Some insect options:
U2, "The Fly"
Adam and the Ants, "Antmusic"
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.

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.)

I didn't list any insect ones... figured they might rate their own mix.

Are you people never satisfied?!?
Actually, I interpreted animal pretty loosely and was more than expecting to get a sound thrashing from Mr. tea.
tommyrot, "Mr. Jaws" was a Dickie Goodman record. "Convention '72" is just -- wilder. Imagine (if you can) Henry Kissinger roaming all over the convention floor, chanting, "Gotta find a woman! Gotta find a woman!"
Hot pants! Hot pants!

Well, in that case...
