Smells Like the Dog Park

This song is inspired by true events that we witnessed last year. Full disclosure, we are not fans of dog parks. Far too many dogs have been needlessly exposed to illnesses or injured at them. Now we know friends, who love their local dog park. So we don’t want to offend anyone. However, here is Asa’s parody of his perspective on the chaotic situation, sung to the tune of Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit.”

Load up the dogs, listen humans
It’s fun to play with no reason
She’s a purebred and self-assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word

Bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, dog park
Bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, dog park
Bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, dog park
Bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark

With no recall, this is dangerous
At the park now, can’t contain us
He’s got Parvo and contagious
At the park now, can’t contain us

A Retriever, a Rottweiler
A Chihuahua, and a Schnauzer
Yeah
Hey
Yay

It’s worse than you could guess
All of these dogs cause me great stress
A little group of just good friends
Are always better in the end

Bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, dog park
Bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, dog park
Bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, dog park
Bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark

With no recall, this is dangerous
At the park now, can’t contain us
He’s got Parvo and contagious
At the park now, can’t contain us

A Retriever, a Rottweiler
A Chihuahua, and a Schnauzer
Yeah
Hey
Yay

And I forget my etiquette
Oh yeah, I guess it made some sense
I found it hard, it’s hard to find
To sniff old friends, who’s this behind?

Bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, dog park
Bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, dog park
Bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, dog park
Bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark

With no recall, this is dangerous
At the park now, can’t contain us
He’s got Parvo and contagious
At the park now, can’t contain us

A Retriever, a Rottweiler
A Chihuahua, and a Schnauzer

This place is wilder than a mosh pit at a Nirvana concert!
