Songs About Dogs?

"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?

Kim Wilde's dad was Marty Wilde - he was a huge star in the UK in the late 50's (cf. Cliff Richard, Billy Fury, Tommy Steele) and he did indeed later haver a hit with "Abergavenny" (it's actually a part of South Wales fwiw) under the pseudonym Shannon.

Roy and the Invaders - Fat Dog ... choice reggae song
Wee Willie Shantz - hush puppy hush

Mary Provost did not look her best

The day the cops bust into her loneiy nest

In the cheap hotel up

on Hollywood West July 29

She'd been lyin' there

for two or three weeks

The neighbors said

they never heard a squeak

For hungry eyes that couid not speak

Said even little doggie's have got to eat

?@

She was winner

The became the doggie's dinner

She never meant that much to me

(But now I see) Oh poor Mary

?@

Mary Provost was a movie queen

Mysterious angel of the silent screen

And run like the wind

the nation's young men steam

When Mary crossed the silent screen

Oh she came out west from New York

But when the talkies came

Mary just couldn't cope

Her public said Mary take a walk

All the way back to New York

?@

Those twin balms didn't help her sleep

As her nights grew long

and her days grew bleak

It's all downhill

once you've passed your peak

Mary got ready for that last big sleep

The cops came in

and they looked around

Throwing up everywhere over

what they found

The handywork of Mary's little dachshund

That hungry little dachshund

Poor Mary, poor Mary, poor poor Mary

Poor Mary

cheech and chong "black lassie (a great american dog)"

actually i'm pretty sure there's another thread about this somewhere.

also, aerosmith have THREE dog songs (at least) (exactly as many as the pet shop boys, i think).

Dogs v. Cats

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?
