Songs about animals (non-kid songs)

About animals??

I always thought Rocky Raccoon was a real raccoon.
**
The Animal Song** - Savage Garden

If I Had A Boat” by Lyle Lovett, because of the pony. The pony on the boat.

ETA: “Let’s Make Love Like Animals” by Helen Arney is very worth a listen. Disturbingly literal (but educational!).

Napoleon XIV: ‘They’re coming to take me away’

He’s singing about his dog that ran away.

Dr. Worm - They Might Be Giants.

Walking in Your Footsteps - The Police.

Baby Elephant Walk-Henry Mancini

Bears - Quicksilver Messenger Service

(there are bears on the stairs
often in pairs
and they’re really hard to get along with)

Gwar has a song about, uh… having… relations with an animal. You can look it up for yourself.

Oh yeah, and “Yellow Bird” (“Choucoune”). So we’ve got songs about white, yellow, blue, and black birds… and then there’s “The Great Speckled Bird”, although that’s an allegory. Actually, I guess all those bird songs are to one degree or another allegories.

Another bird…“May The Bird Of Paradise Fly Up Your Nose” - Little Jimmy Dickens

Oh! And “Woolly Bully” - Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs

Still more birds:

Tennessee Bird Walk - Jack Blanchard & Misty Morgan

Funky Worm - Ohio Players
There’s A New Sound (The Sound Of Worms) - Tony Burrello

The entire Cats soundtrack. :smiley:

Wolves, Lower - R.E.M.

Shouldn’t he have to disavow that song, since he converted?
