Post The music of HOUSEPETS!
Ok, we have just read the comic with the quote from the awesome 'Mrs. Robinson' by Simon and Garfunkel.
Can we have on this thread the rest of songs the that have been mentioned in these years? I own a title or two, but I'd really like to collect them all, given that Rick got really good taste in music! :D :D

OK, edited title to something more appropriate

So far, our favorite soundtrack consists of:

PURPLE PEOPLE EATER - Sheb Wooley
THE MUSIC OF THE NIGHT( Andrew Lloyd Webber) - MOONLIGHT BAY (Percy Wenrich/Edward Madden) - MOONLIGHT SONATA (Ludwig van Beethoven)
WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD - Louis Armstrong Gives the first arc with King its title
YOU'RE A MEAN ONE MR. GRINCH
SYNDICATED, INC - 'Weird Al' Yancovic
FLUTE AND HARP CONCERTO IN C, K.299 - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
TICKET TO RIDE - The Beatles
ONCE IN A LIFETIME - TALKING HEADS
THE IRISH WASHERWOMAN - Irish Jig
RED RED WINE - Ub 40
MRS. ROBINSON - Simon and Garfunkel
LET'S GO CRAZY - Prince

And then DEVO and QUEEN deserved their own mentioning

If there is anything else, I'll gladly add it to the list! 8-)

Well there was mention of Devo awhile back.
Y'know, the New Wave group from the 70's and 80's who wore the funny looking hats.

There was a reference to The Beatles in this one-off. The song is "She’s got a ticket to ride”

Well, if we decide to go with ALL the music and songs then i guess this spoof song counts too.
I'm sure y'all remember the housepets rendition of "You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch,"from a few years back.

Wow, a good amount of these titles/songs are ones that I have barely heard of, if at all.

Wow, Rick was a fan of Wierd Al Yankovich years before I even came to know about him!
I don't know what is that which I'm feeling for Rick right now,

But if that isn't loooooove,
If that isn't looooo -oo -oo -oove,
If that isn't loooooove,
I don't know what love is!

Same here. Also, I think a certain strip's title was "Red, red wine", wasn't it?

That explains why I had read the name from other sources.

Also, the nupcial march appears on the newest page.

No further explanation needed
Except that we never did figure out which song was stuck in Grape's head >_>

Hmmm, you may want to add this strip as well, since its title and alt-text come from "Once in a lifetime" by Talking Heads.

The arc named "It's a wonderful dog's life" has a few song name it's strips.
The title of the arc could be a reference to "Ah, it's a wonderful cat's life"?
