'Heart Of Gold'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Little Yellow Spider by Devendra Banhart (I think) is chock full of animal goodness.
I thought I had a version of Zez Confrey's "Kitten on the Keys," but apparently not. Anyone?
