I think you just supposed that to be true rather than having found any evidence ~ because it isn't true. pussy (n.2) slang for "female pudenda," by 1879, but probably older; perhaps from Old Norse puss "pocket, pouch" (compare Low German puse "vulva"), or perhaps instead from the cat word (see pussy (n.1)) on the notion of "soft, warm, furry thing;" compare French le chat, which also has a double meaning, feline and genital. Earlier uses are difficult to distinguish from pussy (n.1), e.g.: The word pussie is now used of a woman [Philip Stubbes, "The Anatomie of Abuses," 1583]
@@ShandelarTHANK YOU! As a talented “band fag”, I also performed in h.s. Jazz band (as well private swing bands) & I remember playing “…To HER Face”. We never, not once, referred to it as “…To Her PUSS”! Where’d ‘DAT come from?! 🤔🤟🎶🙂
It's attested in 1879 in that sense, though it wasn't probably used in a vulgar sense much before that because from the 1500s to the early 1800s it was widely used as a term of endearment for a woman. After it began to be used as a term for genitalia, using it to refer to a woman was seen as highly offensive.
The most common word was "cunt", a word that has now been pretty dated for a few decades. It was US English speakers that eventually made "pussy" the most common word for it.

The first thing TH-cam recommended to me this morning. It knows me well. But there's nothing new under the sun, least of all smut. My granddad used to spend the 20s and 30s in dingy central London bars watching "blue comedians". I would say it was a guilty pleasure of his, but to be honest I doubt he felt a shred of anything approaching guilt. He'd have absolutely loved this record, in fact he probably owned it.
Wait, in this recording you mean? I've been trying to identify the pianist in this recording for a while now. Some genius novelty tricks thrown in here!
I love how it looks like they told him to take a serious picture but he knew what record it was for and couldn't help himself from cracking up a little.
There were a lot of really risque songs in the 1920's and early 30's. You wouldn't hear these on the radio or at high society functions but they were especially popular in "speak easys" and underground nightclubs/ gambling joints. Sofie Tucker who ran a famous speak easy in New York was well known for these and had a big recording career with mostly risque songs. Mae West was also known for this type of music , check out her rendition of "Easy Rider". 😉
They were called “Dirty Blues”. There are a lots of famous ones - one of more explicit ones I’d Lucille Brogan’s “Shave ‘Em Dry”. A lot of the recordings have been preserved.
Ruth Brown's 'If I Can't Sell it, I'll Sit on It' remains one of my very favourite examples of this type of double entendre song. A stone cold classic.
As a union musician in the late 50s, once in a while at our monthly gathering there was a old gal from Chicago who would visit. She played the piano in this style and sung songs like these in her gravel voice. Loved it then and love it now. Thanks for the memories.
I have an old friend who used to play the piano bar in Pat O'Brien's down in the French Quarter of New Orleans. She kept people in stitches with bawdy songs. One of her classics was the Woodpecker Song. Here's to you, Babs, wherever you are these days!
This doesn't even begin to highlight the Raunch of the Era. The difference between then and now is that you has to choose to listen, this was NOT on the radio.
I've just been to an open mic night where a 90 year old man played this on Guitar. He did an amazing job, had us all in stitches! I had to google it to see if he was winding us up about it being written in 1931. Apparently not. 😆😇
Well I just found my party piece for the next Ladies Bakery Awards after party. A nice old-timey wholesome song about a guy and a pet cat. It should go down a treat with the organization committee!
My dad would be born 5 years after this song was released. Daddy was a bad boy, so I'm willing to bet he heard this on an oldies station in his youth, lol!
My parents were born in the mid-20’s and when we were kids we would play their old 78’s on our record player. One of the tunes was Shoot the Sherbet to Me Herbert. Even as a kid I thought that was a crazy way to sing about a frozen snack.
@JML6988 My grandmother had some 78's, and they definitely weren't LP's (long play). They were singles, mainly because they spun so quickly the record was done in, well, record time.
I love thinking about how this song was being beamed across radio waves into space in the 1930s. New planets are still hearing this song for the first time right now. This man was speaking a message on behalf of all of humanity.
There were still obscenity laws back then. It was likely never played on the radio. I am just glad that we are all hearing it now for "educational purposes".
Back in the '90's a friend of mine and I were listening to this when in walked her mother who was in her 80's. She rolled her eyes and walked back out the door mumbling: "This is NOT my cup of tea..." :) -Tony Arioli
Gad. Reminds me of a Johnny Carson episode. Zsa Zsa Gabor was sitting next to Johnny, with her cat. She mischievously asked Johnny if he wanted to pet her “pussy”. He quickly blurted out “SURE,! if you’d just get that damn cat off your lap”!

