Three Keyboard Cat Moon - Threadless, Best T-shirts Ever

The Internet spreads ideas like a rabid wolfpack let loose in a gated community. It’s scary, but weirdly fun too. We’ve learned this with this newest tee, “Three Keyboard Cat Moon.” Once there were two separate internet memes: Keyboard Cat - the loveable slapstick video closer, and Three Wolf Moon – the tee that launched a thousand satirical comments. In an instant last Friday, these two met on our website and made Threadless history: highest score ever, most votes ever, most I'd buy it's ever (most controversy ever too, if you could vote on that)…AND this is the first time we’ve printed a submission before scoring has ended!

But don’t let this rabid outbreak of memes deter you - ironic jokes are just one fraction of what makes Threadless such an amazing community. So keep on designing, folks – and bring on all the artistic diversity - keyboards, cats, wolves, and otherwise!

I wonder if the last score was a bit edited by staff?

I mean I seen a ton of people ahting on it, I personally gave it a 5$$ but I see way too many people hating on it for it to still be that high?

I dunno but OXEN def hit a home run and kicked everyoen's ass, now to go bump fatheeds blog :)

I'm sure that score's for real - but I kinda wish they had just let it finish scoring....

Maybe I'm just a stickler for tradition.

I guarantee that in a year when newbies ask what the highest scored shirt is and we show them this they'll be totally befuddled. Congrats though Oxen!

I think a phenomenon like this will happen only once every five to 10 years.

i also wonder if they will just keep printing this tee so it never sells out...

I really dont get any of this at all.... wait, wait I think I do..... it's more COMMERCIAL than artwork now. Can't blame them, Threadless is a business afterall.

Haha
Well now we call this the act of mating but...
There are several other very important differences
Between human beings and anmials you should know about

I'd appreciate it in the butt

Sweat baby sweat baby
Sex is a Texas drop me
Can you do the kind of stuff that only friends would sing about
So put your hands down my pants and I bet you'll feel nuts
Yes I'm Sisco, Yes I'm Ebert and you're getting two thumbs up
You've had enough of two hand touch
You want it rough you're out of bounds
I want you smoothered want you covered
Like my waffle house hash browns
Come quick like fed ex
Irridgenate like fex
Just like cuticle cost stock
You are inclined to make me rise an hour early
Just like day light savings time

(Chorus)
Do it now
You and me baby ain't nothing but mammals
So let's do it like they do on the discover channel
Do it again now
You and me baby ain't nothing but mammals
So let's do it like they do on the discover channel
Getting horny now

Love the kind you clean up with a mop and bucket
With the lost catagrins of Egypt
Only god knows where we stuck it
Heiroglphyics let me be specific
I wanna be down in your south seas
But I got this notation that the motation of your ocean
Meets small craft of that visery
So if I captsize
And devize high tide give me five
You sunk my battle ship
Please turn me on I'm Mr. Coffee with an automatic drip
So show me your's I'll show you mine
Tool Time you'll love it just like la
And then we'll do it doggie-style
So we can watch x-files

(3x's)
Do it now
You and me baby ain't
