“My Pal Foot Foot”, arguably the Shaggs' most famous song, is about the band’s lost cat Foot Foot. The song features various essential elements of the Shaggs' sound – out of tune guitars, various vocal lines that lack harmony, and perhaps most notably, a drum solo that the Chicago Tribune described...
My pal's name is Foot Foot (Foot Foot)
He always likes to roam
My pal's name is Foot Foot (Foot Foot)

Knock at his door
People come out and say
Foot Foot don't live here no more
My pal Foot Foot (Foot Foot)

Foot Foot, please answer me
I know where you are
You're behind that tree
Foot Foot, please come to me
Foot Foot, now that you're here
Won't you come home
Foot Foot, promise me this
That you will never again roam
