Favorite "Animal" Songs

Warren Zevon - Werewolves Of London


I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand
Walkin' through the streets of Soho in the rain
He was lookin' for the place called Lee Ho Fooks
Gonna get a big dish of beef chow mein

Aaahoo! Werewolves of London
Aaahoo!
Aaahoo! Werewolves of London
Aaahoo!

Ya hear him howlin' around your kitchen door
Ya better not let him in
Little old lady got mutilated late last night
Werewolves of London again

Aaahoo! Werewolves of London
Aaahoo!
Aaahoo! Werewolves of London
Aaahoo!

He's the hairy, hairy gent, who ran amok in Kent
Lately he's been overheard in Mayfair
You better stay away from him
He'll rip your lungs out Jim
Huh, I'd like to meet his tailor

Aaahoo! Werewolves of London
Aaahoo!
Aaahoo! Werewolves of London
Aaahoo!

Well, I saw Lon Chaney walkin' with the queen
Doin' the werewolves of London
I saw Lon Chaney Jr. walkin' with the queen
Doin' the werewolves of London
I saw a werewolf drinkin' a pina colada at Trader Vic's
And his hair was perfect

Aaahoo! Werewolves of London
Draw blood
Aaahoo! Werewolves of London

America - Horse With No Name

On the first part of the journey
I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
And the sky with no clouds
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
But the air was full of sound

I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la

After two days in the desert sun
My skin began to turn red
After three days in the desert fun
I was looking at a river bed
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Made me sad to think it was dead

You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la

After nine days I let the horse run free
'Cause the desert had turned to sea
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
there was sand and hills and rings
The ocean is a desert with it's life underground
And a perfect disguise above
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
But the humans will give no love


You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la

Listening to White Bird now and it still makes me shed a tear or two, like it always did. Don't know why.

I thought you were saying you'd seen the band in '98 and '14. Misunderstood.

Oh, and since I wasn't paying attention earlier (busy hunting music to listen to. lol)

on your #150!

[radu]

They were awesome live! I liked them better live than on album. But either way, they rocked!

[MoochPooch]

Hi Kathy!

“Wildfire” (It’s about a horse — does an actual animal need to be mentioned?)

If not, then:

“Piggies” (Beatles)

[Publius]

Brahms: Trio for Piano, Violin and Horn in E-flat, Op. 40, finale

This is a fox hunt set to music.

[radu]

OH! So they WERE still playing that recently? Wow! Still sounded great too!

[PROCON]

Has that LUV gal popped in yet?

I learned my sneakiness from her.

[PROCON]

it still makes me shed a tear or two, like it always did. Don't know why.

The music arrangement and voices are spectacular; they are one of a kind.

[radu]

Haven’t seen her yet but as brain-dead as I am tonight, she could have snuck in and I missed her.

She’s a good one to learn “sneak” from. :-)

[BlueLancer]

"Timothy" by the Buoys

[Publius]

Considering it’s about cannibalism, I guess it qualifies.

[radu]

I won’t argue with that! The video is still playing and I like this live version a lot.

[Fiji Hill]

When rock and roll music swept the country, its detractors launched a veritable musical war, hoping that calypso music, Hawaiian ballads and hillbilly songs would slay the monster. Listen to see what happened.

The Monster--Billy Ford & the Thunderbirds (1958)

[PhiloBedo]

Tie Me Kangaroo Down

[Publius]

Joe South: "Birds of a Feather"

[Fiji Hill]

What's the word? Thunderbird! What's the price? Thirty twice.

Thunderbird--Dossie Terry (1958)

[Publius]

Rolf Harris: "Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport"

[luvie]

Just got here. I had to watch the CRConvention and it was a two-hour show. LOL!

I'm all politicked out now! :)

[PROCON]

Ha, you played "Timothy".

I had a buddy who's older brother's name was Timothy when that song came out. We had fun with it!

[luvie]

Wooohoooo!! :)

[Publius]

Peter Paul & Mary: "Puff the Magic Dragon"
