This Coffee Break is a special one for Minnesota basketball fans. We’re celebrating our Minnesota Timberwolves’ most-impressive playoff run in 20 years. Sunday night, the Wolves were in Denver to play the Nuggets in Game 7 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
We decided no matter how the game turned out that we’d want to send love to the team with songs that reference the team’s name. Let’s find songs that have a wolf or wolves in the lyrics. Dig up some tunes that refer to howling or just feature a good howl. And, while we’re at it, are there musicians with a lupine (relating to wolves) name we can play?
For today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, which songs mentioning wolves would you like to hear?
