Day 4: A song that mentions an animal

Hmm, so many to choose from.
So let’s go for something a little different. It’s not so much a song as music with naration.
My parents had a recording of this on LP, which I used to enjoy listening to as a boy.
I’ve always loved Prokofiev’s characterisations of the animals in his very clever instrumentation.

Peter and the Wolf by Sergei Prokofiev - Academy of London Orchestra - Narrated by John Gielgud

Day 4: A song that mentions an animal

I've used this song before, which I try not to do, but this is perfect for my mood today.

"Ah, you know I'm gonna have me a little fun
I got a candle -- I can get a lot of reading done"

Oh, song, you know me so well.

"Somewhere the sun is shining
On this world, but not for me."

Bittersweet, but you have to dance. You have to.

"Belly of the Whale," Burning Sensations

Such a good song and example of words not matching the music

My alternate choice!

Or matching perfectly, at least for me, but that's me.

And you have to dance at least a little in that chorus, just your feet if naught else.

Seeing as we're at the National Aquarium this morning, I think some ocean life is fitting.

'70's music has a way of making you... contemplate yourself, and your role in the universe. There's a soul to certain songs which is hard to find in other decades.

The first time I heard this song it caught me completely off guard. I just sat there, staring at dad's car radio, transfixed. Once it was over, I looked up and we just shared one of those knowing moments. Yeah... Haven't thought about that day in a long time.

Miss you dad

Alessi Brothers - Seabird

I won’t say the rise of cocaine ruined music. But it sure did change it.

What about Marijuana? I have a feeling some of the best music has been made while high on that stuff.

Yeah I have a very superficial and totally unsupported theory that the transition from Heroine and pot to cocaine is one of the defining features of the 80’s. And mostly Ronald Reagan’s fault.

Year of the Cat -Al Stewart
Was going to go in a completely different direction, but then this came to mind. Haven't heard it in years...

I thought about this one. It has one of the finest opening verses ever. I love Stewart (saw him live last year, and he still rocks it.)
