"(You're a) Strange Animal" is a song by Scottish-born Canadian musician Lawrence Gowan.

Released in May 1985 as the second single from his second studio album, Strange Animal, it reached number 15 in Canada.

Gowan's inspiration came from the writings of Hermann Hesse and an interest pull that various individuals can have on life.

It serves as the theme song to a fictional sitcom titled Gordy's Home, which factors heavily into the plot.

[3] A remixed version of the song produced by electronic musician Pogo is currently used as the theme song for the online right-wing talk show Louder with Crowder.
