songs for dogs

• 87% want to hear a song about a toy

PETA informally tested the CD on dogs who accompany PETA staffers to work and found that "Squeaky Deaky," a song about, you guessed it, squeaky toys, piqued dogs' interest while "You're a Good Dog" caused them to relax and close their eyes. But they quickly became alert again when they heard the barking dogs at the beginning of "Adventure Dog."

Don't know about dogs, but cats seem to be more attentive to Baroque than twelve-tone.

"214 dogs were queried as to their preferences in lyrical content and music type"

"My Rottweiler Virgil loves the music so much that we had to get two CDs; one for the house and one for the car.

Don't know about all dogs, but this Jack Russell would be very attentive to baroque as long as it was squea-que.
(Should be a new CD: Squeaky Barokey)

Ok - so this is embarrassing.
(After finding the link to the songs on NPR:)

"My Jack Russell loves the track Squeaky Deaky so much that she ran to the back of the computer, struck a classic HMV pose, and will not move"

This could well rival "Song about the Jay" (with its twin themes of Adventure and Toy) in her affections.

This sentence from
http://www.kimogden.com/id5.html
has been making me laugh:

"214 dogs were queried as to their preferences in lyrical content and music type"

(especially combined with
"• 87% want to hear a song about a toy")
