Ever since Patti Page sang "How much is that Doggie in the Window," songs about dogs have remained popular. After all, dogs are man's best friend; it would only make sense that we would immortalize them in song. Let's have some fun and look at some of the famous "dog songs" and some of the lyrics that endear dogs to us.
Famous Love
The Fauves, a band from Australia tell us that, "Dogs Are The Best People" in their song by that title on their album Flashlight. Way back in 1965, Davy Jones of The Monkees recorded the song, "Gonna Buy Me a Dog," where he claims that he's gonna buy him a dog because he needed a friend now. Then there was Lobo with the hit "Me and You and a Dog Named Boo."
Famous Songs About Dogs
It's just ironic that the musician Cat Stevens would write a song called, "I Love My Dog." But the lyrics are true-to-life as they say:
"I love my dog as much as I love you
But you may fade, my dog will always come through.
All he asks from me is the food to give him strength
All he ever needs is love and that he knows he'll get"
Who can forget Snoopy's Christmas a/k/a Snoopy vs. The Red Baron? And how many middle-aged people can still sing the Scooby Doo Theme Song? What about "There was a farmer had a dog and Bingo was his name-o!" and "Oh Where, Oh Where Has My Little Dog Gone?"
If you're into country music, you might know "You Gotta Quit Kickin' My Dog Around."
The Byrds had a hit with "Old Blue," with the lyrics:
"My old Blue he was a good old hound
You'd hear him hollering miles around
When I get to Heaven first thing I'll do
I'll grab my horn and call for Blue"
Elvis had a tune called "Old Shep" that told us:
"When I was a lad
And Old Shep was a pup
Over hills and meadows we'd stray
Just a boy and his dog
We were both full of fun
We grew up together that way"
The lyrics to the Pet Shop Boys song, "I Want A Dog" say:
"I want a dog,
To walk in the park
When it gets dark, my dog will bark
At any passers-by
Oh, (oh oh) you can get lonely
I want a dog"
Blake Shelton sang "Ol' Red" with the lyrics:
"Now Ol' Red he's the damnedest dog that I've ever seen
Got a nose that can smell a two day trail
He's a four legged tracking machine
You can consider yourself mighty lucky
To get past the gators and the quicksand beds
But all these years that I've been here
Ain't nobody got past Red"
Brother and sister team The Fiery Furnaces, tell us in their song, "My Dog was Lost But Now He's Found,":
"I kicked my dog
I was mean to him before
I guess that's why he walked out my door
I really wish I could see him some more
I looked under the mats and I asked all the cats
I went to the vet have you heard anything yet
My dog was lost but now he's found
My dog was lost but now he's found"
And then again, some songs that we think are about dogs aren't really about dogs at all, such as Led Zeppelin's "Black Dog," Elvis Presley's "Hound Dog," George Clinton's "Atomic Dog," and the popular song a couple of years ago by The Baha Men, "Who Let The Dogs Out." For instance, "Golden Retriever" by Super Furry Animals is really about a gold-digging woman, as is "Hair of the Dog" by Nazareth.
There will continue to be songs about dogs because we love them so much. There will be silly kid songs, funny country songs, and serious love songs - all about dogs.
Metade - Oswaldo Montenegro Video Clips.
Edição de imagens com a música/poesia "Metade" de Oswaldo Montenegro Composição: Oswaldo Montenegro Que a força do medo que tenho Não me impeça de ver o que anseio. Que a morte de tudo em que acredito Não me tape os ouvidos ea boca Porque metade de mim é o que eu grito Mas a outra metade é silêncio. Que a música que ouço ao longe Seja linda ainda que tristeza Que a mulher que eu amo seja pra sempre amada Mesmo que distante Porque metade de mim é partida Mas a outra metade é saudade. Que as palavras que falo Não sejam ouvidas como prece e nem repetidas com fervor Apenas respeitadas Como a única coisa que resta a um homem inundado de sentimentos Porque metade de mim é o que ouço Mas a outra metade é o que calo. Que essa minha vontade de ir embora Se transforme na calma e na paz que eu mereço E que essa tensão que me corrói por dentro Seja um dia recompensada Porque metade de mim é o que penso Mas a outra metade é um vulcão. Que o medo da solidão se afaste E que o convívio comigo mesmo se torne ao menos suportável Que o espelho reflita em meu rosto um doce sorriso Que eu me lembro ter dado na infância Por que metade de mim é a lembrança do que fui A outra metade eu não sei. Que não seja preciso mais que uma simples alegria Pra me fazer aquietar o espírito E que o teu silêncio me fale cada vez mais Porque metade de mim é abrigo Mas a outra metade é cansaço. Que a arte nos aponte uma resposta Mesmo que ela não saiba E que ninguém a tente complicar Porque é preciso simplicidade ...Love Quotes
