"Stray Cat Strut" is the eighth track on the Stray Cats' debut album, Stray Cats, released in 1981 in the UK, where it peaked at No. 11. That same year it peaked at No.78 on US Dance/Disco chart, where it was released as an import record. In the US, the song was released in 1982 on Built for Speed.

"Chickery Chick" - Your singers will have fun with this novelty song from the 1940s and develop their vocal jazz chops at the same time! Opening in a happy-go-lucky 6/8, it sounds like an Italian street song full of nonsense lyrics, then it transitions into 4/4 swing with an easy scat section. "Stray Cat Strut" - Your younger and developing groups will dig the rockabilly sounds of Brian Setzer in this pop hit from 1983! Fun jazzy lyrics and well-crafted for success! "The Pink Panther" - From the opening strains, everyone will recognize the quirky, jazzy theme by Henry Mancini! Younger singers will beg to sing this well-crafted arrangement with scat lyrics! "He Beeped When He Shoulda Bopped" - Written by jazz great Dizzy Gillespie, this bebop standard makes a perfect introduction to the world of vocal jazz for younger choirs.

Songlist: Chickery Chick, Stray Cat Strut, The Pink Panther, He Beeped When He Shoulda Bopped
