A cat has become one of the world’s best-selling musical artists overnight, after secretly recording his owner while she sang about him.
Marmaduke, six, is reported to have been the subject of near constant vocal stimming by Ellie Mulligan, 32. In response, Marmaduke concealed a microphone within his floofy orange trousers, and he is now rich beyond his wildest dreams.
Producer Noah Fields said, “When Marmaduke first found his way into my office and dropped a USB stick at my feet, I was skeptical. But once I listened to the recording, I knew this was a sound that would define the decade.”
“The tracks are a mix of original compositions and covers with the lyrics changed to make them about Marmaduke,” Fields went on to explain. “For example, the theme of TV game show Blankety Blank becomes ‘Sausagey Cat.’”
“It’s pioneering, transformative, imbued with an almost heartbreaking grandeur. Quite simply, music will never be the same again.”
The self-titled album includes two bonus tracks: a duet of Mulligan and Marmaduke covering Wuthering Heights by Kate Bush, and Marmaduke’s serenade to birds outside his window, entitled Violent Fantasies.
