a place for weird, unique, or oddly specific playlists


the rules:

  1. be civil. let’s try to keep our community as chill as possible. no bullying, zero tolerance for transphobia, hate speech or any of that bigoted bullshit.
  1. be content with the content. if someone didn't make a playlist the way you would, make your own and post it please. no bullying, no picking on, mocking or complaining about anyones playlist or musical tastes.
  1. remember: all music is good music to someone. general discussions about music you like and don’t like is fine, but please refrain from comments that will make someone feel bad about what they enjoy.
  1. no self-promotion. this is not a group for promoting your music or a business, website, app, instagram.. you get the idea. it's just playlists in here

Songs about werewolves or that definately apply to werewolfish experiences. Preferable upbeat pop/rock (not metal tho). Any suggestions are appreciated, thx!

Edit: Due to tonal drift, werewolf folk is also requested and 'upbeat' is not strictly required.

Metallica - of wolf and man

It's hard rock but metal adjacent, maybe you won't want it

Wolf Like Me by TV on the Radio

[–] tetrachromacy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

This one, but IMO Lera Lynn and Shovels and Rope did a cover of this song that I like better. It feels more intimate and personal.

I Was a Teenage Werewolf by The Cramps is great.

Bad Moon Rising by Creedence Clearwater Revival was used for the transformation scene in An American Werewolf in London, so I always associate it with that.

Edit: I didn't know the song Wolfman, but now it's on my Halloween playlist. :)

"I'm the Wolf" - Howlin' Wolf

Little Red Riding Hood, by Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs.

Still of the Night, by Whitesnake. Metal, but old school.

Monster Mash, by Bobby Pickett

Thriller, by Michael Jackson

Big Bad Wolf - In This Moment Edit: shit, just saw that you don't want metal. Leaving it, maybe someone else does 🤷

It's appreciated anyway <3

Anything by Powerwolf really

  • Credence Cleareater Revival - Bad Moon
  • Goose - Silver Rising
  • Phish - The Howling
  • Grateful Dead - Dire Wolf
  • Phish - Wolfman's Brother
[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Phish has a song Wolfman's Brother that is pretty upbeat and the album version from Hoist is a very reasonable 4 and a half minutes.

[–] sockman@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago

Since TV on the Radio was suggested already I'll put in Howling at the Moon by Phantogram

[–] Phil_in_here@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

"Clap for the Wolfman" by the Guess Who maybe?

[–] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 week ago

He gonna rate your record high.

Radiohead - Wolf at the Door!

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Bear Ghost - 12 Years Howled, may be a but metal-y though

🎶You look so good in the glow of the full moonlight

🎶Oh baby you bring out the beast in me (oh shit!)

[–] voxthefox@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 week ago

pedestrian wolves- oingo boingo

  • Furr by Blitzen Trapper
  • You're A Wolf by Sea Wolf
  • Give That Wolf A Banana by Subwoolfer (not really werewolf, just about furries)
[–] FrickAndMortar@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Bark at the moon - Ozzy

Bat out of hell - Meatloaf, for the spoken-word intro

[–] TimeChild@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago

The Werewolf - Paul Simon

May not fit what you're looking for, but my first thoughts are:

  • The Wolf by SIAMES
  • Another Way Out by Hollywood Undead
  • The Wolves by JJ and The Pillars
[–] Imhotep@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

The lupine waltz, piano only, short, not pop rock.

But I still wanted to share it because it's cute

The rest of the album is maybe what you're looking for. From a quick listen its electro swing, rock, bit of everything

[–] Okokimup@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Give that Wolf a Banana by Subwoolfer would fit.

Eta: check out their other songs, they have a whole wolves eating grandmas theme.

Werewolf by Motionless in White

Werewolf Shame by Direct Hit!

[–] k2r@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Shakira - She Wolf

[–] sangriaferret@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

I was a Teenage Werewolf - The Cramps

Killer Wolf - Danzig

Wolfblood - Misfits
