told you about). Music is all about one thing and that is ENTERTAINMENT. When we are playing and we get somethin going with our audience there is nothin better and we've had no complaints so far. They just love the Pounding Drums, Flying Guitar, Bull Bass, and Rockin Vocals. We love all our fellow cats and kittens gettin down to our sounds. As Eddie Cochrane would say Cmon Everybody!
4. http://the-cats.com/ : The CATS are an EDM project from Russia, with the symbiosis of the bass styles - Dubstep, Trap, Drum'n'Bass and Progressive. The combined forces of Olga Lucky, DJ TaraZ and Temmy Lee united as a full-on live bass music band. Th3 Cats is based on the contrasts of the band member's musics styles.

There She Goes
The Cats Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't you see she really likes you?
Take your chance and ask her
If she wants to be your girl
People told me that she's only
Foolish, but I know she's lonely
Guess that she can't live without you
Imagine what happens
When she takes another one for you
Don't wait so long
Before it's too late
Why don't you tell her
That you love her?
Don't be so shy
You must do something
Before she flies away
Like a bird in the sky
There she goes, she's smiling at you
Can't you see she really likes you?
Guess that she can't live without you
Another day, another day
The Cats' song "There She Goes" is a heartfelt call to action urging the singer to seize the opportunity and take a chance on love. The lyrics start off by describing a woman who is smiling at the singer and how she truly likes him. The song encourages the singer to step up and ask her out. The next verse offers a response to any potential naysayers who discourage the singer from pursuing the woman, insisting that she is not foolish, but merely lonely without him. The song warns of the consequences of inaction, imploring the singer to imagine what will happen when the woman finds someone else.

She's not being subtle at all. She likes you, and it's blatantly obvious.

If you're interested in her too, you should take the opportunity to ask her out.
If she wants to be your girl
Just be sure to ask her if she wants to be in a relationship with you.

I've heard rumors that have led me to believe that she's not someone to be taken seriously.

Despite the rumors, I believe that she's just looking for someone to connect with and be close to.

She seems to be strongly drawn to you and might not be able to handle the thought of losing you.

This urgency is real, and waiting another day just might make it too late.
Imagine what happens
Think about the consequences of not taking action and ignoring these obvious signs.

If you wait too long, she might move on and connect with someone else instead.
Don't wait so long
The situation is time-sensitive and requires immediate action on your part.
Before it's too late
This chance might not come around again, and it's important to take advantage of it while you can.
Why don't you tell her
If you're interested in her and you want to pursue a relationship with her, why not just tell her directly?
That you love her?
Of course, you might not be at this point yet, but if you are, it's worth telling her how you feel.
Don't be so shy
There's no need to be timid or to hold back if you're genuinely interested in her.
You must do something
This is not a situation where you can afford to do nothing and hope things will work out on their own.
Before she flies away
She might not be around for much longer unless you take action and make a move.
Like a bird in the sky
Just like a bird that can take flight at any moment, she might move on quickly if you don't show her that you're interested.
Another day, another day
This situation is becoming increasingly pressing, and every day that passes without action just makes it more urgent.
