For years, scientists have long wondered, can you make grown men and women weep tears of joy by playing Tom Jones’ “It’s Not Unusual”, and the answer isyes, you can,so long as it is preceded byseven“What’s New Pussycat”'s.
As a teenager / young adult, I had never heard (or at least registered) this song. In that timeframe, I once visited my older sister and her husband, who at the time had a pretty large collection of cats.
At one point, I stepped away from the group and, on my return, encountered one of these cats just hanging out around the corner from the gathering area. I said to it “what’s up, pussycat?” just to acknowledge it. Immediately everyone in the main room, from which they could overhear me, responded “whooooa-oh-oh-oh!”
Without the context of knowing that song, it was very confusing and almost alarming.

Exactly what I was going to post. Classic John Mulaney.
Then lose their mind when it is followed by more repeats of “What’s New Pussycat”.
This is the way.

Brilliant.
