My Gen X Playlist: Dog Eat Dog – Adam and the Ants

Daily writing prompt

Dogs or cats?

Growing up we had a golden retriever and chow chow mix. She was a medium sized dog, not too big and not too small. She was cute and fluffy – but the best thing was that she looked like a little lion. Without fail, little kids would run over to hug and pet her every time we took her for a walk. I’m not sure if she enjoyed all of the attention and little hands, but she patiently accepted their love. She was a beautiful dog and brought a lot of joy to our family.

Even though reminiscing about our childhood dog gives me the warm and fuzzies, thinking about dog songs for the playlist takes a left turn in the direction of Adam and the Ants’ Dog Eat Dog. Definitely not your warm and fuzzy song, but you got to love the tribal drums. When I first discovered Adam and the Ants, the music was a little confusing because it was a bit out there. There was just something about it that made it stick. Check out their album Kings of the Wild Frontier album if you have a little time on your hands.

…who else would place all their chips on antmusic, doubling down on the double drums, tuneful chanting, punk guitars, stylish braggadocio and an unhealthy obsession with pirates, cowboys and Indians…

You may not like the things we do
Only idiots ignore the truth

It's easy to lay down and hide
Where's the warrior without his pride?

We're gonna move real good
We're gonna dress so fine
It's dog eat dog eat dog eat dog eat dog eat dog eat dog eat dog eat dog
Leapfrog the dog
And brush me, daddy-o

It's easy to lay down and hide
Where's the warrior without his pride?

You may not like the things we say
What's the difference, anyway?

We're gonna move real good
We're gonna dress so fine
It's dog eat dog eat dog eat dog eat dog eat dog eat dog eat dog eat dog
Leapfrog the dog
And brush me daddy-o

It makes me proud, so proud of you
I see innocence shining through

It makes me proud, so proud of you
I see innocence shining through

It makes me proud, so proud of you
I see innocence shining through
