Norma Tanega (1939 – 2019) was an American folk singer-songwriter, painter, and experimental musician. She had a hit with the single "Walkin' My Cat Named Dog" in 1966, reaching #22 on the US charts. The song tells the story of living in a New York City apartment building that did not allow dogs; instead she owned a cat which she named "Dog" and took for walks.
While traveling in England to promote her music she met Dusty Springfield resulting in a 5-year relationship. Springfield covered several of her songs during this time.
While Tanega failed to follow up her early pop success, she never stopped making music, and developed a cult following that continues to see her music appreciated and covered by many artists.

Walking through one of the guest houses at Hearst Castle, I pause before a painting, pensive.
"Is that a portrait of the vampire Nadja?"
Nope.
But, that does make me think of the "What We Do in the Shadows" theme song "You're Dead" by Norma Tanega...
