Great song, though, actually.)

“Zoo” Songs

I love the zoo, and you should too! There's so many things to see and do. Here's some songs that fit this theme. More songs, in fact, than it would seem. Apparently, these artists do, in fact, also enjoy the zoo.  ~  JH



1)  Scorpions  ~  “The Zoo”




2)  U2  ~  “Zoo Station”




3)  Front 242  ~  “Animal (Zoo)”




4)  Tom Petty  ~  “Zombie Zoo”

8)  Simon & Garfunkel  ~  “At The Zoo”




9)  Built To Spill  ~  “Living Zoo”




10)  Guided By Voices  ~  “Pimple Zoo”




11)  Bisquit  ~  “Zoo Zoo”




12)  Dennis Locorriere  ~  “Jungle To The Zoo”  (If you’re wondering who this guy is, he’s the lead singer for Dr. Hook. If that fact still means nothing to you, then never mind. It’s not all that important anyway.)




13)  Jónsi  ~  “We Bought A Zoo”




14)  The Flaming Lips  ~  “Christmas At The Zoo”  (I know it’s not Christmastime, but this is a gleefully odd song that I’d be remiss not to include here. So there!)

16)  Herb Alpert  ~  “Zoo Train”




17)  Phlake  ~  “Angel Zoo”
