"I'm A King Bee" - The Rolling Stones

(The internet search told me that bees are both insects and animals, so I'm going with that!)      🙂

[Kathy in Alaska]

No meaning assigned . Your song is just fine. Thanks...((HUGS))

Ally Cat - Al Hirt

[Songcraft]

"White Rabbit" - Jefferson Airplane

[Michael.SF.]

This song has two versions by Joe Turner, a cleaned-up version (aimed at the white market) and one with the double entendres included (aimed at the club circuit), such as this one:

Shake Rattle and Roll _- Big Joe Turner

"I'm like a one-eyed cat
Peepin at the sea food store
When I look at you
I can tell you ain't no child no more

Had the pleasure of seeing him and meeting him at the Nugget on the campus of CSULB, probaably about '1979.

[EinNYC]

“Memories” (from Cats)
“Wildfire”
“The Camptown Races”

[Michael.SF.]

Thank you for that

Lotte Lenya's version, of course is the original (if memory serves, her husband wrote the song?)

I think all three versions are great in their own way (Bobby Darrin being the third)

[Songcraft]

"Spiders and Snakes" - Jim Stafford

[Michael.SF.]

LOL. Forgot that one!

Here is the original version:

King Bee -- Slim Harpo

I don't think Slim Harpo got the wide range of recognition that he deserved as a swamp blues original

"Nashville Cats" - The Lovin' Spoonful

[Savage Beast]

Here Comes Peter Cottontail
There'll Be Bluebirds over the White Cliffs of Dover
How Much Is That Doggie in the Window?
Goodbye Old Paint
Chickorie Chick
I Ain't Gonna Take It Settin' Down
You Ain't Nothin' but a Hound Dog
The Hot Canary
Shine Little Glow Worm
We Are Siamese If You Please
Mule Train
Sheep May Safely Graze
Green Anaconda
When the Red Red Robin Comes Bob Bob Bobbin' Along
Puff the Magic Dragon
Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer
Down in the Meadow in a Little Bitty Pool Swam Three Little Fishies and a Mama Fishie Too
Mairzy Doats and Dozy Doats and Liddle Lamzy Divey

[Songcraft]

Good version.   (I think you're right about Slim.)
