Fun Trivia: A : Animals in Songs

Special Sub-Topic: Cats and Dogs Singing Together


What song contains the line "Well I don't know where they come from but they sure do come"?

    Cat Scratch Fever. The lyric is the opening line in the song by Ted Nugent.

Which type of dog was mentioned in the lyrics of 'Lodi' and 'On Broadway'?
    Greyhound. The references in both songs are to the Greyhound Bus company. "I came in on a Greyhound, I'll be walking out when I go," is the line from 'Lodi,' and "I'll catch a Greyhound bus for home, they all say," is the line from 'On Broadway.'

    Lion. "Wimoweh" or "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" was a hit for the Tokens in the early 1960's.

What line follows "Mouth is alive with juices like wine"?
    and I'm hungry like the wolf.. From "Hungry like the Wolf" by Duran Duran. The video for this song was filmed in Sri Lanka, which I don't believe has any native wolves.

Which of the following is an album title by Natalie Merchant?
    Tigerlily. The tigerlily (Lilium lancifolum) probably has little to do with tigers (Panthera tigris) except for their color.

Which of the following is the title of a Smashing Pumpkins album?
    Melon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. Okay, this was just my excuse to try to come up with some equally bad wordplay.

    a wildcat. "Outside in the distance, a wildcat did growl, two riders were approaching, and the wind began to howl." are the last words in the song.

    Coyote. This song has interesting lyrics. Coyote is sort of used as a proper noun.

What is the name of the person who was being addressed in a song by both the Ad Libs and Manhattan Transfer?
    Kitty. "Oo ah oo ah oo oo Kitty, Tell us about the boy from New York City." is the lyric in question. The Manhattan Transfer redid the Ad Libs version in the mid-1970s.

What song by Big Mama Thornton was recorded by another artist and went to number 1 on the Billboard Charts?
    Hound Dog. The other version was performed by Elvis Presley. Given the theme of this quiz, it probably would have been a give away if I mentioned who the other artist was.

In Bob Dylan's song "Like a Rolling Stone," what does the diplomat carry on his shoulder?
    A Siamese cat. "You used to ride on your chrome horse with your diplomat, who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat" is the line from the song. With Dylan lyrics, anything is possible. Leopard-Skin Pillbox Hat is the title of another song by Dylan.

Which of the following is a song by Led Zeppelin?
    Black Dog. Black Dog is never mentioned in the lyrics of the song.

    I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree.. "Misty" was written by Errol Garner and performed by Johnny Mathis in 1959.

    Year of the Cat. Year of the Cat was first performed by Al Stewart in the 1970's. It was later recorded by Lemonheads.

What song by Norma Tenega was released in 1966? (Remember the theme of this quiz)
    walkin' my cat named dog & walking my cat named dog. Although this song is fairly obscure, it did reach the Top 20 in 1966. It does fit in well with the theme to this quiz.