I've been looking for this song for years just because I misheard the name of the singer. When I was 20 (I'm now nearly 58) years old I saw a documentary on tv about Robert Crumb. He was with a friend playing the original record and I misheard him thinking he'd said Perry Royner. Ever since then, until now, I've been searching for a record by Perry Royner
@@n0ts0B9No. Culture isn't relegated into compartmentalized decades. Example disco was NOT a 70s phenom- it went from '76 to '83 when new wave killed it off. Almost as much an '80s phenom as it was '70s.
Yes indeedy! The piano playing was mahhh-velous! Harry Roy had two piano players in his 14 piece orchestra. But the recording techniques in 1931 were still in their infancy and one can only hear a smattering of other instruments in the orchestra. Imagine what it must've been like hearing it live! Bet that kept the kittys purring........
Anyone thinking sexually explicit and thinly-veiled double entendres are new to music is in for a shock. Along with songs like this, 1920s/30s dirty blues, many sea shanties, 19th century folksongs like those in Randolph's Ozark collections, and drinking songs back through the Middle Ages and beyond certainly put Megan The Stallion in perspective.
A lot of led Zeppelin fans don't realize they got The lemon song from an old blues song by Robert Johnson. Squeeze My lemon till the juice runs down my leg was recorded in the late 30s first.
@@alukuhito : The very one. He also hates rock and roll, ironically since his art graced some classic rock albums by artists like Janis Joplin and the Grateful Dead.
My Gran, of our devout Mormon lineage, danced to this song with joy and never knew it suggested anything other than something about a girl and her cat. Of course, radios and record players weren’t very clear in those days so…? All I know is that I will forever possess an image of joyfully oblivious, rollicking Saints that’ll rescue me any time I’m feeling unhappy. 😂 *Surely, though, the older men and boys must’ve had some inkling of its true nature, right ??*
Presumably she didn't but every other member of staff at Grace Brothers did. Surely the point of the joke is Mrs Slocombe has no idea that anyone could misinterpret her completely innocent anecdotes about her cat.
This is priceless! This kind of record and song was quite popular in "the day," but knowledge of them had to get spread via word of mouth. My grandparents had a record or two in this vein.

Can we just appreciate that someone had this recording on some special media to share with future generations. Thank you TH-cam!

My mother was a toddler when this song came out, and she is still alive as I leave this comment in January of 2024.
Ask her.
How precious. It's nice to have parents who can remembered when the world was neat. God Bless You and Mom too.
That’s great I wish you and your mom the very best in 2024.🍻🥂

He's obviously not alive.
So you're mom is about 100??

No, actually, it was about how to win a girl's heart by being nice to her cat. It always worked for me!
My hats off to Barry Hanson AKA Doctor Demento. He is the number one curator of the most extensive library of crazy recorded music.

