Dolly Parton memorably sang Love Is Like A Butterfly (lyrics). Sadly, history does not record how Ms Parton reacted upon discovering exactly what those cruel, heartless butterfly catchers actually do to butterflies – although her follow-up single, Love Is Like A … Oh No! The Butterfly Net! Oh God! THE PIN! THE PIN!, which was performed to a dissonant industral soundtrack provided by Throbbing Gristle instead of the normal twanging steel guitars, was one of Dolly’s few notable commercial failures.

Songs featuring insects #1
I would like to nominate Let It Bee.
Sorry. Was that tomorrow’s post?
Anything by The Beatles, too
But I’d give Alien Ant Farm a miss because they covered a song by Kiddyfiddler Jackson.
… and they weren’t that good live, were fairly rude, and I got concussion as a result of attending one of their gigs.
Not that I’m bitter at all.
Hmm I quite liked AAF. Although they never hit me on the head. My head isn’t as soft as some anyway …
I quite liked AAF too, until I went to the gig.
I think part of it might have been down to galloping old age combined with grumpiness at being kicked in the head by a bunch of 15 year old private schoolboys in Linkin Park hoodies, thinking that crowd surfing and shoving people over constitues moshing and thus makes them rebels.
So lets be honest. You have issues with 15 year olds not AAF then.
