Bloodhound Gang – "The Bad Touch" (2000)

I want you smothered

Want you covered

Like my Waffle House hash browns

As you know if you read the most recent 2 or 3 lines, I dreamed last week that we had a question about songs with the word “dog” in their titles at our last trivia contest.  That post listed ten dog songs (including “Hound Dog” by Elvis Presley and “I Wanna Be Your Dog” by the Stooges), ten songs with “cat” in their titles (like “What’s New Pussycat” by Tom Jones and “Honky Cat” by Elton John), and ten songs whose titles mentioned animals other than dogs or cats (including “White Rabbit” by Jefferson Airplane and “Free Bird” by Lynyrd Skynyrd).

Today, I’m going to give you my list of the best 25 recording artists with an animal in their name.  Here goes:

  1. Adam Ant

  2. Animals

  3. Beastie Boys

  4. Bloodhound Gang

The Bloodhound Gang

  5. Blue Öyster Cult

  6. Buffalo Springfield

  7. Byrds

  8. Country Joe and the Fish

  9. Crazy Horse

10. Danger Mouse

11. Eagles

12. Eagles of Death Metal

13. Echo & the Bunnymen

14. Great White

15. Iron Butterfly

16. Modest Mouse

17. Monkees

18. Snoop Dogg

19. Steppenwolf

20. T Rex

21. Three Dog Night

22. Toad the Wet Sprocket

23. Toadies

24. Turtles

25. Yardbirds