There were a lot of really risque songs in the 1920's and early 30's. You wouldn't hear these on the radio or at high society functions but they were especially popular in "speak easys" and underground nightclubs/ gambling joints. Sofie Tucker who ran a famous speak easy in New York was well known for these and had a big recording career with mostly risque songs. Mae West was also known for this type of music , check out her rendition of "Easy Rider". 😉
Thank you for giving context to this kind of music, truly another time with its own fun.
They were called the "roaring twenties" for a reason.
They were called “Dirty Blues”. There are a lots of famous ones - one of more explicit ones I’d Lucille Brogan’s “Shave ‘Em Dry”. A lot of the recordings have been preserved.
Yeah, like the Hokum blues or some people call them the dirty blues.
Ruth Brown's 'If I Can't Sell it, I'll Sit on It' remains one of my very favourite examples of this type of double entendre song. A stone cold classic.
As a union musician in the late 50s, once in a while at our monthly gathering there was a old gal from Chicago who would visit. She played the piano in this style and sung songs like these in her gravel voice. Loved it then and love it now. Thanks for the memories.
I have an old friend who used to play the piano bar in Pat O'Brien's down in the French Quarter of New Orleans. She kept people in stitches with bawdy songs. One of her classics was the Woodpecker Song. Here's to you, Babs, wherever you are these days!
Dude that's crusty. I like that

This doesn't even begin to highlight the Raunch of the Era.
The difference between then and now is that you has to choose to listen, this was NOT on the radio.
I've just been to an open mic night where a 90 year old man played this on Guitar. He did an amazing job, had us all in stitches! I had to google it to see if he was winding us up about it being written in 1931. Apparently not. 😆😇
I just went from Pavarotti singing Apple Bottom Jeans to this. God, I love the internet.
😂
A bit of a music=art shock wasn't it?? Pavarotti to flapper era in a matter of minutes.
I came from "My humps" from The Black Eyed Peas.
Well I just found my party piece for the next Ladies Bakery Awards after party. A nice old-timey wholesome song about a guy and a pet cat. It should go down a treat with the organization committee!
I'm sure they would approve. No need to run it by them. Just put it into the playlist!

My dad would be born 5 years after this song was released. Daddy was a bad boy, so I'm willing to bet he heard this on an oldies station in his youth, lol!
My parents were born in the mid-20’s and when we were kids we would play their old 78’s on our record player. One of the tunes was Shoot the Sherbet to Me Herbert. Even as a kid I thought that was a crazy way to sing about a frozen snack.
Never heard a 78LP before,only the 33s & 45s.
😆😆
These risqué songs reminded of Aerosmith's cover of "Big Ten Inch Record"
@JML6988 My grandmother had some 78's, and they definitely weren't LP's (long play). They were singles, mainly because they spun so quickly the record was done in, well, record time.
I'm listening to the wrong music!! 🤣🤣🤣
Wow he got passionate at the end there 😂😂😂
Yeah he did. 🤣
Don’t we all? 🔨👍
VERY passionate by the sound of it (probably saw a pussy in the studio during the recording!!)😉🤣
So did his girl
It was a really good climax.
I love thinking about how this song was being beamed across radio waves into space in the 1930s. New planets are still hearing this song for the first time right now.
This man was speaking a message on behalf of all of humanity.
he wasn’t slick enough it didn’t make radio play but was a popular single
I am from the planet Zepto, we all have this tune on our 8 track players.
@@SuperWing0 Because he was banned by the BBC
There were still obscenity laws back then. It was likely never played on the radio. I am just glad that we are all hearing it now for "educational purposes".
Zorg and Zpetar on planet Xegon will will asking « what is a pussy »?
The excellent piano playing is just a bonus! What a great tune
This song has been around my entire life and now we found each other!
Lifetime no see!
Back in the '90's a friend of mine and I were listening to this when in walked her mother who was in her 80's. She rolled her eyes and walked back out the door mumbling: "This is NOT my cup of tea..." :) -Tony Arioli
😂😂😂
Thanks for the story bro. -Tony Chiccone
lol - tony tommirelli
They dont write them like that anymore
If i ever get married this will be the first song that we dance to as husband and wife
It may be the last one too if the father of the bride hears it. LOL
Are you sure that's wise? lol
I’ve never in my entire life enjoyed a song from that era, until today. Bravo! 2:23
It's wonderful that you found this charming bit of history. Old recordings like this usually fall through the crack.
🤣👍
This is just too perfect. Guy was seriously ahead of his time lmao
he wasn't.
Gad. Reminds me of a Johnny Carson episode. Zsa Zsa Gabor was sitting next to Johnny, with her cat. She mischievously asked Johnny if he wanted to pet her “pussy”. He quickly blurted out “SURE,! if you’d just get that damn cat off your lap”!
This is a long debunked myth. Zsa Zsa Gabor was never on the show because Johnny hated her lol. Only in nightmare on elm street

