“Cock” & “Bull” Songs

You may not believe it's true, but these "Cock" & "Bull" Songs are merely a collection of tunes with one or both of these words in their titles. And they are all, surprisingly, quite enjoyable. But I'm sure you're not buying that flimsy excuse. Enjoy?  ~  JH



1)  Mitzi Gaynor  ~  “A Cock-Eyed Optimist”




2)  Rage Against The Machine  ~  “Bulls On Parade”




3)  Foghorn Leghorn  ~  “Cock O’ The Walk”




4)  Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass  ~  “The Lonely Bull”




5)  Bird Radio  ~  “Who Killed Cock Robin?”




6)  Jenny Lewis  ~  “Red Bull & Hennessy”




7)  The Wiggles  ~  “Ride A Cock-Horse”




8)  Switchfoot  ~  “Bull In A China Shop”




9)  Lee Hazlewood's Woodchucks  ~  “Bangkok Cock Fight”




10)  Merle Haggard & Leona Williams  ~  “The Bull And The Beaver”




11)  Da Camera  ~  “Cock Up Your Beaver”  (I feel the need to clarify this title. The beaver in this phrase refers to a hat made from felted beaver fur, and cocking refers to the turning up of the brim, often on three sides, as was popular in 18th century America.)




12)  Kip Moore  ~  “The Bull”




13)  Odd Hugo - Can You Tell The Difference Between A Cock & A Hen?”
