All Animal Songs on Jan. 6 Sonic Detour--Please Suggest Animal Songs Here
Duncan Strauss about almost 3 years ago
On Jan. 6, we'll be doing a Talking Animals-oriented edition of the Sonic Detour--which mainly means: all animal songs!
The last time we did this, in June, it was a lot of fun, as we played tunes ranging from The Beatles' "Blackbird" to Tom Waits' "Army Ants" to Neko Case's "I'm An Animal."
We also got a bunch of terrific listener suggestions & requests.
We're hoping we'll get a bunch more for the Jan. 6 show, and we invite you to suggest animal songs--new or old, obscure or well-known--right here.
Thanks!

Already some great suggestions! Thank you! And Scott, this is a very cool list--I think you've hit a lot of the animal BANDS, & maybe someday soon we'll do a show with that theme. For the next one, tho, we're focusing on animal SONGS. Please keep those cards & letters coming, everyone!
