Dragons in Songs

  • Albi, from the Flight of the Conchords song "Albi the Racist Dragon"
  • Grundore the Plighter, the fabeled beast from the song "Love is but a Rainbow"
  • "Puff, the Magic Dragon", best known from the hit single by Peter, Paul and Mary, but has been performed by countless other artists. Puff the Magic Dragon was first a poem by Leonard Lipton and adapted by Peter Yarrow. The poem tells of an ageless dragon who befriends a young boy, only to be abandoned as the boy ages and forgets him. This is sometimes suspected of being riddled with references to the drug marijuana, though the authors have publicly ridiculed this notion.
  • Tharos, from the Emerald Sword Saga, a collection of five albums by the symphonic metal band Rhapsody.
  • Trogdor the Burninator, from the Homestar Runner Internet cartoon
  • 'Consummate The Dragon' song by Shai Hulud

Famous quotes containing the words dragons and/or songs:

    Hermann and Humbert are alike only in the sense that two dragons painted by the same artist at different periods of his life resemble each other. Both are neurotic scoundrels, yet there is a green lane in Paradise where Humbert is permitted to wander at dusk once a year; but Hell shall never parole Hermann.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    When I am dead, my dearest, Sing no sad songs for me;
    Plant thou no roses at my head, Nor shady cypress tree:
    Be the green grass above me With showers and dewdrops wet;
    And if thou wilt, remember, And if thou wilt, forget.
    Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)
