Dogs on The Roof | Song Backstory
Catch the backstory and stories behind the song, “Dogs On The Roof.”
In Detroit, there’s a house. Not far from where I started teaching – and there’s dogs on the roof. Three floors up as you walk by, you get the novel experience of pit bulls that believe they are in The Lion King Movie, welcoming you to the neighborhood with their ferocious barks.
It’s startling. Unexpected. (probably a little annoying). But, it's undeniable - I've never seen this before.
And it hit me, I want to be a dog on the roof. To be unexpected, surprising, undeniable.
This one is for everyone out there looking to live a life that startles others because you are taking a new path, doing something that hasn't been done before, looking to be novel, maybe a little annoying too.
