Songs By Bands With Animal Names, Vol. 3

Just in case the "Vol. 3" in the title wasn't clear enough, this is the third entry in a mini-series of posts featuring songs by bands with animals in their names. If you haven't seen the first two posts, you can read them here and here. In the first post, I covered canines, felines, and hooved animals. Last time, it was primates, bears, and rodents. This time I'm going with aquatic animals (including fish) and birds. As before, the songs will cover a wide variety of musical styles, both old and new. You may not like them all, but I'm sure you'll enjoy a few of them. You might even be familiar with several of them. Without further ado, here we go...

"Safe" & "Dangerous" Songs

If, when you saw the title of this post, you thought this would be a post about songs that are safe to listen to with your kids in the room, and conversely, songs that are dangerous for your kids or anyone in general to listen to, you would be wrong. These are just a bunch of songs with the words "Safe" and "Dangerous" in their titles. Didn't mean to confuse you there. Enjoy?  ~  JH
