Songs About Dogs?

..not really about dogs:
Dog - Hunters & Collectors
Bitch School - Spinal Tap

When Ulysees comes home
he always greets me with an open heart
but you will see how Ulysees
has taken my life apart

I've got a dog called Ulysees
he plays all day in the park
sniffing at his friends and the chestnut trees
and chasing cats 'til after dark

When my Ulysees comes home
wag wag woof woof
his tail in the air
his usual exuberance
is awfully hard to bear

When I stumble home at night I'm jaded and stale
and so I try to take a little repose
I don't want waking up with a happy tail
I don't want a kiss from a big wet nose

When my Ulysees comes home
wag wag woof woof
he gets on my wick
for Ulysees communicates
his love with a snuffle and a lick

I like to sit in my fireside chair
watching telly 'til the epilogue
in a semi coma and without a care
and I would do if it were not for my bloody dog

When my Ulysees comes home
wag wag woof woof
like a maniac
its useless to pursue my viewing
so I sent my television back

I tried to climb the social scale
and so I organized a little do
some very posh people came to my cocktail
but at half past seven my party was through

When my Ulysees came home
wag wag woof woof
I knew I was sunk
my guests were not at all impressed
and they left when my dog got drunk

I brought my sweetie home one night
and we both knew that this was it
sipping Chianti by candlelight
we were getting to a very important bit

When my Ulysees came home
wag wag woof woof
he broke the spell
intruding on my beautiful romance
like a hound from hell

My one solution is quick and grim
a little bottle of cyanide
I can't get myself to get rid of him
I shall have to perform a suicide

So when Ulysees comes home
wag wag woof woof
home for his tea
he'll have to cry a little bit
for having given so much love to me

"Feed Jake" by Pirates of the Mississippi
"Ol' Red" by Blake Shelton
"When I think about Angels" by Jamie O'Neal (doesn't seem like it, but read the liner notes)

MX-80 Sound, "Kill That Dog" - Decidedly pro-dog, misleading title aside.

"Dogs" - DogsByDogs

"Me And You And A Dog Named Boo" - Lobo

"The Blind Boy's Dog" - Hank Snow (heartbreaking country song about a blind boy's dog who gets drafted into the army and is sent overseas. and gets killed. the blind boy can only lament, "won't you send my dog home uncle sam?"

No!

Wait.... [sings to self]

"She wanders alone through the night
A child with eyes burning bright
She extends her arms for an embrace a tiny smile
Her ruby lips on her doll- like face
The danger's a mystery here
As she invites you to hold her near
Her mirrored image could not be linked to
A woman's mind,so sharp and so distinct

Like a swimmer in a secret sea
Undecayed for all eternity
Claudia, better stay away from Claudia

The silkiness of her lips
As she bends low to kiss
A tiny seductress in ringlets and pearls you reel
In madness as the whole world about you whirls
Like the tinkle of a small silver bell
Her voice will put you under her spell
A crushed crysanthemum in her hand a beautiful doll of death
She'll take your dying breath"

i think it would be very funny if the cure had done a dog song, a very sad one. or jeff buckley. ha ha.

Shake Dog Shake?

i still have a cd that was sent to a radio station i worked at that had as its last track a song called "i wanna fuck my dog." the dude elaborates on this this (and talks to his dog) at some length over casio beats.

Canadian classic.

Revive. Help me wallow, please.

Jim Reeves - Old Tige

A Dog's Life by Wild Beasts

Read the odds of this song
Walk colder home, walk cold
My press face on the ice lead
A time is heaven when you call
Painted lipstick on it
Walk the truth up to me
Border like all the others
Just one of my sweaters
Made of something better
So throw a ball up into space
Hold the phone up to its face
Leave it outside in the rain
A tired walk by it's head
Never speak of me again

Does a whole album made from the viewpoint of a dog count?
