Mixtape #4 - Animals

God save the animals, literally. Ever since hearing TTNG’s Animals in college, I’ve always been fascinated with songs named after animals. In the case of the UK math rock band’s debut album, each song attempted to capture and embody the energy of each respective critter, and they did a great job. Outside of TTNG, the trend of naming a track after an animal is a surprisingly pervasive approach to song titling. In this playlist, I attempt to collect any instance I stumble across, resulting in a sprawling, genre-less collection of songs with nothing more than a superficial connection to the animal kingdom.
