Lyrics:
The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat
If you offer me pheasant, I'd rather have grouse
If you put me in a house, I would much prefer a flat
If you put me in a flat, then I'd rather have a house
If you set me on a mouse, then I only want a rat
If you set me on a rat, then I'd rather chase a mouse

About:
Based on T. S. Eliot’s Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats, the show is set amongst a larger- than-life junkyard playground and is alive with our favourite feline characters including Rum Tum Tugger, Mr. Mistoffelees, Macavity, Jennyanydots, Old Deuteronomy, Grizabella and Skimbleshanks.
The Jellicle Cats come out to play on one special night of the year - the night of the Jellicle Ball. One by one they tell their stories for the amusement of Old Deuteronomy, their wise and benevolent leader, who must choose one of the Cats to ascend to The Heaviside Layer and be reborn into a whole new Jellicle life. - Hudba
The Performance: hip thrusts and general horniness
The Lyrics: lmao sometimes I get stuck in drawers and I scream until someone opens it
im fucking choking-
This is too accurate
Someone call the cops bc you just killed me.
Rum Tum Tugger is just the cat that falls off the table and pretends like he meant to do that.
This coment needs more likes 😂😂😂
mr mistofelees in his song: “the rum tum tugger is a terrible bore”
rum tum tugger: **has a whole song about how great mr mistofelees is**
Mistofolees is bored of his bf flirting with the others he's like 'alright honey, we get it, you da man, give it up already 🙄' 😂😂😂😂😂
Well Technically it's Quaxo that Sings The Rum Tum Tugger is a Terrible Bore, but Quaxo is Mr. Mistoffelees Second Name, so Their Technically 1 and the Same, The Mentor of Little Joe. And the Tugger does sing the Entire Mistoffelees Number, with the exception of a Few Productions.
@WildKamots, Well I know that Munk, Macavity, and The Tugger Are Siblings, but if You Want To Make Misto, apart of the Family, Then Does That Make Macavity My Uncle, Great He's Just Like The Human Uncle that was Around, When I did CATS, BTW, which of the Following 4 JELLICLES were Gender Swapped, Like Old Deuteronomy in CATS 2019.

Wow...you know a LOT about cats. Like...a lot...😶
@@manifestgtr, I Should I've Only Been Studying the Jellicle Tribe since 1984, and was in a Production in 1987. Back then We didn't have the Luxury of Watching it On video, We had to Call A.L.W, to get Permission to do it, and He was in Correspondence with Ms. Guynema Lowe, for 9 Months, Lots of Hard Work but very fun.
Someone: you can't make audience understand what character is about in just one second
Rum Tum Tugger: *m e o w*
Honestly that first meow just let me know what kind of character The Rum Tum Tugger was gonna be lmao
okay you win the comment section, this is hilarious lmao
M e o w in a different font yk
@@neonpinkqueen1403 that's on purpose
Its the 2nd meow that really does it
This song is absolutely hilarious because when you're watching it it's like ooh sexy bad boy rockstar cat... And then you listen to the lyrics and he's just like "YEAH IM SO COOL 😎 I GET STUCK IN DRAWERS SOMETIMES... BADASS"
for reals tho
Is Abouwaowaowaoooo~
Well, there is a song about a train engine that is boasting about the fact that he is electric. As it was sung by the same actor who plays Tugger, you can imagine what the tone is like. I repeat, it is about a locomotive. Granted, the lyrics are more steamy in that one.
@@user-qj9en1kp1m "steamy"...... is that a train pun
@@user-qj9en1kp1m what song is it?
Mr. Mistoffeleese: "the rum tum tugger is a terrible bore"
Rum tum tugger: *step on me*
The one who said he was a bore is called Quaxo tho it's believed that they are the same.
@@crystalgamerz6943 to be fair, in the UK productions they are the same characters, I think they are the only young adult tuxedo/black cats so it would make sense.
Then he continues to only praise mistoffelees later in the show lol
This is why people made the
Deeply wrong and what should not be real
Rum tum tugger x mr.misstofilies
Im sorry may i draw your attention to Misto in the background at 3:38? What is that face
Rum Tum Tugger is totally that cat who will sit on your keyboard while you're typing and push things off shelves and tables for fun.
He he he
No question about it
Don't they all ?
