Never would I have thought there would be so many songs about a three-legged dog. I can't say I'm disappointed either, and I will probably never get bored of the three-legged dog.
I tried to recall a 3-legged dog song I've heard before, but alas, one didn't a-cur to me.
I AM all about songs, though, that feature bow-wows with deformities, or at the very least, ones who are down to their last Beggin' Strip (that's from a singing dog album, "Ole Blue Sings the Blues").
While none of these "3-Legged Dog" songs are familiar to me, I've always fancied the old big-band shanty, "Melancholy Baby," which I suppose could be an apt name for a sad-sack bloodhound kinda dog! In fact, that reminds me of a gal I dated in college; and SHE reminded me of a dog we had when I was a kid...so much so, in fact, I called my girlfriend my "melancholy baby."
She wanted to know how she earned that nickname, so, of course I told her: She had a head like a melon, and a face like a collie. Haven't seen her since. Y'know, I don't miss her in the leash.
You really redeemed yourself in that last paragraph! Up until that it was fairly standard Bradisms. But you ended like a true pun-isher. To quote the great Paul Smacko.
Such a fun, original idea! I would never have thought there were so many songs in this particular niche 😁 I liked Wooster’s and Marta O’ Reilly’s tracks best
I had a feeling you would like her! I believe she has some albums that feature her guitar playing quite prominently. I’m just learning about her and there’s a lot of music out there to explore.
A 3 legged dog walks into a bar. Bartender asks "What can I get you?" Dog says "I'm looking for the man who shot my paw". Should be a Johnny Cash song right there...

I like leading the reader into a false sense of pun relief, and then, pounce! Like a kitten hiding behind a chair as you walk by!🙀
I do want to know if any of the 10 songs stood out to you though! I'm sure you have a favorite....though I know you are busy tagging the world...
What’s happier than a 3 legged dog? Nothing.
I can't think of anything. Maybe a 3-legged human.
All new to me Steve!
I am amazed at the number of songs dedicated to this theme!
Me too!

There were so many songs with that title. Glad you liked Wooster and Marty O'Reilly. I dig them all, but those were definitely faves for me too.
Marisa Anderson is my new hero! The Lucinda Williams vibe is spot on and damn - That girl can pick!

Who knew there are so many songs about three-legged pets? I sure didn't. All of these were new to me.
All but one were new to me too! In a way, many people are feeling like 3 legged dogs right now, so hopefully this offers a bit of a respite.

Haha! You beat Brad to the best pun contest! Though I'm sure he will try to best you...
He's the "Pun-isher"...
I have to wonder how all those three legged dogs lost their fourth limb...
Great idea for a short story! They can all be gathered together, telling their stories of how they lost their limbs over bowls of tuna water.
