“Cats in the Cradle” was originally written and recorded by Harry Chapin in 1974 for his album Verities & Balderdash. In 1992, American hard rock band Ugly Kid Joe recorded their own version for their debut album America’s Least Wanted.
Released as a single in 1993, the cover became the band’s biggest hit, reaching number six on the Billboard Hot 100 and climbing to number three on the Billboard Album Rock Tracks chart.
The song sold over 500,000 copies in the United States and was certified gold by the RIAA. Internationally, it also performed strongly, topping the charts in Australia and reaching the top ten in several countries including the United Kingdom, Ireland, Norway, Sweden, New Zealand, Switzerland, and Iceland.