"Oh hey - I see you're busy. Would be a shame if someone sat on your keyboard" ... *rolls around on keyboard meowing*
heck yeah he would be lol
honestly its really funny to me how this whole number is built around him being, like, a Cat Sex God, while the lyrics are basically just... describing what every cat acts like when they want to annoy you skdnskdn
“I get stuck in drawers sometimes!” followed by the world’s most enthusiastic hip thrusting is what did it for me 😂 But hey, if getting stuck in drawers is what the ladies and gents find attractive in the world of Cats, who am I to judge?
I've noticed more and more that this is true of basically *all* the cats songs
@@Taytyaaytyat apparently that's the "joke" of cats. The songs are made out to seem like they're these grandiose characters but, they're just cats. Because this is exactly how a cat WOULD see itself
@@sabbathjackal big brain-
It's more about the attitude and confidence.
“I’m always in the wrong side of every door” is by far the truest statement about a cat
🤣🤣🤣💀
“The Cats movie was weirdly sexual”
Allow me to show you the source material.
They did the story so dirty in the worst way
@@TinZzzzE did you see sideways video about it? its a lot of fun watching him tearing into it :)
@@CrowLady0_0 lmao thats why im here
@@CrowLady0_0 seeing him scream about all the horrible things they did to the movie was definitely one good way to start 2021
@@CrowLady0_0 that was the best youtube video I've ever seen and it made mr fall in love with this musical
Rum Tum Tugger: Arrogant Playboy
Also Rum Tum Tugger: Excitable boy who just want to play bagpipes and is the absolute best hype man
He's so presious X3 i love the musical version of him
He shows a lot of respect however for old Deuts and for his (theory) Brother, Munkustrap. He's all fun and games until he needs to be serious ;)
Funfact: Mistoffelees was supposed to catch the ball and throw it back at Tugger. That's why Misto looks so confused. He didn't catch the ball
Youre right XD he actually try to catch it and went all O.o when it bounce off lol
Yeah, Jacob Brent said that they did about 30 takes, and he caught the ball in all but one take, and for some reason THAT was the take they used, lol. - Maybe the editor found it funny or something!
@@GilesArt I mean, they did end up adding a breaking glass sound effect, so ig they did find it funny 😂
Oh, that makes so much sense! I swear this is the only part of this song I'd never understood, like, what on earth is the ball kicking about, is that a flex or something? 😄
@@GilesArt I honestly find this one better, because cats break stuff and it fits with the lovable menace of a cat that is Rum Tum Tugger! 😂
A dude pretending to be a cat shouldn't be exuding so much charm like this-
Right?!?!?
THUS
Imagine this: instead of those "meow"'s in the beginning you sit in a movie theatre and a distinctive "jAsOn DeRuLoO~" catches your ears.
JESUS NO.
plantpals 😂 😂 This is such an entertaining train wreck 😂.
plantpals SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY
I CHOCKED ON MY CHOCOLATE READING THIS 🤣🤣
Hating Mylife mood
I'm getting "sexually ambiguous 70s rockstar" vibes
At this point i think that’s intentional
Very David Bowie in Labyrinth.
I'm getting Prince vibes.
It’s totally intentional lol
Yes David Bowie vibes!!
He really put his whole rum tum tugussy into this performance
Not the rum tum tugussy😭😭
Phone away now 😂

cats movie: cockroaches not tapping in time with the music
cats musical: manages to kick a ball in time with the music
okay but misto didn't even catch the ball lmao- you can hear doing breaking in the background after that
@@GreenFanBoy Yeah but it was timed with the music all the same, negus
@@GreenFanBoy its a stage show accidents happen but in a film they can fix all of that that's why the film is ridiculous
@@GreenFanBoy Him catching it is also played off as funny and seems to be very much in line with the humor in the show. It's not nearly as blatantly off as tap dancers not tapping in time with the music they're dancing to.
while this is awesome, we *have* to mention mungojerrie and rumpleteazer dropping their bags just in time for them to hit the ground with the music in their own song
Someone had to have been hit in the face with his crotch during rehearsal. I refuse to believe otherwise.
You just made spit out my soda!
Cristobal Garces 😂😂😂
...Well now I can't unsee it..
And probably in the backstage/dressing room too
@@shitmultiverse1404 fuck yeah
the Rum Tum Tugger makes me want to clear my search history
Hahaha
STOPPPP😭😭😭
FOR REAL THO
Rum Tum Tugger is the type of cat that doesn’t eat his food unless you shake the bowl slightly.
rum tum tugger: *is a cool cat that doesn't let anything bother him
also rum tum tugger: *GET ME OUT OF THIS DRAWR OMG SOMEONE HELP ME*
Also also Rum Tum Tugger: "I meant to be in there, feed me."
