What's your dog's song or songs?

Post by jacksdad »

Ok, time a little goofiness.

The other day my wife was joking around and "telling" Jack to stop looking at her with those big brown eyes and acting like he hadn't had dinner yet...which then for god knows what reason flashed me back to Eric Carmen's 80's hit "hungry eye". Well today for some god knows why reason I started thinking of other song titles that fit Jack's different personality quirks. The songs them self don't really match, but boy do the titles.

What song(s) or song titles match up to your dog's different personality quirks?

For Jack and food there is

That stellar 1980's piece of musical masterpiece, Weird Al Yankovic's "Eat It" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcJjMnHoIBI
Eric Carmen's contribution to the Dirty Dancing sound track, "Hungry Eyes" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rI4fzajz3Ok
And lastly Duran Duran's "Hungry Like The Wolf" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOg5VxrRTi0

Didn't really match his personality but Rupert used to go absolutely nuts at Runaway by Del Shannon. I have no idea why.

Neo's would have to be "Bad to the Bone." ((obviously)) :lol: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AozJBa3Q-1s&feature=fvst

Basically all of those lyrics apply to her in one way or another because she truly is bad to the bone :lol: ..

"i broke a thousand hearts before i met you/i'll break a thousand more, baby before i am through".

Still trying to think of one for Abby. I feel like fiancee and I have sung songs to her and about her before, but now I can't remember them.

Ah, my favourite band, and from my home town :D Seem them live sooooo many times, any who I digress.

Ted's song is the self penned "Little black dogs" which I used to sing to him when I first got him. The tune is similar (but not the same) as Santa Claus is Coming to Town and the lyrics are:

Little black dogs,
Little black dogs,
Little black dogs,
Little black dogs,
Little black dogs,
Little black dogs ...

You get the gist :lol: :lol: :lol:

A few songs off-hand that Karma goes crazy over are:

"Jungle Love" by the Steve Miller Band
"Born To Be Wild" by Steppenwolf
"Friends In Low Places" by Garth Brooks


Don't ask me why the last song, she just loves to howl to that one! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hmm.. need to ponder this one for some of mine.

For the late Orange Dog, long time before she left us I made a video of her and put the Nickle Creek track 'When You Come Back Down' to it - its on my youtube channel but the original vid for the song is here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ng5-VUDcjJ8

(I still can't watch the vid I made of her fully without howling!) - there are so many lyrics in this song that are so 'her', but particularly " Angel you were born to fly, and if you get too high, I'll catch you when you fall'.

Still pondering the others!

Hmmm, think I would have to go with "Hungry like a wolf" for Sirius and "Born to Run" for Sky.
Grammy to Sky and Sirius, who came to live with me, stole my heart, and changed my life forever as I took over their care and learned how to be a dog owner.
