Because I'm such a dog nerd, and because it's so funny, I've kept a list of all the songs that make young Cooper Squish Hawkes yowl like a demented timber wolf with a beaver biting its bollocks... and because I've done very little other than self-abuse, napping and random Internet browsing today, I want to show you the list:


Proud Mary - Creedence Clearwater Revival

London Calling - The Clash*

I Fought The Law - The Clash*

Psycho Killer - Talking Heads

Black Dog - Led Zeppelin

Whole Lotta Love - Led Zeppelin

Heartbreaker - Led Zeppelin

Fire - The Crazy World of Arthur Brown

Rocky Mountain Way - Joe Walsh

Take a Walk On The Wild Side - Lou Reed (just the saxophone solo)

Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick - Ian Dury

Hello, I Love You - Doors

Please Don't Go - Them

Another Brick In The Wall - Pink Floyd

Hold Your Head Up - Argent

Blitzkrieg Bop - Ramones*

Texas Chainsaw Massacre - Ramones

Don't Bring Me Down - ELO

Deep Purple - Knocking At Your Back Door (just the intro, thankfully)

Edit - July 27 2005:

Pressure Point - The Zutons

You Showed Me - Lightning Seeds

The Joker - Steve Miller band

Minnie The Moocher - Cab Calloway

So It Goes - Nick Lowe

The Cure's cover version of "Hello, I Love You"

Edit July 30 2005:

Wild Boys - Duran Duran

Edit July 31st 2005

For the last two days he's reacted to every Ramones song I have on my playlist. *sigh*

Edit August 12th 2005

Games Without Frontiers - Peter Gabriel

Rock Lobster - B52s

Wild Witch Lady - Donovan

Edit Aug 30th 2005:

The Last Time - Rolling Stones. It's the twangly guitar that does it.

Edit October 10th 2005:

Closer - Nine Inch Nails

L.A Woman - The Doors

Transplants - Diamonds And Guns

Edit November 13th 2005

Last Resort - Papa Roach

Edit November 19th 2005

Pirate Love - Johnny Thunders

Edit January 4th 2006

Hi Ho Silver Lining - The Mavericks

Edit January 26th 2006

Piece Of My Heart - Janis Joplin

Edit April 3rd 2006

Professor Longhair's Blues Rhumba (instrumental)

Edit June 15th 2006

Love Shack - B52s

Edit July 6th 2006

Back In The USSR - Leningrad Cowboys

Edit July 16th 2006

Rapture - Blondie

Piece Of My Heart - New York Dolls (live)

Edit July 28th 2006

Cool For Cats - Squeeze

Cracking Up - Nick Lowe

Edit August 3rd 2006

No One Knows - Queens Of The Stone Age

Edit August 13th 2006

Grave Robbing In Gig Harbour - The Men They Couldn't Hang

Edit September 1st 2006

Dog Eat Dog, Jolly Roger, Kings Of The Wild Frontier - Adam and the Ants

Ca Plane Pour Moi - Plastic Bertrand

Edit September 6th 2006

The Music never Stopped - Grateful Dead - it's Donna Bloody Godchaux and her failure to hold anything resembling a tune that sets him off with this one. Can't say as I blame him.

Edit September 8th 2006

Blues For Allah - Grateful Dead

Edit October 11th 2006

Sixteen Tons - Johnny Cash

Space Trucking - Deep Purple

Highway Star - Deep Purple (mildly)

Don't Bring Me Down - Status Quo (cover version of the ELO song)

London Calling - Captain Tractor (wildly different cover of the Clash song)



*I've tried him with several cover versions of "London Calling", "I Fought The Law" and "Blitzkrieg Bop", and I get the same reaction, so evidently it's the actual tune that sets him off. Or maybe the lyrics, who knows? He reacts especially intensely to The Exploited's version of London Calling and the Dead Kennedys' version of "I Fought The Law".

Also, the punk songs provoke shrill, staccato yawps and yelps, while the more melodious ones like "Rocky Mountain Way" and "Don't Bring Me Down" produce softer, longer howls. He's much more discriminating with music than he is with food, bless his annoying little heart...

Here he is singing along to "Whole Lotta Love": http://homepage.ntlworld.com/lizblackdog/squishhowl.wav


Am still too rampantly horny to think. Roll on tomorrow.