LOL because he sometimes underestimates what he plans to do to get attention from his cat parents and he's like "oh no! what?! i didn't plan a contingency plan for this!"😰
Friend: So what was your sexual awakening?
Me: I...I don’t want to talk about it...
PFFT- tbf same lmaoo
fun but why would your friend ask that lmao
weeeeeell.... I'm not saying it WAS this, but... you know...
PLS THIS CONFIRMED IM BI
SAMEEE
watch them start this with “JAson derUuUlO” in the movie lmao
all i’m hoping for is the grinding you know
Dolphins Jamaa OMG PLEASE
Jason DeMewlo.
Guaranteed moonwalk in. Taking bets now.
I came here to make this joke and you beat me to it 😂😂
*surrounded by many attractive females*
rum tum tugger: no i’ll take the one that called me a bore
Yeah that's like what the entire song is about
Tugger literally says "I only like what I find for myself"
He called him a bore because he kicked a ball and almost hit him. lol He was being a bit cheeky. But notice, Tugger was singing his praises later in the movie.
Somehow im not suprised lmao those types of characters always be like that
Me: But that cat's a boy!
Rum Tum Tugger: Did I stutter?
everyone: having a blast
munk and skimble in the backround: **ewan mcgregor's voice** so uncivilized
Whenever Munk isn't involved in a song he always stands like he's ready to run someone's fade at a moment's notice lmao
Honestly, Munk's reactions are the funniest to me. In the UK productions he is canonically Tugger's older brother so you really do get, "Are we sure he's no adopted?" vibes.
It’s like Prince and David Bowie were roommates in college and decided a cat would be a good idea.
Basically
Bruh,I’m wheezing 🤣
RIP Prince & Bowie 😢
And Freddie Mercury came over to catsit sometimes
The Leef YES
When he said *”m e o w”*
I felt that
The great thing about this stage performance is, that even in songs that are clearly about one character like Tugger, the other cats have such distinct personalities and are not some random cats but have charming, distinct interactions and expressions of their character... it builds up to a wonderful picture of the entire group. I just love Jellylorums shocked face when Tugger gives the older ladies a kiss, or Demeters annoyed strike at him... all the little pieces fit neatly together... that's something the movie lacks
You just described why I love this show.
They all keep their personalities even through the synchronized singing and dancing portions, which means they also keep their opinions about what's happening or who showed up. It's awesome!!
The movie lacks a lot. But this IS Cats.
When he kicks the ball to Misto and he misses, you can see Skimble immediately survey for damage before giving Misto a little reassuring headpat. It's all wonderfully in character even though Skimble has nothing to do with the song.
You're totally right! Their personalities amd relationships shine in every second of the musical.
Everyone who thinks it's just a revue show with cats singing should really pay closer attention. I grin every time Tugger goes up to Demeter's zoned out face and makes the swiper motion over it like: "hey, why aren't you fawning over me like the others?" and she's just like: leave me alone, dude!
Is no one going to mention the guy backflipping out of Tugger's spotlight at 0:06?
Never noticed that!
@Sarah Meyer yes me too but it was impressive
Took me 20 years to see that. My 3 year old actually pointed it out.
That's pouncivil :)
@@khaossecond appropriate
We should all choose to believe this is the only film of Cats that exists. It's better for everyone if we just agree to this as a society.
Right, we all agree that this is the only version of Cats that exists. We carry on, we NEVER speak of that other movie again.
@@spiritgirl41192 what other movie? 😉
Where I could find it complete? And with subtitles?
I love how the Cats movie has just become the new Last Airbender
Except that one part with Skimbleshanks
See, this is what happens when you don't spay and neuter your pets.
Faith W yup, how is RTT so de-sexed in the movie? Neutering programs have increased since the 80s.
Now I don't want to spay/neuter my pets O.O

@@ApequH are you Shane Dawson?
@@lenaboyer6981 If I say yes, can I enter his(/my) bank acount?
Anyone notice when he kicks the ball towards Misto and he misses it? And then one of the cats looks behind the stage and you can faintly hear something breaking
One of them said "owww" watch it
That was Skimble, he also gave Misto a lil headpat.
