Eye of the Tiger
Three Blind mice
Blackbird calling
Hush Baby Don't you cry- Daddy's going to buy you a mockingbird
Go Tell Aunt Rosie the old gray goose is dead
Waltzing Matilda
Rudolph the Red nosed reindeer

That might stir up some memories... mainly mine! I'll have to shift brain cells and think about this one...

Susie

"How Much is that Doggie in the Window?"
"She'll be Comin' Round the Mountain when She Comes" ("She'll be drivin' six white horses when she comes...."
"Ol' MacDonald Had a Farm" (too many animals to mention)
"Ghost Riders in the Sky" ("when all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw..."

Now my mind is on the fritz. Whatever made you think up this question, PC?

You ain't nothin but a hound dog
How much is that doggie in the window?
Mockingbird Hill
The old grey mare
My blue Heaven
Does the itsy bitsy spider count?
or Ladybug, ladybug fly away home?
Home on the range
Bury me not on the lone prairie
Old MacDonald
The bear went over the mountain

Pop goes the weasel was the first one I thought of, but forgot to enter it.

"Blackbird" The Beatles

"The Weight" The Band.....

Crazy Chester followed me, and he caught me in the fog.
He said, "I will fix your rags, if you'll take Jack, my dog."
I said, "Wait a minute, Chester, you know I'm a peaceful man."
He said, "That's okay, boy, won't you feed him when you can."

Countless songs by the Grateful Dead, off the top of my head..
AlligatorÂ.
Sleepy alligator in the noonday sun
Sleepin by the river just like he usually done

Dire WolfÂ..
When I awoke, the dire wolf, six hundred pounds of sin,
Was grinning at my window, all I said was come on in

China Cat SunflowerÂ.
KrazyKat peeking through a lace bandana
like a one-eyed Cheshire
like a diamond-eye Jack

Terrapin Station

"Four Horseman" Metallica

Pink Floyd did a whole album called Animals
With songs like Dogs, Pigs, Pigs on the Wing, and Sheep. Altho none of the songs except sheep actualy mention said animals
Also by Pink Floyd "Breathe"Â
Run, rabbit, run
Dig that hole, forget the sun

"Godzilla" Blue Oyster Cult

"Turtle Blues" Janis Joplin

And the song that started it all....
Della and a dealer
It was Della and a dealer and a dog named Jake,
And a cat named Kalamazoo,
Left the city in a pick-up truck.
Gonna make some dreams come true.

Hoyt Axton

Hang on a sec - I thought Waltzing Matilda was a WWII tank? And Dirt Dew, you're doing great, but Ladybug was a nursery rhyme, or did it have a tune?

The only two I could think of were "Hound Dog" (like Dirt Dew) and "Rockin' Robin".

How I thought of this? Outgardening is going to help the no-kill shelter with some gardening stuff - I thought some murals on their brick walls might be cool. Someone else thought of the animal sounds "Bow-wow", "woof", etc. and I thought some song verses might be cool. And, of course, there's the animal names in other languages.... or names of famous animals...

More, more, more. I want more lyrics. It's a big wall!

La Cucaracha?

Puff, the magic dragon
Stewball (Old Stewball was a racehorse and I wish he were mine, he never drank water, he always drank wine...)
The Unicorn song (You'll see green alligators and long necked geese, humpty backed camels and chimpanzees....)

Jeff, were you in a band? Only people I know who know that many songs *and* the lyrics are musicians.

Sam, you listed 3 of my favorite songs. Don't know why I didn't think of those.

La Cucaracha??!! LOL

PC, what no-kill shelter?

That would be ABC - Bell and about 40th Street. Really neat place - I've never seen dog runs so big, and filled with toys and cushions. My dogs have never had it *that* good! They also appear to be very careful about the animals. Quite a few volunteers to come in and cuddle them - it's great.

How about a few off the wall ones

"Proudest Monkey" Dave Matthews band

Swing in this tree Oh I am bounce around so well
Branch to branch, Limb to limb you see
All in a dayÂs dream IÂm stuck
Like the other monkeys here I am a humble monkey
Sitting up in here again But then came the day
I climbed out of these safe limbs

"Three Little Birds" Bob Marley and the Wailers

"Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right.
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right!"

