...but a dog is a dog, is a dog, is a dog... (in Contests)

unlike the wolf who'll make a little bit of granny pie...

I dug deep, ya'll :) want some more?

Pat my back, I'm contented. Touch my tail and I will wag it, get you the newspaper...

Will Smith - A Dog Is A Dog. -.-

C'mon, I need a 2nd winner to do the item namings...
Next clue after this one in 10 more minutes, one you might be able to Google...
Item naming drops off of prize package at that time (25k only)

Extend your hand and I will lick it, throw a stick and I will get it, toss the bone, I'll be forever in your favor - standing guard in the yard...

DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince

"A Dog is a Dog"

I'm not familiar with that, but if the lyrics match, they were lifted or sampled from this original ( a common practice with rap...)

Uh, Will Smith is Fresh Prince. He probably just re-did the song.

I just Googled the Will Smith/Fresh Prince tune - not even remotely close.

Nellie Mckay - the Dog Song.

LOL

Okay, naming is eliminated with this clue, 25k prize only

The following lyrics are from a different tune, but by the same artist on the same CD:

Bow wow wow yippee yo yippee yay bow wow yippee yow yippee yay

You still need to guess the original tune, though.

Erm, I'm doing this from memory. But I'm pretty sure the song you are refering to is From George Clinton / Parliament / Funkadelic called "Man's Best Friend".

Oh, the second one is Atomic Dog.

Snoop Dogg
Doggy Dog World

Chocolate Thunder is the winner!!!

BarzooMonkey (The Wonka Factory) 69.161.88.153 Chocolate Thunder (Black Caesar) $25000 -- Winner! 12:23 AM EDT

I'm so happy that I stumped Google and that someone actually got it from memory, that I'm putting the item naming back in the prize package!

Congrats on a successful contest! Mine stumped google, but because it was way too obscure...

Thanks Barzoo, very good contest :)