Time stamp please :>
@@the_cat_switch_blade 0:29
The funniest thing is that moment is so in character for him
i just realized that the reason tugger loves mistoffelees so much is that he's the ONE cat that wasn't hyping him up. Demeter (or bombellirina I can never tell them apart) was going for it and he's like "no go away" but misto is like "u are boring" and tugger is just like "guys this dude is so fucking cool he can do MAGIC TRICKS" I think that's adorable so I had to share.
It's like misto paid attention to his song and what he was saying-- he likes what's hard to get
@WildKamots they aren't related in this version
It's Demeter, bombellirina is the one throwing herself at him while demeter has other problems
Demeter is the cat tugger likes and keeps tickling her chin because she doesn't always pay attention to him. The ginger one swinging her tail is Bombalurina and doesn't like her because she's clearly tarty and jealous that the other female cats like him, especially that tugger keeps showing more attention to Demeter it's why she gets so mad. So she doesn't get the hint and acts all weird rubbing the bottom of a female cat because she's so in heat over him but way too intense and pushy, she reminds me of Cha Cha from Grease.
In the background, Mistoffelees looks like he's so conflicted between wanting to fawn over Tugger like the others and wanting to stay aloof and try to bring Tugger's ego down a little bit. I love it.
Oh no he is! The girl cat that screamed really loud was mistoffelees he just used his magic
@@danikaesquivel6369 YES
So they are like Ambiguous Gay Duo of Cats?
I think Misto is the only one listening to the song lyrics. Tugger is saying how he wants the opposite of what’s given to him. All of these girls throwing themselves at him are making the wrong move. Saying something like he’s boring is the right move. As they say “Oh well, I never was there was there ever a cat so clever as Magical Mr. Mistoffelees”. I rest my case.
@@zepp8806 YES. You get it. The girls don't. Misto intentionally plays hard to get because he knows that's what Tugger wants! I love you.
He is honestly the BEST person to play Tugger. No one could ever top this.
{{K i a r a} } who is it?
Who is?
S_I_M_O_N S_A_Y_S John Partridge is the actor for Tugger.
he has that TUGGER ENERGY
Hmmmm, I would say the Mr. Mistoffelees could top that cat. 😼 MEOW
I just realized (one of the reasons) why Tuggofelees works. Rum Tum is a CURIOUS cat so Misto being MYSTERIOUS AND MAGICAL just appeals to him. I just love their dynamic
Don't forget misto is playing hard to get, and tugger wants what he gets for himself, so him going after someone that isn't easy to get makes sense for him.
And,let’s be honest here, they both have so much gay energy it’s dripping out of my screen.
They would be beautiful together, fuck you.
His whole song is about wanting the opposite of what's offered to him
I FUCKING KNEW PEOPLE SHIPPED THEM.
So him wanting the opposite means...he wants misto?Lol I never understood. I did always feels some tension there. Didn't realize it was that!
This is the real appeal of Cats - the lyrics are ridiculous but the performance is so energetic and fun that you end up not really caring.
Therapist: Rum Tum Tugger isn’t real. You can’t develop feelings for him.
Rum Tum Tugger: *M E O W ~*
Wait.So the terapist is treating Rum Tum?
I don’t know anymore. I didn’t think I’d go this far.
*M E O W ~* *
I even developed feelings for a train. yes this is a starlight express reference
@@commentcopbadge6665 No, the therapist is treating the person whose in love with him which reminds me... ~MEOW~
Honestly, I like how you can tell how much fun he's having on stage.
It's always nice to see actors having fun with their roles in my opinion.
It makes the whole show better, you know?
@@TDIdialgagirl yeah!
Leira Whitehart has There’s nothing better then after a number (Excesialy a hard one like Mr mistoflys the Janice dance or any other one) Seing thing smiling wide panting
You’re right. I have performed in cats and this was the most fun song.
@@Formula_lover__ it does look fun!
I love how Rum Tum Tugger is so full of himself, he's cool and he KNOWS it. And yet, he knows when somebody else is cool and can acknowledge it. Totally willing to be Mr. Mistofelees hype man, because Mr. Mistofelees is awesome!
I love how you get the whole dynamic of Mr. Mistophpolese and Rum Tum Tugger with the former saying "Terrible bore."
Meaning either all the love is one-sided, or the better alternative in my eyes; The dynamic of The Goth and The Rainbow dating.
