Here's a great record that's been in my collection for years but I haven't pulled out recently to DJ.

It's pretty obscure, but here's what we do know:
Mort Garson, listed here as the arranger, is involved. While he had some noteworthy success producing and writing records in the late 50's and early 60's, Mort Garson is best remembered to psychedelic fans as a somewhat successful producer/writer/arranger in Los Angeles responsible for the cult LP, "The Zodiac: Cosmic Sounds", released on Elektra in 1967, a novelty item featuring meandering 'Summer of Love' rock instrumentals, each with monologues involving the signs of the Zodiac. It is somewhat notable due to Garson's extremely early use of electronic synthesizers (including the Moog-- the "Zodiac" LP is the first LP from the West Coast to use it).

The A-Side of this single is attributed to one "A. Shuman" and is almost entirely instrumental, save for a young woman rather ludely growling "See the cheetah! He looks so groo-vy!" There is a bit of the same electronic synthesizer (from "Zodiac") to be heard on it. It's a pretty great track, with upper register female singing and an interesting "Jungle"-like sound, including bongo drums and flute.

Judging by the release number, this record's from 1967 (just before the Incense and Peppermints single).

Take a listen to an excerpt from the actual record at this link: Cheetah. It's a pretty sleazy groove, perfect for the go-go dancer! The bside is a throwaway jazz instro, which you won't be needing because the A-Side is where it's at. This is a pretty great record to fill out a late 60's soul set (always good to spice it up with a different tempo)... would also make a great addition to your lounge or psych/pop/fuzz set.
