  • Sam the Skull is a song by about a fictional cat said to roam around Glasgow, Scotland. Sam the Skull is said to be a very tough cat, and in the song he describes himself as having "claws in ma paws like a crocodiles jaws and a heid like a fermers bull", and he boasts of strangling rats and occasional dogs.

However, the story is that the RSPCA came to catch him in a car, but he stole the car and drove away, and now resides with a bird, in a single end in Maryhill. The song was recorded by Alastair McDonald for his album Scottish Lauglines, but it has been recorded a few times, for example by the Scottish band Gaberlunzie or by the Scottish Folk group The Wherries. The song Tha Lugton Dug' (Scots for Lugton Dog), by Alastair McDonald, tells a story about a dog just as tough as Sam the Skull. The story ends, after the Dog tells about him eating vampire bats: And apart frae that, thaure's a Glasgae cat, boot Ah ate him last nicht fer tea! (en)
