24 Jan 01 - 02:28 PM (#381454) Subject: Tunes with animal sounds From: GUEST,petr Ive always enjoyed collecting tunes that imitate animal sounds (primarily fiddle tunes) ones I can think of offhand are Whoa Mule an old time fiddle tune that has some mule sounding effects. There are also a couple of Tommy Peoples tunes Mouse in the cupboard and the Fat Cat (I think) which sound like a mouse scurrying around and a cat meowing and purring. Also the Tennesse fox chase which is about as close to program music as Irish music gets, with hounds barking and horns blowing. the jig geese in the bog also reminds me a bit of geese (especially on the pipes) Any other suggestions? petr (theres also OBS which really does sound like a train to me although thats not an animal) |

24 Jan 01 - 02:50 PM (#381465) Subject: RE: Help: Tunes with animal sounds From: Joe Offer Petr, are these songs you're seeking just ones where the instruments make animal sounds? I know a number of songs where the singer makes animal sounds - one is De Colores. Then there's a pig song that I can't find just now - Ewan McVicar and Bert Hansel sing equally disgusting versions, and I love them both. -Joe Offer- |

MattR weighs in with a classic farm yard noise song that Bert sings, the Bert posts Flight of the Bumblebee. It has words??? I can't even think that fast ; ) Bonzo Dog Band did a tune quite a few years back called Jollity Farm. I'd highly recommend it. Lucius |

Ya'll missed Listen to the Mockingbird and I do cat sounds--yowl, fight, and "meow" in Alley Cat. Slide up and down the string until you find the right sound..... |

25 Jan 01 - 06:12 PM (#382591) Subject: RE: Help: Tunes with animal sounds From: GUEST "The Dance of the Bumble Bees" - is fairly descriptive, I think it was written by one of the Lennon family but Altan do it on one of their albums. "The Fox Hunt" as played by Mickey Doherty has hounds, foxes and galloping horses all on the fiddle. Does "Paddy's Rambles through the Park" count as the fiddle is trying to sound like a Banshee - as recorded by Johnny Doherty. Ian S |

26 Jan 01 - 09:44 AM (#382991) Subject: RE: Help: Tunes with animal sounds From: GUEST,Cheryl, guest Pete Seeger put out a great kids' album called Birds, Beasts, Bugs and Fishes which I wore out when my eldest was a tot. Searched for it for years and then found it, of course, on Mudcat. All songs relate to animals and some, particularly the The Bullfrog song, employ a kind of talking blues format where Pete's voice and the instruments (banjo in this case) imitate various animals. |
