15. Cool Cat – Queen
This laid-back groove is a good alternative to the top charts, which can often receive excessive radio play, and is one of the many enormous singles that this iconic rock band has brought out in the course of their career.
This music is the ideal representation of the “strutting around” behavior, often known as moving to the “beat of one’s heart,” that people and cats alike are prone to engage in when they are in a relaxed and self-assured state.
16. Mungojerrie And Rumpleteazer – Andrew Lloyd Webber
There is no way to compile an exhaustive collection of songs about pets without including at least one song about those two evil feline felons.
Even though they have a propensity for breaking and stealing possessions and food from the humans in the area, they are, at their core, decent cats. This cheerful music is a lot of fun, and it perfectly captures the exhilaration of being part of a close-knit crew of cat burglars.
17. What’s New Pussycat? – Tom Jones
Even though this song has been played for comedic purposes an endless number of times, it is still an exceptionally well-crafted piece of music.

18. Hamsters By King Missile
Tik Tok users have shown a strong affinity for the song “Hamster” by King Missile III, which has seen widespread success. The strange song describes a man who is walking or running while wearing a belt full of balloons with hamsters hanging off of it.
The underlying message of the song is that if you behave insanely, no one will question the foolish things that you do. They will think that you have lost your mind.
19. Attack of the Radioactive Hamster From a Planet Near Mars By Weird AI
This song has a manic and gorgeous splash of energy, and it’s one of the funniest songs ever written about hamsters. This song has the longest title of any song that Weird Al has ever written for one of his songs.
“Attack of the Radioactive Hamsters from a Planet Near Mars,” the third tune on UHF, shines the light on an even more peculiar aspect of Al’s life and career. The song tells the story of an alien hamster invasion coming from a planet close to Mars. It is completely absurd and illogical.