I’m sorry but you butchered Mr Mistoffelees’ name LMAO 😭 I agree with you though on the rainbow/goth dynamic
This is... Dr. Frank-N-Furter levels of chaotic bisexuality and I'm here for it.
Yessss, especially in the part that he says "No" and drops Bombalurina
glad we agree
Oh, Mistoffolees! 😂
(Instead of Dr Frank-N-Furter's line: "Oh, Rocky!")
OMG yessssd
So true.
Those girls just want Rum Tum Tugger to look at them the same way he looks at Mr. Mistoffelees.
Dan Kraus what....? are they couple or wt?!
@@luisaayub8793 No, its just that they seem a little too intimate.
Yes they are a couple
@@seasideseal4282 They arent.
@@luisaayub8793 Is it official canon? No. But go watch Tugger narrate Mr. Mistoffelees's big number and tell me there isn't something there.
This specific cat in the show always made me crack up because he is absolutely the walking personification of a tom cat. They do whatever they want regardless of your obligations and make a fuss about everything. Yet they walk around like the own the world.
I just find it so cute that they were able to perfectly encapsulate that character of a cat into a memorable role.
Tom Cats always act like they Own everything.
🤣
3:41 Can we talk about how perfectly they nailed the way that a group of tiny kittens will fixate and follow a moving object?
why is no one talking abt how phenomenal and comforting his voice is
RIGHT?? Why?
I know right?! It's GODLY
PHENOMENAL CAT
John Partridge was meant to play Rum Tum Tugger
John was born to be the Rum Tum Tugger!!....
Rum Tum Tugger: * Gets insulted by Mistoffelees *
The same Rum Tum Tugger: * Sings about how amazing Mistoffelees is *
Lo. I thought the same thing but Turns out the cat that called him a "bore" was Quaxo, Misto and Quaxo just happened to be played by the same actor, And Quaxo and Misto look a lot alike
@@emmamullins3043 actually in many versions quaxo and mistofeles are the same cat. Only in American versions are they diferent. This one happens to be a British based version so mistofeles did call him a bore.
I like to think that he isn’t really being too serious when he calls him a bore. It’s just how those too joke around with each other and you can see later that Rum Tum Tugger actually has a lot of respect for Mistoffelees so I think he’s just partially joking around
Belligerent sexual tension.
Kate Roy oh yeah, those two are rocking each other every free night... you know, when Tugged isn’t swimming in pussies and Mistoffelees isn’t.... idk, jealously weeping
I've watched this like a thousand time but Tugger's face when Misto starts singing has me crying with laughter
And Misto's voice omg
Nobody's talking about his amazing diction and it bothers me beyond reason.
I don’t know anything about diction, but I like learning new things! What’s amazing about it?
@@lenaboyer6981 It's how well and clearly you speak (or sing, in this case) :)
I LOVE DICTION SONGS! I was Gloria in Thoroughly Modern Millie, but since it was highschool I was also ensemble, so I was a part of the speed test. That song is HARD! And I also love the song "Not Getting Married" from company, and there is another one, I can't think of the name of the song, but its in A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder, where his mistress is qt his house, then his cousins widow shows up and says she wants to marry him, and he agrees. Like they are so much fun to listen to and learn.
I may be wrong but I thought "diction" was suppose to mean...
Yup its an ad-diction of mine BA DUM TSSSS
His entire song is about wanting the opposite of what's given to him.....so all the lady cats fawning over him? nope he wants the magical boy that called him boring XD
@WildKamots they aren't brothers there is very little cannon in this show.
WildKamots no, I’m pretty sure you’re thinking about munkunstrap.
@@bananaman677 Yeah Munk and Tugger are brothers but Misto and Tugger aren't

I love how all the kittens are squealing over him, meanwhile the Toms are trying to imitate him, in the back, and the older cats are just like, “well, I never!”
Pretty accurate.
Mia Wall as the magical Mr. Mistoffelees!
I can tell you took this from "Let's Talk Abour Cats" I'm not judging I'm just saying. And I'm also saying that I have watched Let's Talk Abour Cats WAY TOO many times.
FoxTaterTot124 Tatertot yeah, you’re right! Also you are not alone, I watch that video at least three times a week!
I love how bombalurina is so thirsty she grabs a random cats ass.
