This is of course a “sequel” to the original Carnival of the Animals by Saint-Saens.
Della and The Dealer (and a dog named Jake and a cat named Kalamazoo) - Hoyt Axton
Although it’s not obvious from the title, the Old 97s song “Murder (Or A Heart Attack)” is about the singer’s attempt to retrieve his girlfriend’s cat who ran away.
Many of the songs on Jethro Tull’s *Heavy Horses *album are about animals:
…And the Mouse Police Never Sleeps
Moths
Rover
One Brown Mouse
Heavy Horses
…and if you stretch a point, “Weathercock.”
Thought of a few jokes,…then I thought better. You can teach an old dog new tricks.
I’ll change the subject and leave the jokes to the wittier, ballsier posters here.

apologies for any dupes, I was free associating and these are what came up
Can’t believe I forgot Flight of the Bumblebee (Rimsky-Korsakov)!
“All in a Mouse’s Night” and “Squonk” from Genesis’ A Trick of the Tail
“I Am Your Pussy” by Gong (arguably… the song is an extended double entendre)
And some fishy songs…
“The Salmon Song” by Steve Hillage
“Neon Meate Dream of a Octafish” by Captain Beefheart (perhaps)
“Terrapin” by Syd Barrett
“Killer” by Van der Graaf Generator

Me and You and a Dog Named Boo - Lobo
Yup, that was the point of the song. As it starts, you think it’s about when his wife/girlfriend (or whatever) “ran away.” Notice “ran away”? That’s an unusual way to speak of someone leaving you or breaking up with you. But the big reveal is later:
- Well you just wait, they’ll find you yet and when they do they’ll put you
in the ASPCA, you mangy mutt!!!
The song is about descending into madness. Was it his dog or his lover that left him? Can he tell the difference any more?
You know, I always thought that was just invective, not literal.

Whaddya mean, it’s not about an animal. The band swore up and down that Timothy was a mule!

And you knew that before opening the thread, as you discussed elsewhere. This is what we call threadshitting. You deliberately opened a thread to complain about the thread contents.
