Topic: Got any good Dog songs?

I was just missing my dog who passed around the middle of this past year which got me looking around for dog songs on the net.  I noticed there are a bunch of Dog songs but not really collected in a list anywhere of more than a hand full so I figure we should get one going here. I found one that I'd never heard before that's pretty good so I'll start it off with this one:

I Love My Dog - Cat Stevens (kind of ironic - Cat wrote I Love My Dog)

J  E  T  S
...and yet a Washington Commanders fan (unless they change their name again) ...long story...HTT...C

Re: Got any good Dog songs?

I guess when talking about Dog songs you have to include this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5t2aL79_2e4   POM  "Feed Jake"

Re: Got any good Dog songs?

A couple by my favorite Canadian writer, Fred Eaglesmith, but kind of at different ends of the "dog song" spectrum ......

"He's a Good Dog"

"I Shot Your Dog"

Re: Got any good Dog songs?

Here's a song about a dog named "Fluffy" we stole off the Bob and Tom Show.

We pronounce it "Guf Coast".

"Ol' King" by Neil Young.  He uses a banjotar on it. 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LewksJae … re=related

I lost my own Ivy dog after she had a stroke last fall and have been missing her.  Poor old thing gave up on something the first time in her life on her last day.  Unfortunately, the 'thing' was standing up.  She just kept collapsing and finally just laid down and quit trying.

Re: Got any good Dog songs?

Jeff,
Sorry to hear about your dog. I am very attached to my aging dog. It's going to be a hard day when she goes. She got lyme disease last year and I wasn't sure she was going to make it. I wrote this one:

Re: Got any good Dog songs?

Hi again jets,I remebered another song from around the sixties,  Me and you and a dog named boo,I do not know who did it or if it is all about a dog. I think toots brought to mind a really old songcalled  How much is that doggie in the window? I do not think they are the same songs. Mr bojangles is just talking that his dog up and died and after twenty years he still grieves.

Re: Got any good Dog songs?

Since we are adding Songs of our own, here is my song about my dog I wrote while she was still around. I call it Chibi's Song.

Re: Got any good Dog songs?

"Move it on over"  George Thorogood covered this one, could possibly be a Chuck Berry song.

"The Weight"  by The Band mentions a dog.

"I love my dog"  by Jane Sibbery.
