‘Rock and Roll Zoo’, Illustrations Featuring Literal Interpretations of Rock Songs With Animal-Themed Titles

Rock and Roll Zoo

Artist Tracy Worral, in collaboration with the conceptual art gallery Dorothy, has created “Rock N’ Roll Zoo,” cleverly-illustrated literal interpretations of animal-themed titles of rock songs.

Our slightly weird but very wonderful Rock ‘N Roll Zoo is home to a whole host of fantastical animals large and small including Buffalo Soldier (Bob Marley), Elephant Stone (The Stone Roses), Eye Of the Tiger (Survivor), Leopard-Skin Pillbox Hat (Bob Dylan), Monkey Gone To Heaven (Pixies), Rocky Raccoon (The Beatles), Crocodile Rock (Elton John), The Love Cats (The Cure), Diamond Dogs (David Bowie), Hounds of Love (Kate Bush), Little Red Rooster (The Rolling Stones), Beetlebum (Blur) and Superfly (Curtis Mayfield).

Prints can be purchased via Dorothy.