It's always fun to watch the background characters in these. You see Munkustrap just looking so annoyed and lost, like 'what am I supposed to do about this now?' Then there's Skimbleshanks in the background gesturing around to another cat (I can't identify who it is) and just motioning them over and taking to them. It's just a lot of fun characterisation in the background while John Partridge is hamming it up.
John Partridge definitely had so much fun during this. He looks so enlightened for every second that he plays Tugger…
He radiates such a strong 80s gay energy I love him
Wasn't this made in the 80s?
This one here was filmed in '97 and released on vhs in '98.
The show did debut on London's stage in '81.
@@commentcopbadge6665 Ohhh, thanks for the clarification

No sweat. And to validate the OP's comment, John Partridge(Rum Tum) is in fact gay. So.... LOL! Perhaps it's why this performance was as amazing as it is.

@@rosenrot234 no they big gay
@@lunasun1738 I've also considered that. It's all kind of a mish mash of all those lol. There's still moments where they mimic Tugger so to me it's like "Oh that's how he does it"
ok I'm not a furry but-
It's the John Partridge effect 😂
Me, either! But...
me neither, but-
Me neither but-
Its hard to argue with this assessment
I mean I’m thankful he didn’t but he could’ve stopped after the first ten seconds; he managed to convey the entire message with two meows.
Love how this entire song is just about how fussy he is
To this day, I still can't tell if the male kittens want to be him or have crushes on him. Maybe both.
Near the end you can see one of them trying to imitate him
Both, for sure. Loool
I bet Tugger is into Misto but Misto just roasts him kkkk lol
Murilo G.P. They are perfect husbands 😌✌️
Yes.
You can’t convince me that this part wasn’t written for Tim Curry.
Rose Weldon
or David Bowie.
Because this is the feline version of Sweet Transvestite
I would have loved to see Tim curry in the cats musical
it was based on Mick Jagger apparently, but it definitely feels like anyone who could play Frank could play this easily.
It sounds like freaking Frankenfurter
Demeter's face at 2:47 takes me out every time😭 like "maybe if I stay still he'll go away"
😂 she like " if I don't move he can't see me"
at 0:17 when Rum Tum Tugger is walking in front of the camera, if you look behind him it looks like Mr. Misstofelees just appears out of nowhere and I think it adds to the overall theme of the character :)
Lol yes!
It's probably just him coming over from the back of the stage but I like the creative thinking
ty lmao :)
Well he is the magic cat
I never noticed that before
Ironic how more budget can make something worse. Yes, this looks better than the film, what a shocker
And sounds better. All the background singers in the movie sounded like they were bored
@@joyunicycle agreed
Does anyone else get anxiety that he’s going to miss kicking the ball and then it be awkward after that
mE
Me
i wonder if anyone's actually missed before or is amazing kicking skills part of the application?
Maybe that bit is only in the film version?
C'mone Davis I saw cats live and he hit it so I’m guessing it takes a lot of practice!
we agree that mr mistofelees and rum tum tugger are gay for each other right
"...is a terrible bore!"
I think plenty of us have dated the sex icon with the ego the size of Mt. Everest that needs to be brought back down to Earth now and then.
tugger and misto are *absolutely* boyfriends but i also feel like it's an open relationship because there's absolutely no way tugger is monogamous
Yessss
There is absolutely no denial in that
Before the pandemic my school took my entire year to watch Cats and a lot of my class is Bi and the amount of panic you could hear from our voices when he meowed was funny
Mr. Mistoffelees: the Rum Tum Tugger is a terrible bore
Me: shut up I know you love him
These lot distracting the Area 51 guards
Gonna have a cats performance while the bois sneak round back
Okay the Area 51 memes are just getting annoying at this point. People are reaching so fucking far just to make a meme about Area 51 for cheap likes lmao. This has nothing to do with Area 51 or any of the jokes of it at all
Insert Unfunny Meme damn someone’s mad
@@elyxrr Irony considering your name
Hide your mum I’ve got a knife _______ aaaaaa this guy
0:30 he was supposed to catch the ball but it just zoomed over his head. I honestly love how sexual the Choreography is for Cats the musical it’s amazing
😭😭😭 I love you because you can agree with me!
