My Girl's Pussy - Harry Roy - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Harry Roy’s 1931 track "My Girl’s Pussy" is a cheeky slice of pre-war British jazz that’s as much a wink as it is a tune. Released by Oriole Records and credited to Harry Roy & His Bat Club Boys, the song was written and performed by Harry Roy himself, a clarinetist and bandleader known for his flair for risqué humor. The lyrics are a masterclass in double entendre, using feline references to slyly allude to more adult themes. Opening with playful meows and a jaunty fox-trot rhythm, the song became an unofficial anthem at London’s Bat Club, where Harry Roy’s band regularly performed. Though it didn’t chart in the traditional sense, "My Girl’s Pussy" has enjoyed a lasting legacy, appearing in films like Babylon (2022) and TV series such as Boardwalk Empire. Its enduring appeal lies in its clever wordplay and the way it captures a more permissive, if coded, era of musical expression. Over the years, it has been covered by artists like R. Crumb & His Cheap Suit Serenaders and Kitten on the Keys, cementing its place in the canon of early 20th-century novelty songs.​
