> [@Snowboarder\_Bo](#): > > [Litterbox Massacre](https://litterboxmassacre.bandcamp.com) is a Slamming Catcore band from Canada. Two days ago they released a new single, [Red Dot Mystery](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Qi4Iw2mgh8). > > I also give high marks to [My Bowl’s Half Empty](https://youtu.be/CwUhTAocO_c?t=528) from their spring 2019 EP _Welcome to the Scratching Post_.

I can’t believe no one’s mentioned “House of the Rising Sun”. Seriously, how about chickens doing “In the Mood”. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/m2uZS53bjsg/hqdefault.jpg "Ray Stevens Clucking Chickens") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2uZS53bjsg) ---

Flanders and Swan had several songs about animals. The chorus of ["The Gnu Song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqgPyqyh4X4)" is sung by the title animal. ---

[quote=“E-DUB, post:45, topic:842825”] I can’t believe no one’s mentioned “House of the Rising Sun”. Seriously, how about chickens doing “In the Mood”. [/QUOTE] Actually… When I made the first post I wrote that House of the Rising Sun didn’t count. But, then realized that some people wouldn’t get it and changed it to Adam Ant before I posted it. And, I already mentioned In the Mood in an earlier post, but that is good enough for a second mention. And even a third mention. This is from Carol Burnett.

> [@Infovore](#): > > What about “Muskrat Love”? They aren’t the main singers but it does have some muskrats-gettin’-busy stuff at the end. If we’re going there, has anyone mentioned “Been Caught Stealing,” by Jane’s Addiction? Annie, a dog, provides rhythmic and (IMHO) melodic touches through important parts of the song: > **[Been Caught Stealing](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Been_Caught_Stealing)** > > "Been Caught Stealing" is a song by American rock band Jane's Addiction, released in November 1990 by Warner Bros. as the third single from the band's second album, Ritual de lo Habitual (1990). The song is also the band's biggest hit, spending four weeks at No. 1 on the US Billboard Modern Rock chart. Different versions appear on the compilations Kettle Whistle, Up from the Catacombs – The Best of Jane's Addiction and Rev. > The tune later appeared in the 2004 video game Grand Theft Auto: San ... ---

How could I forget this one? On Judy Collins a cappella [_Farewell to Tarwathie_](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjfkQtSNKl4), a chorus of humpback whales provides the backing vocals. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/songs-sung-by-animals/842825.md?page=2)
