🎶It's a musical Monday morning!
Pets don’t just steal our hearts… they steal the spotlight in songs too! From dogs and cats to imaginary pet adventures, here’s a playlist of tunes inspired by the animals we love:
🎵 “Martha My Dear” – The Beatles
A sweet tribute to Paul McCartney’s sheepdog. 🐶
🎵 “Delilah” – Queen
Freddie Mercury wrote this for his favorite cat—and even meows in it. 😻
🎵 “I Love My Dog” – Cat Stevens
Because some love stories start with a wagging tail. 🐾
🎵 “Old Shep” – Elvis Presley
Warning: this one’s a real tearjerker. 💔
🎵 “The Puppy Song” – Harry Nilsson
Because who hasn’t daydreamed about getting a puppy?
🎵 “Man of the Hour” – Norah Jones
An ode to her poodle, who apparently beat out all the men. 🐩💅
🎵 “Seamus the Dog” – Pink Floyd
Featuring actual howling. By Seamus. The dog. 🎤🐕
🎵 “Cracker Jack” – Dolly Parton
A childhood pup remembered with all the heart and sparkle only Dolly can deliver. ✨
🎵 “Bron-Y-Aur Stomp” – Led Zeppelin
A love song to Robert Plant’s dog. Yes, Zeppelin had a soft side. 🎸🐕
🎵 “Shannon” – Henry Gross
Inspired by the passing of Carl Wilson’s (of the Beach Boys) beloved Irish Setter. 🌊🐾
🎵 “Diamond Dogs” – David Bowie
Okay, it’s not about a real dog—but it’s glam rock, dystopia, and canines all rolled into one.
🎵 “Atomic Dog” – George Clinton
Funky, weird, and iconic. Barking included. 🕺🐶
🎵 “How Much is That Doggie in the Window?” – Patti Page
The OG pet anthem. 🎶🐕
Whether it’s rock, funk, pop, or soul—pets are always muses. 💛
