Jethro Tull: And The Mouse Police Never Sleeps

Here's Jethro Tull miming to a track from their 1978 album Heavy Horses, the middle one of their folk-rock trilogy from this era.

I liked Songs from the Wood and Heavy Horses immensely when I was 18, and it was when I started exploring Tull's back catalogue that I discovered British R&B.

And The Mouse Police Never Sleeps may be the best pop or rock song about cats there is. I still feel, however, that the mouse police should not be a description of cats but an organisation of mice that shares intelligence about cats' movements and helps other mice escape from them, as well as maintaining law and order in the mouse community.
