London, November 12 Russell Brand and partner Katy Perry have reportedly recorded a rendition of poet Edward Lear's 1871 nonsense verse 'The Owl And The Pussycat'.

The couple did the recording at the famous Sunset Sound studios, where the likes of The Rolling Stones, The Beach Boys and The Doors have made music in the past.

"Russell was just messing around in the studio with Katy. He was pretending to sing into the mic and started reciting the poem, The Owl And The Pussycat, with the lines, 'Oh lovely Pussy! Oh Pussy my love, what a beautiful Pussy you are'," the Sun quoted a source as saying.

The insider added: "It transpired the poem is a private joke between the couple.

"Russell apparently recited it to Katy during their Thailand holiday and they often use the nicknames Owl and Pussycat. Russell is 'Owl' because he's wise and, well, it's fairly obvious that Katy's a sex kitten, isn't it?

"He has an amazing delivery. Katy blushed at the line, 'O let us be married, too long have we tarried' then joined in, singing a refrain to Russell's speech.

"That's when it dawned on everyone. It was actually really good.

With work, it could be a really interesting track, evocative of The Goons or Monty Python. They were very harmonious. Everyone was transfixed." (ANI)
