Pun Fun 9: The Contenders

The entries are now in for the pun equivalent of Crufts and the FiFe Cat Show. And what a bunch they are. Some pedigree, some mongrel, some that made me purr and some that are just plain barking.

There are notably more puns related to dogs than cats. That does not necessarily mean that most of you lot are dog lovers not cat people but I have assumed that to be the case when selecting the videos below.

Here is the full list of contenders:

1. Just The Way You Arf - Billy Joel

2. Collie – Blondie

3. Whippet - Devo

4. Spaniel - Elton John

5. Spayed In Full - Eric B & Rakim

6. A Moggy Day In London Town - Frank Sinatra

7. Bengal-right Now – Free

8. All Along The Cat Tower - Jimi Hendrix

9. Petsagetabitarockin - Joe Strummer & The 101 Dalmatians

10. A Boy Named Shih Zhu - Johnny Cash

11. Fairytale of New Yorkie -  Kirsty McCollie & Shane MacBowWowWowan

12. Waggy Schnauzers - Madness

13. I'm A Retriever - The Monkees

14. Honapoochie Boogie - Mutt The Poodle

15. You've Lost That Lovin' Feline - The Righteous Brothers

16. Baby Got Ridgeback - Sir Win-a-Lot

17. Cairn The Cairn - Suzi Quatro

18. Stand By Your Manx - Tammy Wynette

Voting is open to all readers and not just those who entered. Let me know your top five in order of preference. I'll award 7 points for every first choice, 5 for second and then 3, 2 and 1 for the rest.

The deadline for voting is next Sunday (8 November) and the results will be announced a week today. You can submit your votes in the comments section below or by email to leggies27@hotmail.co.uk.
