Lameass dog lover needs music recommendations
November 2, 2008 9:58 PM Subscribe
Music recommendations, please. I am putting together a little video to celebrate my doggie's birthday, and need recommendations for a soundtrack, preferably acoustic guitar, something happy--something that says "I love this dog as much as it is possible for one being to love another; in fact, she saved my life" but without lyrics because I can't stand sappy crap like that. Yes, I am a lameass when it comes to music. Yes, I needed help choosing music for my own wedding. Thank you for your help.
Feed Jake, which I know of thanks to a MeFi Music Swap.

I know you said no lyrics, but Cat Stevens' I love my dog (as much as I love you) is just to the wry side of sappy, and seems like it'd be perfect.

I just found that incredible Gypsy version of Super Mario Bros.2 theme by Adrian Holovaty yesterday.

Joy by Apollo 100 is a happy, peppy tune; a good soundtrack for "romping and playing with pup" scenes.
And even though it has lyrics, I think Beautiful Sunday is such an upbeat, pretty song that it, too, would work for you.

Response by poster: Thanks everyone! Although I didn't end up using any of these suggestions, following the various links eventually led me to the two songs I did use: Bill Frisell's Good Dog, Happy Man and I Love My Dog by Will Thomas. Judging by the number of people who started crying while watching my video, I deem it a success!