Gotta love how it's the adults and Demeter, the only cats ignoring him, that Tugger directly approaches and interacts with
Rum TumTugger is an aggressive bisexual
*Change my mind.*
He's pan because a fuck is a fuck, gender doesn't matter and he loves to confuse the hell out of everyone
If you offer him a man he wants a woman
If you give him a woman he wants the man (this sound so weird but my mind is a mess and its 2 AM anyway :P)
Elena Weathers
he's not bi he's a womanizer
@@RacingSnails64 bi people can be womanizers.. who said he can't be a manizer too?
That's not subtext, it's just text
I am not surprised if Tugger is bisexual and wants Mistofelee, considering we have established that he only wants what he doesn't have, and Mistofelee is the only one who isn't obsessed with Tugger.
*tea*
If you say he’s bisexual, he’ll say that he’s straight.
Now you made me ship them.
@@shananika hah, that is the point!
So he is bi until someone says that he is so. Rebel to the core! (Pete Burns R.I.P. - my fav singer. I could not help writing bout him)
Just saw Cats in orchestra seating and I got winked at by the Rumtumtugger during his song and I was like “who me?”
Oh! Did you see the North American tour? 🙂
I think I’d actually just drop dead if that happened to me!!!
3:35 Honestly that mewing sound is so cute, and the one in the front all hiding her face is adorable 🥺
That’s Etcetera!
@@amelie2481 what a great name
I like how all the characters have names even when they are not mentioned on stage.
It's a nice touch.
Good for lore.

I love how at any point in the song, Victoria is just straight bopping in the background
She's like: I know this guy's cute and all but THIS MUSIC IS AMAZING. MAKE ROOM.
how my parents think gay people act:
how i want to act:
as you should
@@tsinummoc8704 i have no confidence so i don't think i could be as flamboyant as him
oi, fam, someday you will and you’ll rock the world with it ;)
@@tsinummoc8704 awwww how sweet thank you
Munk standing in the back like
“This is my brother… 😐”
Andrew Lloyd Webber deadass read a poem about a fussy cat and was like "You know what this needs? Gratuitous sexuality."
And he was right
😆
im sorry but jason derulo just didn't give me that 80's gay vibe that i was looking for like this did
is jason derulo gay himself?
Does Jason Derulo is gay????
@@fandomcringebucket pretty sure hes not lol but who knows
No one cares for Jason Derulo. This version of Tugger will always send me goosebumps.
2010s gay vibes is a terrible bore. lol
I love how confident he is... and how he move his hips. John Patridge is the perfect RumTumTugger.
"I get stuck in drawers"
*pelvic thrusting*
This show is batshit wild but everyone looks like they're having so much fun it's kinda hard not to enjoy it
There are so many layers to the interactions, so much Humor in how stuff is represented like here he gets hyped as every cats dream, but the text is he is undecisive and gets stuck in a drawer.... The scandalised older cats ... Him and misti in this song vs mistos
jason didn't do the meow and im suing.
Tugger: Mistofolees is the most handsome, majesetic, cool cat
Misto: lmao you finna bore me to death tugger
Choreography and music: horniest shit imaginable
Lyrics: sometimes i like to get stuck in drawers and scream lmao
Skimbleshanks looks so offended in the background lmao 😭
Skimbleshanks: *DESGONTANG*
i thought this was a kids' musical
*_I thought this was a kids' musical_*
Ha! And people wonder why we have so many furries😂
My mom loves this musical and we used to watch this exact version when I was really little. Comming back to it now.... I.... have no words.
This actually was made to be a kids musical
Soriyu the book of TS Eliot is; i dont really think this musical was actually made for kids
PPTX. Creative Studios judging by the G rating on the movie, I would say otherwise
Munkustrap must be thinking "what did I ever do to deserve being related to this guy".
Until he proves himself useful by introducing Misto and he saves Deuteronomy.
It's interesting watching this scene after the film because I feel that in the film they tuned him down like he's still the guy who turns down women and acts like a womanizer/playboy, but here he is extremely sexual and extravagant. The energy from this version compared to the film is completely different.
Truth. Also. It was made worse when they kept cutting back to rebel Wilson
I believe the reason why the movie was worse is because they never showed the showed the characters showing different emotions like how they did here. In Old D's song, Rum Tum Tugger is obviously shown that even he has respect for him, showing that he isn't all about that - whatever you call it
In the movie, they saw each character and made them stick to their stereotypes instead of showing more realism
My favourite part is at 0:30 because if you watch Misto in the background he's meant to catch the ball Tugger kicks - but instead, it misses and goes right over his head and there's a very brief 'oh shit' moment
