Here, for your hearing delectation, is an AMAZING ANIMAL MIX.

This is a mix in which all the songs are either A) About and animal or B) Sung to an animal. No metaphors or euphamisms. I tried to be pretty strict, but there are a couple on there that, honestly, are only tangentially about animals, but are mostly just good songs.

If anybody has any good songs to add to it let me know, and I’ll make a part two!

Here’s the tracklist:

1. The 6ths - San Diego Zoo
2. Nina Nastasia - A Dog’s Life
3. El Perro Del Mar - Dog
4. Nick Drake - Black Eyed Dog
5. Bayless Rose - Black Dog Blues
6. Tommy Settlers And His Blues Moaner - Big Bed Bug (Bed Bug Blues)
7. Peggy Honeywell - bower bird
8. The Mountain Goats - Snow Owl
9. Nick Drake - Strange Meeting I / Bird Flew By
10. Iron & Wine - Bird Stealing Bread
11. Keren Ann - Spanish song bird
