Happy International Dog Day! To celebrate this adorable and noble holiday, we thought we’d have a little fun and fetch some of our favorite “dog” songs you should listen to today.

(Get it? Dog…fetch? Fine! They can’t all be winners.)

Anyway, here are eight “Dog” rock songs in honor of International Dog Day.

• The Stooges – “I Wanna Be Your Dog”

  Share

  Carnal and raw, it’s The Stooges is their purest form.

• Temple of the Dog – “Hunger Strike”

  Share

  Technically not a “dog” song, but how could we really keep Temple of the Dog off this list?

• AC/DC – “Dog Eat Dog”

  Share

  An underrated track from AC/DC’s 'Let There Be Rock.'  In fact, after listening to all these “dog” songs, just go listen to Let There Be Rock.  Your day will be better for it.
• Flogging Molly – “Every Dog Has Its Day”

  Share

  A mainstay on Flogging Molly’s setlist, one listen and we already want to start pre-gaming for St. Patrick’s Day.

• The Cult – “Peace Dog”

  Share

  “Peace Dog” can be found on 1987’s Electric, which is so underrated it’s practically criminal.  Fun fact:  Electric was produced by Rick Rubin.  You can thank us for that factoid later when it eventually helps you win a game of pub trivia.

• Beck – “Diamond Dogs”

  Share

  It takes a lot of guts to cover David Bowie, but Beck’s moody rendition of “Diamond Dogs” from the 'Moulin Rouge' soundtrack is a killer.
• Eagles of Death Metal – “Poor Doggie”

  Share

  With a groove like this, no wonder it can be found on their album called 'Death By Sexy.'

• Motorhead – “Dogs”

  Share

  Can you think of a more badass way to end this list?  Didn’t think so.
