Animal song:
Rockin' Robin, The Jackson Five
We gotta go to the crappy town where I'm the hero!
Wash ,'Jaynestown'
Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Another Australian one: Powderfinger, "Like A Dog".

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Heard on the radio this morning -- "Convention '72" by the Delegates. If you're a certain age, it's a laugh riot.
It's a Dickie Goodman-style cut-in record where someone goes around, playing the part of a journalist asking questions of various people. The answers are taken from popular songs.
"Convention '72" takes the format to an imaginary joint Republican and Democratic 1972 convention. Which gives Walter Klondike, Dan Stinkley, and Larry Reasoning the chance to interrogate members of both parties.
The catch is, if you don't know (or remember) the political scene in 1972, a lot of the jokes will fly over your head.
(Sample: "Mrs. Mitchell, how do you feel now that your husband is out of politics?" "[cue Donna Fargo] I'm the happiest girl in the whole U.S.A.")
Unforgettable.

There were a whole series of "songs" like that in the '70s. (Not all about politics - I remember one about "Jaws", where it was an interview of the titular shark.)