I've been looking for this song for years just because I misheard the name of the singer. When I was 20 (I'm now nearly 58) years old I saw a documentary on tv about Robert Crumb. He was with a friend playing the original record and I misheard him thinking he'd said Perry Royner. Ever since then, until now, I've been searching for a record by Perry Royner
Robert did a cover in 1978 by R. Crumb & His Cheap Suit Serenaders!
“We didn’t have rap back in my day, we had REAL music.”
At least they are practicing kindness to animals in this song.
It's all real.
@CannabisDreams how dare you think I would say that
@CannabisDreams Obviously you know what he meant. As a saying goes, "Rap" is the only word in English that begins with a silent "C".
And, to your comment, rap isn't music. It is just weaponized noise.
Imagine clappin flapper cheeks to this in the 1930's
Just called the police for that comment
Say goodbye to your freedom sir
The flappers were in the 20's.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@n0ts0B9No. Culture isn't relegated into compartmentalized decades. Example disco was NOT a 70s phenom- it went from '76 to '83 when new wave killed it off. Almost as much an '80s phenom as it was '70s.

He's a true animal lover, what's the big deal? That's some kick ass piano playing.
Yes indeedy! The piano playing was mahhh-velous! Harry Roy had two piano players in his 14 piece orchestra. But the recording techniques in 1931 were still in their infancy and one can only hear a smattering of other instruments in the orchestra. Imagine what it must've been like hearing it live! Bet that kept the kittys purring........
Who's sucking cats every chance they get?
This dude was hardcore af for singing aboutpussy
You can really hear the passion towards the end
😆😆😆
Anyone thinking sexually explicit and thinly-veiled double entendres are new to music is in for a shock. Along with songs like this, 1920s/30s dirty blues, many sea shanties, 19th century folksongs like those in Randolph's Ozark collections, and drinking songs back through the Middle Ages and beyond certainly put Megan The Stallion in perspective.
A lot of led Zeppelin fans don't realize they got The lemon song from an old blues song by Robert Johnson. Squeeze My lemon till the juice runs down my leg was recorded in the late 30s first.

I have a version of this song performed by Robert Crumb. I always assumed it was written by him. What a surprise to find out it's a vintage song!
R Crumb has a huge collection of old 78's, this record is likely in there.

Nothing is new under sun 🌞
Wasn’t Crumb in band called “The Cheap Suit Serenaders” ?
@@alukuhito : The very one. He also hates rock and roll, ironically since his art graced some classic rock albums by artists like Janis Joplin and the Grateful Dead.

At least she probably wasn’t twerking, like kids nowadays.
Also, this sounds like a low grade twerk song in the old days.
@@somerandom7672hahahahaha 😂
My Gran, of our devout Mormon lineage, danced to this song with joy and never knew it suggested anything other than something about a girl and her cat. Of course, radios and record players weren’t very clear in those days so…? All I know is that I will forever possess an image of joyfully oblivious, rollicking Saints that’ll rescue me any time I’m feeling unhappy. 😂 *Surely, though, the older men and boys must’ve had some inkling of its true nature, right ??*
Dude was like 80-90 years ahead of his time😭
Not really. Same era as Cab Calloway who sang all about drugs and hookers.
Song is hilarious. But no, he wasn't.
Mrs. Slocombe must have heard this one as a young girl. 😂
LOL... Love "Are You Being Served"!!
Yes indeed. She was often referring to it, wasn’t she?
Mr. Humphreys, leave my pus*y alone 😂
Presumably she didn't but every other member of staff at Grace Brothers did. Surely the point of the joke is Mrs Slocombe has no idea that anyone could misinterpret her completely innocent anecdotes about her cat.
I was waiting for someone to make that joke. That reminds me…
