Saturday Morning's Greatest Hits: My Girlfriend's A Witch (1969)

Here's a real corker, courtesy of The Cattanooga Cats.

"My Girlfriend is a Witch" is a cover of a 1-off from a year earlier by The October Country. The track was written & produced originally by Michael Lloyd, who would be the singing voice for Country of the Cattanooga Cats.

"Witch", as a result, sounds much different than the rest of the Cats' tracks.

Fast fact: Lloyd was also the vocalist on the theme to the Kroffts' Lost Saucer six years later. He co-wrote the track with Tommy Oliver (later of Name That Tune & Face The Music).

Not bad; surprised Hanna-Barbera(or Warner Brothers) never thought to reuse this for a Scooby Doo episode or movie...

Personally, it would have been a good song to use if there had ever been an episode/movie where Shaggy has a girlfriend, who turns out to be a witch...
