You can skip after :26 if you only came here for the dogs barking.
Been Caught Stealing by Jane's Addiction
Could Robert Smith be a herd of cats in a trenchcoat, masquerading as a human? We're just asking questions here.
Lovecats by The Cure
You might prefer the Hank Williams original, and I wouldn't argue. But as this was the world's first true rock n' roll song, the same 12 bar blues arrangement as “Rock Around the Clock,” George here gives it the tribute it deserves. Also, dogs.
Move It On Over by George Thorogood and the Destroyers
Music by Al Rinker and lyrics by Floyd Huddleston, for you musical purists. Vocals by Scatman Crothers (Hallorann), Phil Harris, Robie Lester and bunch of cats. Please ignore the occasional racism. This is Disney, y'know, and that used to be their wh...
Everybody Wants To Be A Cat Lyrics by The Aristocats
Seamus loved to sing the blues. This is back when Pink Floyd was cool.
Pink Floyd - Seamus (Official Audio)
Not my favorite, but it insisted on being on this list and I didn't have the heart to throw it outside like Fred Flintstone.
Stray Cat Strut by the Stray Cats
Sam the Sham was really Domingo Samudio, who got the nickname by wearing a turban and driving to gigs with his instruments packed into a hearse. The song was written by Ronald Blackwell and a wolf makes an excellent pet, I'm told, if you are patient ...
Lil' Red Riding Hood by Sam The Sham & The Pharaohs
Yes, I did think about “Nothing but a Hound Dog" here but…. A little too on the nose, don't you think? And you know how sensitive their noses are. It's time we explore the wider world of pets.
(Let Me Be Your) Teddy Bear by Elvis Presley
Here we enter the tricky philosophical arena of questioning how different we really are from the animals we call pets. Are they conscious? Are they capable of abstract thought? Are we? At 6:30 am on a Monday, listening to the traffic report on the hi...
Apeman by The Kinks
Before the Internet, nobody was able to look up the phrase "looka looka koo la ley" and discover that it doesn't mean anything at all. Nice one, Jeff!
Jungle by Electric Light Orchestra
The Eels is really just one guy, Mark Oliver Everett, who calls himself E and, based the evidence of the lyrics here, is messed up.
Jungle Telegraph by the Eels
Lions and giraffes are fine pets, but let's be real. It's more likely that you had a frog at some point. Or maybe that's only me.
Ain't Got No Home by Clarence "Frogman ...
If you don't remember Jim Stafford, you weren't alive in the 70s and 80s. And never saw him sing this with Dolly Parton. Good for you. Don't tempt me to play “Cow Patti.”
Spiders & Snakes by Jim Stafford
Riffing on a Scottish hymn from the 1800s, “There Is A Happy Land,” this banger comes from Black Country icons Neville John "Noddy" Holder (who totally could have been The Doctor) and Jim Whild Lea. The best thing about a chameleon as a pet is that t...
Run Run Away by Slade
Every single one of us had a Christmas where our moms said, “Your father is buying you a pet this year,” and on the day we rushed down stairs and tore open the presents to find a Pet Rock.
I Am a Rock by Simon & Garfunkel
Mick said this was not about Marianne Faithful, so who are you going to believe? Keith said it was a lullaby for his son about not wanting to go on tour anymore, which is such a popular topic that it deserves its own playlist: Musicians complaining a...
Wild Horses by the Rolling Stones
Who watched Fred Wolf's “The Point” and his animated segments on the Marlo Thomas gig “Free to Be You and Me”?
Me and My Arrow by Harry Nilsson
7 minutes? Yeah, it's an eternity. Just let the music play in the background and go feed your pet.
Year of the Cat by Al Stewart
Happy Halloween! No matter what time of year, this song lives forever on the night before Nov. 1.
