"The Animal Song" is a song by Australianpop music duoSavage Garden, released as a single on 23 February 1999. The song was written for the soundtrack of the filmThe Other Sister and also appeared on their second studio album,Affirmation (1999), as well as their compilation album,Truly Madly Completely: The Best of Savage Garden. It was the band's first song to be produced byWalter Afanasieff, a producer well known for his work withMariah Carey. Afanasieff would later produce the group'sAffirmation album, and alsoDarren Hayes' first solo album,Spin.

Background

[edit]

The video for the song was directed by Jim Gable. It features Hayes walking through aparade, with intercut scenes fromThe Other Sister withJuliette Lewis. The song is also used in the "Shamu Rocks" seasonal nighttime show atSeaWorld, America. "The Animal Song" became the group's third Canadian number one single, topping thesingles chart for three weeks, from 27 March 1999. It also peaked at number three in both Australia and New Zealand, number 19 in the United States, and number 16 on theUK Singles Chart.

In June 2015, singer Darren Hayes explained that Savage Garden had been offered to record a song forRunaway Bride. However they passed up on the proposal and instead chose to compose a song "for the film that flopped".[1]Daniel Jones described "The Animal Song" as a "transitional song" between theirfirst andsecond albums and a "fun song that made you feel good".

The lyrics of the song deal with the struggles experienced by individuals suffering frommental illnesses, and more generally with the difficulty in expressing one's emotions and finding compassion in a confusing world that stultifies individuals with all kinds of rules. According to Darren Hayes, his longing for life in the tropical climes ofAustralia while living in theUnited States provided further inspiration for the lyrics.
