Snapshots Spillover: More Horse Songs


There were lots of horsey songs I couldn't fit into this weekend's Snapshots, from the obvious stallions...

Rolling Stones - Wild Horses

Echo & The Bunnymen - Bring on the Dancing Horses

The Osmonds - Crazy Horses

To the old reliable carthorses...

Racing Cars - They Shoot Horses, Don't They?

Jacky - White Horses

KT Tunstall - Black Horse And The Cherry Tree

Siouxsie & The Banshees - Swimming Horses

And some that were rarer than unicorn droppings...

The Irish Rovers - The Unicorn Song

The Newcomers - Pin The Tail On The Donkey

Dee Clark - Ride A Wild Horse

Disco Tex & The Sex-O-Lettes - Ride A Wild Horse

Any Trouble - Rocking Horse

That Petrol Emotion - Dance Your Ass Off

The Black Crowes - Appaloosa

Len Marten - Champion Red Rum

The Raglan Four - Shergar Song

Wild Flag - Racehorse

Here's one I've been listening to a lot lately, from a masked man on horseback...

About This Blog

Just the humble witterings of a middle-aged music fan from the north of England. I don't claim these lists to be definitive, I haven't heard every record ever produced (though I have heard a good number of them), I don't believe my opinion to be any more valid than yours.

I just like listening to old songs from my record collection and writing about them. Your recommendations are always welcome... if I've missed your favourite - let me know in the comments.
