Songs By Bands With Animal Names, Vol. 1

I just decided this morning to start a new mini-series of posts featuring songs by bands with animals in their names. Once I got into it, I realized there were way too many of these for just one post. So I've decided to break it down by the types of animals. This post will include canines, felines, and hooved animals. I don't know yet how many of these posts there will end up being, but there will definitely be more. A wide variety of musical styles, both old and new, are represented here. Enjoy!
