Let's just open up with the question you all have.
Who the hell is MC Scat Kat?
Good question.
The answer is that they were Bruce DeShazer (also known as Tony Christian) and Marv Gunn, collectively known as the Wild Pair. MC Scat Kat just played their part in the video. Previously members of Mazerati, this was not the Wild Pair's only hit,
The video was inspired by Gene Kelly, who danced with a cartoon mouse named Jerry (yes, that Jerry) in Anchors Aweigh. Clearly, Paula thought Tom deserved some love. Abdul, a choreographer of dance first, choreographed both her moves and those of the cat, which were animated in what was considered to be a ground-breaking video.
The song hit #1 in the US, her fourth from the Forever Your Girl album, making her the fourth artist to have four number 1 hits from the same album (a feat that would be matched four more times).
The song itself is actually clever. You're fooled by the cat, but the lyrics are pretty smart and mature.
