I can only think of 'Karma Chameleon', which is not so great, but I'm in the mood for some cool songs about lizards. Please help.

he roars like a dragon in it ... i think it counts
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Friday, 8 May 2020 23:39 (five years ago)
does sombre reptiles count? not all reptiles are lizards but all lizards are reptiles
ill - slithering lizardsthe mermen - lizardsterry riley - lizard tower gang (from "the palmyian chord riddle")"four skinks" by the reptile palace orchestra from their album "on the wings of a skink" - i mean really this is just a balkan brass cover of led zeppelin's "four sticks" but honestly, outside of that sonic youth song how many songs about skinks are there really?

if reptiles count then The Soft Boys, "He's a Reptile"

Thanks for all these, quite a few I don't know and will listen through. Puns also welcome, though try not to lead me on a wild gecko chase if they're not obvious. Special shout-out to rushomancy for reminding me of that ILL song, they rule.

I did wonder about dragons and/or dinosaurs, but I think we'd end up getting bogged down with those entries at the expense of our true lizardly friends. 'Reptile' songs okay with me, though.

Motörhead - Love Me Like a Reptile
Knew I had to bite you, babyWhen I first laid eyes on youThat moment turned me onI can't believe it's true
And I like to watch your body swayI got no choice, I'm gonna twist your tailLove me like a reptile, love me like a reptileI'm gonna sink my fangs in you
Thunder lizard, stony eyeYou got me hypnotisedHot tongue breaks in and outAnd I can't believe my eyes
And your soft white belly, next to mineScaly baby, see you shineLove me like a reptile, love me like a reptileYou're a murder in disguiseBlack mamba, murder disguised
Baby, you're a rattlesnakeYou know the way I feelFeel you crawling up my backYou've got no love to steal
You know I've got my eyes on youYou're petrified, gonna stick like glueLove me like a reptile, love me like a reptileShock you like an electric eelShock you like an electric eel
