9:30 Coffee Break: Horse songs

January 31, 2014

Horses near Nisswa

Today is the first day of Chinese New Year, and it's the Year of the Horse. There's obviously only one topic appropriate for today's 9:30 Cofee Break: horse songs!

We're looking for songs that feature horse in the title - or prominently in the lyrics - the word "horse" or any other equine-oriented term (pony. Stallion, filly ... any such thing is acceptable).

Songs played:

Echo and the Bunnymen "Bring on the Dancing Horses"

Eddy Arnold "Tennessee Stud"

The Beatles "Dig a Pony"

The Osmonds "Crazy Horses"

Moby "Pale Horses"

The Rolling Stones "Wild Horses"
