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.)

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.)
