Kitty In The Middle
The Presets Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You little cutie, yeah you wanna blow . . . On
I turn around and everything is slow . . . Mo
You look good, and yeah I wanna phone . . . Home
You got me thinking 'bout the kitty in the middle of it
You got me thinking 'bout the kitty in the middle of it
A little sigh, baby had to go . . . "Oh"
And looking good, I had to let you know . . . Oh
I'm just a boy, I had to do it so . . . Oh
You got me thinking 'bout the kitty in the middle of it
You got me thinking 'bout the kitty in the middle of it
The lyrics of The Presets’s “Kitty in the Middle” are open to interpretation. The verses are a collection of seemingly nonsensical phrases, reminiscent of stream of consciousness writing, but the song's title offers a clue as to the theme - a desire for sexual exploration, perhaps even threesome. The lyrics are suggestive with a playful tone, implying a casual approach to sexual experimentation with a partner or partners. The word "kitty" likely refers to a female's genitalia, and "in the middle of it" visually at least, suggests a group tryst. The line "You look good, and yeah I wanna phone home" is particularly attention-grabbing as it appears to nod towards an extra-terrestrial sexual encounter, perhaps suggesting an otherworldly curiosity or experimentation. Overall, the song is a playful, almost whimsical ode to the vicarious thrills of sexual fantasy.

I've got good mail that this song is actually about about why you don't flush unwanted kittens down the toilet.
