CF Weekend Playlist – Animal Tracks
EDIT: Due to a copyright claim from ASCAP, we are no longer allowed to let you guys listen to our playlists here on CF. If you want to listen to the playlist, from now on, you have to click over to Playlist.com to do so! Sorry for the inconvenience – we’re bummed as you are about it.
Bands have been drawing inspiration from the animal kingdom for years. From the Arctic Monkeys to the Beatles to Cobra Starship, all kinds of creatures have made their way into song titles and band names. There are so many great animal-named bands, in fact, that I had a hard time choosing just 15 for this playlist! So let me know what you think, and I just might have to do a Part 2!
As always, you can download and listen to the tracks on the playlist and on YouTube below. Have a great Friday!

Love this playlist! I have the Unicorns on my iPod, who suck, but they are animals, I guess.

Andrew Bird! He played at my school (USC) in February. He was outstanding. I loved every second of the concert. I loved him before it, but I came out loving him even more.
Alexandra Fitzmorris
Furr by Blitzen Trapper
Unicorn by Dr. Dog
Piggies by The Beatles
