Songs with Animal Names in the Title

Here's a topic with a bit of a biological slant. I'm wondering how many songs have different members of the Animal Kingdom mentioned in the title (I'm excluding Homo sapiens here-- not to discriminate but just for the sake of focus 🤓). I happened to meet an octopus during a snorkel a few years ago & have been obsessed with them ever since ... so  I'll start this off with my favorite animal 🐙:

 

Octopus's Garden -- The Beatles

 

 

 PS ... This is not a strict rule but I think it would be nice if we just have one song title per post so each animal gets its own honorable mention. ❤

Good one. Reminds me... Does the name of a dog count?

Puff the Magic Dragon.  I think back when I listened to this and thought what a sweet song.  My grandaughter told me it's about weed.  I think I'll stick with my Magic Dragon and dream about him living by the sea rather than being high on heaven knows what.  They will do anything to take my naivity and make it crazy.

No, no, no . . . tell your granddaughter that the song was never about drugs. It's the sweet, innocent song that you've always believed it to be!! The drug rumor started back in the 60's and was refuted many times by Peter Yarrow, and the author of the poem on which the song is based. 

 

I always loved this song, but it tugs at my heart strings when Jackie Paper grows up and Puff is all alone. But that is exactly what the song is about - children growing up and moving on. 

 

Think Puff, the empty nester . . .
