for some reason i got it in my mind to make a mix half about dogs and half about cats. what are some good cat and dog songs? heres what i have so far.
Old Dog Blue Jim Jackson
Salty Dog Mississippi John Hurt
I Wanna Be Your Dog The Stooges
Black Eyed Dog Nick Drake
Hound Dog Big Mama Thorton
Bear Cat (The Answer to Hound Dog) Rufus Thomas
Wild Cat Gene Vincent
Cat's Blues Palace Music

not necessarily in that order, except hound dog/bear cat will be the center piece. dog songs are relatively easy to find but there are precious few good cat songs.

anything by the Stray Cats, of course ("Stray Cat Strut" if you're specifically going for titles.
I'd suggest "The Lovecats", but I'm bored shitless with than song although I'm sure I'm in a minority there (even with the Jamie Cullum version out there).

.... oh, just use The Cure's "Shake Dog Shake", that solves the problem nicely.

and what cats and dogs collection would be complete without at least one track from Cat Butt's Journey to the Center of... EP. Surely, one of thee lost Sub Pop treasures. Right?

Red House Painters - Three Legged Cat
Red House Painters - Wop A Din Din

The latter doesn't have cat in the title, but the song is about leaving his cat at home while going out on tour, and about how much he loves his cat.
