Happy International Dog Day! To celebrate this adorable and noble holiday, we thought we’d have a little fun and fetch some of our favorite “dog” songs you should listen to today.
(Get it? Dog…fetch? Fine! They can’t all be winners!)
Anyway, here are eight classic “Dog” songs in honor of International Dog Day.
Originally by Big Mama Thornton, the most popular cover is easily Presley’s, and it’s easily one of the best covers of all time.
A glam epic that swaggers and grooves. As if we needed another reason to miss Bowie!
Okay, not a “dog” song, but it’s Three Dog Night, and “Joy To The World” is a classic.
Nazareth’s biggest hit might be “Love Hurts,” but this is actually the band’s best song.
Any “dog” song list without this Zeppelin classic is just incomplete.
This would become Gaye’s first number-one single. The fact that Smokey Robinson was one of the songwriters and produced the track might have something to do with that, too.
A deep cut off the band’s Pretenders II album, but it’s a good one.
Sure, you may not have realized just how long the title of this Faces song was, but any excuse to add a Faces song to any playlist is a good excuse.
