Last night’s Top Comments was very Pootie-centric, and I suppose I must now out myself once and forever as primarily a Dog Person. As befits my status as a Canine Afficianado as well as a Music Lover, let’s hop below the story break and make some noise with songs about or mentioning dogs…
Here at Top Comments we welcome longtime as well as brand new Daily Kos readers to join us at 10pm Eastern. We strive to nourish community by rounding up some of the site's best, funniest, most mojo'd & most informative commentary, and we depend on your help!! If you see a comment by another Kossack that deserves wider recognition, please send it either to topcomments at gmail or to the Top Comments group mailbox by 9:30pm Eastern. Please please please include a few words about why you sent it in as well as your user name (even if you think we know it already :-)), so we can credit you with the find!
- Hound Dog —Jerry Leiber & Mike Stoller — The Elvis version is the best known, but this amazing first recording in 1953 was by Big Mama Thornton.
- Who Let The Dogs Out — Baha Men — We STILL don’t know the answer to this question, do we?
- Black Dog — Led Zeppelin — Did you know the title of this song refers to the nameless black lab wandering around the recording studio at the time?
- Dog Days Are Over — Florence + The Machine — An all-around fun song to listen to!
- (How Much Is) That Doggie In The Window — Patti Page — Remember folks, rescue dogs!!
- Dogs — Pink Floyd — The longest song I’ve got for you tonight, referencing Orwell’s Animal Farm, and their combative dogs.
- Hey Bulldog — The Beatles — Just to mix it up, here’s a version from 2014 by Dave Grohl and Jeff Lynde. I would, however, be remiss if I didn’t also take this opportunity to share my beloved Brad Delp-fronted Beatlejuice version.
What pup songs are on YOUR mind tonight… or, in the spirit of acceptance, pootie songs. Please share in the comments after perusing our trio of Top Comments, Pictures and Mojo brought tonight by the biggest-hearted man I know, BeninSC!
Brillig's ObDisclaimer: The decision to publish each nomination lies with the evening's Diarist and/or Comment Formatter. My evenings at the helm, I try reeeeallllyy hard to publish everything without regard to content. I really do, even when I disagree personally with any given nomination. "TopCommentness" lies in the eyes of the nominator and of you, the reader - I leave the decision to you. I do not publish self-nominations (ie your own comments) and if I ruled the world, we'd all build community, supporting and uplifting instead of tearing our fellow Kossacks down.
Note: Please remember that comment inclusion in Top Comments does not constitute support or endorsement by diarist, formatter, Top Comments writers or DailyKos. Questions, complaints or comments? Contact brillig.

In reply to this comment by keithl about the common denominators in Individual Less Than 1’s bs, comes this fine reply by Pappadaddyo. (Paying attention, they HATE that! Their only saving grace is that THEIR voters don’t do it.)

In the SAME diary! Is this comment by Ambular on misconceptions regarding civility in dialogue!
