Songs About Seagulls

Raise your hand if you thought I, or anyone, could find 25 Songs About Seagulls that are actually worth listening to. Well, I can't see your hands since this is the Internet and all. But I hope you have that kind of confidence in me. Because here they are. I'm sure you will...enjoy!  ~  JH



1)  Bad Lip Reading  ~  “Seagulls! (Stop It Now)”  (Instant comedy classic right here! I dare ya to only watch/listen once! I sure can’t.)

7)  Be-Bop Deluxe  ~  “Sister Seagull”




8)  Engelbert Humperdinck  ~  “Lesbian Seagull”  (This song...I can't even. The fact that it was part of the soundtrack to the Beavis And Butthead movie pretty much explains everything, I suppose.)

10)  Kimya Dawson  ~  “Angels And Seagulls”




11)  Tuohi Quartet  ~  “Seagull”

22)  Kate Nash  ~  “I Hate Seagulls”




23)  Van Susans  ~  “Seagulls”




24)  Joni Mitchell  ~  “Song To A Seagull”




25)  Joe Bonamassa  ~  “Seagull”  (This is the same song as the one by Bad Company above. But it's equally beautiful in its own right, thanks to some gorgeous instrumentation by Joe and his band.)

Popular Songs Of 1967, Vol. 1

It was the Summer of Love. The Vietnam War was in full swing. The Apollo 1 spacecraft exploded on the launchpad, killing all three of its occupants. And these were the songs that folks were listening to. Psychedelic rock was all the rage, but Beatlemania and Motown weren't going away anytime soon. A unique time in American (and world) history, but one that was absolutely chock full of great tunes. Part 1 of 4 of the Popular Songs of 1967 begins now... Enjoy!  ~  JH
