Fair use rationale for Image:BeggarsBanquetLP.jpg

Image:BeggarsBanquetLP.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 02:11, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Question: at the mark 4:30 there's a series of chords that sounds very much like FatBoy Slim's "Praise You". Can you confirm? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cthwaites (talk • contribs) 19:49, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Does "cat" refer to a young man rather than a young girl?

A year or two before Stray Cat Blues was recorded, The Beatles released a song called "Three Cool Cats", where "cat" referred to a young man. Later in the song, "three cool chics" are introduced. The lyrics of "Stray Cat Blues" don't offer enough clues to define the gender of the "stray cat". Near the end of the song, when the "stray cat" is invited to bring a female friend over, this could be a overture for a bisexual orgy.

The Velvet Underground, whose song "Heroin" supposedly inspired "Stray Cat Blues", wrote lyrics about homosexual, as well as heterosexual, encounters. The Underground's "Sister Ray", for example, depicts a drug-fueled bisexual orgy that gets out of hand. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.61.20.77 (talk) 19:49, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
