two years pass...

i've been putting together a mix for fox-ophile friend. some good suggestions above. none of these have been mentioned:

The Young Tradition - Daddy Fox
Polmo Polpo - Requiem for a Fox
Hugh Hopper & Mark Hewins - Urban Fox
Twelve Thousand Days - Dun Fox
Cassius - Foxxy
Heidi Berry - Little Fox
Sweeney's Men - Reynard the Fox
Robert Wyatt - Tom Hay's Fox

no shortage of folk and prog foxsongs. any other suggestions for jazz, funk, or hiphop 'fox' trax, etc ... anything else a little different?

why can't Egoexpress' Foxy have a title track? or Bronze Age Fox a theme song?

"Silver Fox" by RJD2

― max (maxreax), Wednesday, 24 May 2006 15:11 (nineteen years ago)

Somewhat ambiguously, Big Boi (OutKast) - Bowtie ("fox fur on my neck" or something like it)

Also, of course, Neko Case - Fox Confessor Brings The Flood
and Rilo Kiley - Portions For Foxes

― Vornado, Wednesday, 24 May 2006 15:23 (nineteen years ago)

surely Ted Nugent has a song or two about foxes (hunting/killing of)?

― hank (hank s), Wednesday, 24 May 2006 16:28 (nineteen years ago)

what, no Cocteau Twins yet?

"Frou-Frou Foxes In Mid-summer Fires"

― scnnr drkly (scnnr drkly), Wednesday, 24 May 2006 16:32 (nineteen years ago)

Surely you can't fail to use this one!:

The Leaveners - The Fire and the Hammer (cantata based on writings of George Fox, founder of the Society of Friends)

― Vornado, Wednesday, 24 May 2006 16:39 (nineteen years ago)

Must include:

Fox the Boombox - Foxy Walker

― larssen (larssen), Wednesday, 24 May 2006 17:05 (nineteen years ago)

Lightnin' Hopkins and Billy Bizor, "The Fox Chase" Get it on the Freeform Patterns album. It's insane the way Bizor yowls.

Balfa Brothers, "J'ai vu le loup, le renard et la balette" Really cool & ancient Cajun song.

Vance's Tennessee Breakdowners, "Washington County Fox Chase." Old-time fiddle instrumental with cool clawhammer banjo.

― novamax (novamax), Wednesday, 24 May 2006 17:22 (nineteen years ago)

"Foxes" by the bolshoi is a really fun song, it's about a guy who meets a girl and goes to her house for dinner and it's a trap or they want to convert him to a cult or something. "a family of foxes with manners of men"

― -rainbow bum- (-rainbow bum-), Wednesday, 24 May 2006 18:12 (nineteen years ago)

I would also search for a tracklist for this:

Eric Clapton, Bryan Ferry and others to play a pro-hunting concert

und - fox in a box (traum)

"she's a fox"
can't remember the name of the band, i had it on a vinyl comp of pre-experience hendrix tracks.
the chorus goes "my baby, she's a stone fox".
great song, laid-back and funky.

― m0stly clean (m0stly clean), Wednesday, 24 May 2006 22:07 (nineteen years ago)

for the archives... found a few more:

Further - Gimme Indie Fox
Robert Ashley - The Fox
Visit Venus - Kinski Disko Fox Machine (or the Groove Armada remix of same)
The Young Tradition - Foxhunt
Tower Recordings - Ray of Reynardine

esp. proud of the Ashley. talk about "something different."
