Today's Journey in Wikipedia: MC Skat Kat

New feature I'm going to do here.  A day's journey through wikipedia can take you to some crazy places and leave you with some real (useless?) knowledge.  Today's inspiration was hearing Paula Abdul's Opposites Attract at the gym.  Got me thinking, What was up w/MC Skat Kat?

Well here are some interesting tidbits:

The idea of Skat Kat came from the Gene Kelly movie Anchors Aweigh, in which Kelly's character dances with Jerry, the mouse from the Tom and Jerry cartoon series. He was animated by members of the Disney animation team, working outside the studio between major projects, under the direction of Chris Bailey.

The character released an album entitled The Adventures of MC Skat Kat and the Stray Mob in 1991, but the release of the album flopped quickly after being issued in that same year. 

--I need this album and I needed it yesterday.

According to the press kit from Virgin Records' media information, Skat Kat is a "street philosopher with an alley Kat point of view." He enjoys rapping and dancing, has "got an eye for the ladies," and "remains on the smooth tip with an old school rap influence which adds the street to his new school hip hop."

--I mean what more could you ask for? Dude's got an eye for the ladies (respect), but is careful to remain on the smooth tip while adding the street to his new school hip hop? Absolute stud.  I believe the stool talked about what animated characters they would put in their crew once--well MC Skat Kat was a BAD omission.
