From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Shoot the Dog" is a single by the Dance Pop singer George Michael released as the second single from his album Patience, though released a year and a half prior to the album. The song is an anti-Tony Blair song. Released on August 26, 2002, it peaked on the Top 40 in the United Kingdom, Germany, and in Australia. The music video for the song is completely animated (done by the same people who created 2DTV) and shows people in different locations such as the White House, the west, and in a desert. During some performances of the song cut-outs of some of the animated characters from the video are seen on the stage.
The single marks 20 years since the release of Wham!'s first single, "Wham Rap! (Enjoy What You Do)", another politically-charged song written by Michael. "Shoot the Dog" samples the Human League song "Love Action (I Believe In Love)" and at one point directly samples the chorus. The song also samples the ABC song "A to Z" (there is no evidence to support this, for the liner notes of the Patience album do not say this).