Rise up this mornin',
Smiled with the risin' sun,
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,

"Swan Swan H" by REM

Swan, swan, hummingbird
Hurrah, we are all free now
What noisy cats are we
Girl and dog he bore his cross
A long, low time ago, people talk to me

Here are some others which really depend on your taste in music (mine is sort of warped)-

Like a Dog--Long Beach Dub Allstars
Rat in Mi Kitchen--UB40
Hyena--REM
Cat Scratch Fever--Ted Nugent
Stray Cat Strut -Stray Cats
Rooster, Frogs -Alice in Chains

My first thought was the Pink Floyd CD that Padron pointed out, of course my second thought was the group "The Animals" :-)

Wolverton Mountain

The bears and the birds on Wolverton...

Horse Named Bill

I had a horse and his name was Bill,
when he ran he wouldn't stand still...

Bye bye Blackbird

Pack up all your cares and woe
here we go, singing low,
bye bye blackbird

Ol' Blue
Traditional

I had an old dog and his name was Blue,
Betcha five dollars he's a good dog too.
Every night just about good dark,
Blue goes out and begins to bark
Here old Blue, you're a good dog you.
Here old Blue, you're a good dog you.

Blue chased a possum up a 'simmon tree,
Barked at the possum and grinned at me.
Chased that possum way out on a limb,
Blue sat down and he talked to him
Here old Blue, you're a good dog you.
Here old Blue, you're a good dog you.

Blue got sick, he got mighty sick,
Called for the doctor to come right quick.
The4 doctor come and he come in a run,
But he said old Blue your huntin's done.
Here old Blue, you're a good dog you.
Here old Blue, you're a good dog you.

Old Blue died and he died so hard,
He shook the ground in my back yard.
I dug his grave with a silver spade,
And lowered him down with a length of chain.
Here old Blue, you're a good dog you.
Here old Blue, you're a good dog you.

There's just one thing that troubles my mind,
Blue went to heaven and left me behind.
When I get to heaven, first thing I'll do,
Is get my horn and call for Blue.
Here old Blue, you're a good dog you.
Here old Blue, you're a good dog you.

Nope not a musician, But I did stay at a holiday in last night. lol. Actually I went to a lot of Dead shows, and listened to many more recorded shows, so I guess you can say some of those songs are embeded in my memory. The Weight, by The Band, is a song the Dead perfomed live a lot. If you ever watch any TV you'll see the commercial for att or cingular wireless? and you'll recognize the song..
"I pulled into Nazereth, I was feelin bout half past dead
I just need some place where I could lay my head
Hey mister can you tell me, where a man might find a bed?
He just grinned and shook my hand, no was all he said"

Della and a Dealer on the other hand, I've never heard before, I just cut and paste the lyrics in PCs post into Google and there it was... It's a beautiful thing :-)

Speaking of the Dead...heres another one.. Written by Bob Dylan

Teddy Bears Picnic

If you go out in the woods today
You're in for a big surprise
Today is the day that the teddy bears
have their picnic

Oh no- Teddy Bear Picnic is one of those songs that stays in my head for weeks! Otherwise it's a good song...

Three little fishes

Mairzy Doats

Mairzy doats and dozey doats
and little lamseydivey
A kiddleydivey too
Wouldn't you?

(Mares eat oats and does eat oats
and little lambs eat ivy
A kid'll eat ivy too...)

Thanks everyone, now I have all these songs going on in my head. I guess empty space fills quick!

And who can forget Grizabella?

She haunted many a low resort
Near the grimy road of Tottenham Court
She flitted about the No-Man's Land
From "The Rising Sun" to "The Friend at Hand"
And the postman sighed as he scratched his head
"You really had thought she ought to be dead
And who would ever suppose that that
Was Grizabella the Glamour Cat!"

Jim, that must have been from "Cats", yes?

Horse with no name

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.....
